Description: The Fool is shown here as a young person stepping carefree, or carelessly, to the edge of a precipice surrounded by high mountains. Even as he looks off into the distant yonder, the drop at his feet seems to hold no fear for him. A dog barks at his feet.

The wand over his shoulder is symbolic of the will, and his wallet contains the stored awareness of universal knowledge. He is carrying a white rose to indicate freedom from the lower forms of desire.

The Fool is about to take the supreme adventure of passing through the gates of experience to reach Divine Wisdom. He is the Cosmic Life Force about to descend into the realm of physical manifestation. Each of us must move forward through life and choose between good and evil.

If you have no philosophy, then you are The Fool. We all must pass through the experiences suggested in the remaining 21 cards, finally reaching in card 21 Cosmic Consciousness or Divine Wisdom.

Divinatory Meaning: You face a choice in life - one of utmost importance to you. So be careful to use all your powers to make the right choice.

Reversed: The choice you make is likely to be faulty.
