THE FOOL
In many esoteric systems of interpretation, the Fool is usually interpreted as the protagonist of a story, and the Major Arcana is the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life and the main human archetypes. This path is known traditionally in Tarot as the Fool's Journey. It represents the ineluctable march of man into evolution his destiny is hidden from him, because it constitutes the hope of a better life he has to travel. He is the one that returns reborned with the oblivion of what will be, he represents the end and the beginning, the change, risks and the confrontations of fears, is the spirit in search of experience, the cleverness bereft of reason within us and the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. He possesses the “crazy wisdom and the appreciation of beauty”, his animal desires or the call of the real world is constantly nipping his heels distracting him.*
