The Fool Tarot Card – Tarot

Posted by O on

The Fool Tarot Card

The Fool is one of three cards in the Tarot that is sometimes numbered uniquely, according to the author or illustrator of a tarot deck. Most often, the Fool is placed at the beginning of the Major Arcana and is given the Number 0. Sometimes, the Fool is listed as the last card in the Trump cards, and given the Number 22. Technically, the Fool is very much akin to the “Jester” or “Wild Card” in regular playing cards. He is outside the confines of the regular cards, which gives him a special status which makes it reasonable to place him at the beginning of the deck. In this analytical series, the Fool follows the traditional 0 placement.

Card Number: 0

Key Number: 11

Rulership: Air

Hebrew Letter: Aleph

Translation: Ox

Numerical Value: 3

Color: White

Herb: Peppermint

Incense: Allspice

Oil: Sandalwood

Gemstone: Clear Quartz

Planet: Uranus

The Fool represents the “everyperson” – the essence of us all embarking on the journey of life, self-discovery and mastery. He is the innocent, the whimsical, the “inner child” mixed with the “inner sage” that lives down deep inside of us all. He faces life and his journey unafraid, trusting, the perfect example of total and utter faith that all will be well, that every experience has a deep essential meaning. He trapses along the crags of life, regardless of any hidden peril or disappointment, his eyes are turned to the heavens and he knows that he will be kept safe and whole along his travels. Key words associated with the Fool are new beginnings, important decisions and optimism.

The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man is the only Tarot card visibly based on a mythological figure. He is Odin, the Norse god who hung from the World Tree for nine days to earn the knowledge of the Runes. Of all the cultures who embody the search for knowledge in their myths, only Odin carries out his quest without moving, at least in the physical sense. The true quest is seeking within, not without. This may be confusing at first, but only because the Hanged Man is the card of the paradox. The Hanged Man’s mysteries are some of the oddest yet most enlightening the Tarot has to offer, and they cannot be learned by searching for lessons in the physical world – you must turn within.

Even the appearance of the card is paradoxical. Simple in design, it is one of the more complex Arcana. The lessons it offers are easy to understand but hard to accept when they apply to you. The most obvious answer to a problem may be the simplest, but it is rarely the best. To admit that you are afraid will give you the strength to conquer your fear. When you relinquish your desire for control, everything begins to work as it should. In a world in which you must run as fast as you can to stay where you are, the Hanged Man tells you to stop struggling – and you can move forward. Tell this to others and it seems obvious; try to do it yourself and it will become impossible.

Why is this? Telling others that they have to hang from a tree is simple, but no one wants to hang himself. The Hanged Man, however, has hung himself, and see how much wisdom he has found! Despite his obviously uncomfortable position, he is often pictured as smiling, and with a golden halo around his head to show divine inspiration and power. He is totally vulnerable to the world, and in his vulnerability he has found strength. The sacrifice he has made is his own freedom and power in the physical world; in exchange, he is granted real freedom and power on the spiritual plane. He gives up his old ways of looking at things and is blessed with new eyes.

True Stories of Telling Fortunes with Tea Leaves

True Stories of Telling Fortunes with Tea Leaves.

Once when I was reading tea leaves at a Denver metaphysical fair, one of the fair’s organizers came to me for a reading. She wanted to know if I saw any possibility of a love life for her in the future. Immediately when I peered into her cup I saw the image of a middle-aged man wearing a kilt and one of those Scottish caps with the tassel. Next to the man, as clear as day, sat the image of a golf club. Farther along in the cup I discerned a bower of flowers………

Typeface Tarot

Filed under: Decks — Tags: ,  — Lynda Cowles @ 9:35 pm

What do you get when someone with no artistic ability decides to create a tarot deck? That’s right, you’re looking at it. The Typeface Tarot is a majors-only deck in which the only thing allowed on each card is the name of that card. All meaning has to be conveyed through choice of font alone.

The Typeface Tarot is mine – I made it by ruthlessly appropriating the creative talents of font designers who foolishly made their work available for free on FontSpace. Mwa-ha-ha!

I, in turn, have made the Typeface Tarot free – if you want it, you can have it, as long as you don’t mind downloading it and printing it out yourself (ah, there’s always a catch).

Anyway, here are some of the cards. Click here to see more!

The Fool – “The Tourist” by Radiohead

 

It barks at no-one else but me,
Like it’s seen a ghost.
I guess it’s seen the sparks a-flowin,
No-one else would know.
Hey man, slow down, slow down,
Idiot, slow down, slow down…………….
