That's how I've mostly read the cards for myself since I got my first deck (the Marseilles) when I was 14. Thank you for the validation of my 'way's.

Your writing on the Fool's importance has brought much depth to my understanding of this card and really made me think. I plan to pull the Fool card out of each of my 7 decks tomorrow and ponder each one for new insights, on April Fool's day, as you suggested! Thank you so much.

I’m so glad it brought you insight and inspired you to engage with all your Fools. The best way to deeply understand the images on the cards is to simply spend time looking at them, free associating, and making connections. Happy April Fool’s Day 🃏

Lovely. Thank you. The Fool has accompanied me for longer than I like to remember, reminding me how often it's helpful to seek out an edge.

Hi Roselle, I’m convinced that “the edge” is the most uncomfortable but most important place to be. It symbolizes the the risks and opportunities that lay before us. Though it is said “only fools rush in” they also go “where angels fear to tread” and that is where we must go to be fully alive and reach our highest potential.
