The Fool (0)

A step into the unknown with an open heart.

The image

A young traveller in a bright tunic strides toward a cliff edge, a white rose in one hand and a small bundle on his staff, a white dog leaping at his heels under a rising sun.

Keywords: beginning, trust, freedom

Light side

Fresh eyes and a light step: you can begin without knowing the whole route, trusting that the path will show itself as you walk.

Shadow side

Lightness can turn into not looking at all. The little dog is a reminder: openness is not the same as ignoring a real edge.

Drawing The Fool in a game of Leela

In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the Classic Tarot when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:

• If you were not afraid of looking foolish, what first step would you take with this question?
• What does "The Fool" show you about your square?
• If "The Fool" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "The Fool" in your life right now?
