The Fool

The Fool is the first or the last card in the Tarot deck. It is equivalent to the joker of playing card decks. It is a trump card or part of the Major Arcana. It represents the beginning of a journey. There is a childlike innocence and faith in this card. The hero stars off his journey with hopeful enthusiasm. 

The path The Fool is walking upon has not been fully mapped out. An inherent risk is part of any new venture. This risk is symbolized by the cliff which appears beneath The Fool's feet. 

This is the card associated with the 11th path in Kabbalistic path-working. It contains 2 symbols. A hat with a feather and a staff. In the hero's hand we can also see a rose.This is a good card to meditate on when you are experiencing fear issues.

Fortune

I have started working with the Thoth Tarot deck. This deck was designed by Aleister Crowley. The beautiful artwork was painted by Lady Frieda Harris. This deck was missing for the longest time. I moved a bureau out into the hall and found it on the floor. 

Today's card is Jupiter. It is the 10th card in the deck. It is a major arcana card. Jupiter is the planet associated with this card. Jupiter is known as the greater fortune. This would seem to be a fortuitous card to have appear in a reading.
