Booklet Text
The Fool keywords are Innocence and Ignorance. It is both a good card and a cautionary tale. The card depicts a donkey that has eaten an apple containing a razor blade. Sometimes we act without thinking of the consequences, which ends up landing us in hot water. But aside from that danger, the Fool also represents a sense of childlike innocence. The happy-go-lucky person who seems to just enjoy life in a way that other people may be too afraid to do. The ignorance part of the equation simply speaks about not having enough experience to recognize dangers, but it could also mean not recognizing an opportunity when one presents itself. So this card shows two sides of the same coin. This card could also come at a time when you need to stop overthinking something and just have fun with it. In other words, dance like nobody’s watching.
