The Fool is a facinating card. Typically with tarot, the way it is described varies according to which pack you consult. In Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot (1986 - AGMuller) the fool is described as meaning "...idea, thought, spirituality, that which endeavours to trancend the earth." This card is also associated with ability, will power and diplomacy in the Lo Scarabeo (2000) version of Tarots of Marseille. The Fool in the Fairy Tarot, also made by Lo Scarabeo (2004), is represented by 'The Elf', described as "...wierd and thoughtless: he likes playing jokes and acting incomprehensibly; he is totally detatched from material worries."
The fool is a card with differing shades therefore, but the idea of the fool as representing sentience transcending and free of the material world is an enduring one. The fool is a paradoxical image, associated with great wisdom, adaptability and mental agility. Where poorly dignified however, the Fool is associated with folly, failures of judgement and wrongdoing.
