Ingredients
The Fool
Method, Visualization and Meditation
Enter the arcana of the Fool.
Say hello to the true mascot of tarot. Stand on the threshold as so many other have before you.
Everyone ignores the Madman, dancing on the edges of reality. Are you mad to enter the tarot? You can not turn away, you follow his maniacal laughter and stand atop a mountain peak. The Fool prances before you. The sun casts blinding white light of potential upon your upturned face. The Fool carries a white rose, symbolic of innocence. Only the innocent would follow his example. Only those who are pure of heart can follow his course. Can you forget all you know? Would you risk it? The Fool risks everything because he has nothing. With nothing to lose, you have everything to gain.
Leave your preconceived notions at the door. Shed your clothing. Rules? Throw them out the window. The Fool knows neither up or down. The Fool is ridiculous. The Fool is an opening. Can you hear his maniacal laughter?
The sacred symbol of all life, the circle, the zero, hangs above his head. No thing. It is the shape of the solar system, our planet, your eyes, a clock, an egg, the very shape of the molecules building your body. To enter the O is to enter the physical world. O is manifestation of physical reality. O is us as far as we can explain and experience ourselves. O is the beginning of the tarot. Is is also the end. The Fool is both ascended master and novice. Enter the mystery.
Begin your adventure.
Incantation
Doorway, thresh hold, ground I stand,
What is this foreign, mystic land?
Answers sought, questions known,
Through this territory I shall roam.
Trod this path, like souls before,
Search until I find my door.
Search woolen pockets, pluck the key,
As I unleash infinity.
The Fool from the Raven’s Prophecy Tarot
Wonderful points here. I’ve always felt a particular draw to Tarot cards. Seems like this book would be a great way to continue to connect with them. Thanks so much for sharing this!
So, what doeszx the fool together with the magician mean? I do tarot myself, but this likewise came up for myself. How can one be a fool and an infinitely wise magician? One must trust with instinct or nature to gain the toolszx and wayszx of magick, but then the fool becomeszx something he, or she, is not, which is the epitome of foolishness, to live a lie, although they still acquire the greatest giftszx… That was my best interpretation, but it is still a riddle, of depth, i think. Doeszx the fool / magican really know what he is doing? Do they practice magick foolishly? Or do they give up everything for even greater thingszx? Many cardszx come up together as larger riddleszx, but i thought this would be good to post here, talking about the fool, anyway, and since they are pretty much polar oppositeszx, the magician and the fool. The magician is master / masterful, and the fool is nothing / nothingness.
