represents our instinctual nature, the side that warns us when we are being, literally, foolish but who encourages us, indeed wants to accompany us on any new adventure worthy of risk. So, if The Fool heeds his dog, then he will likely make the right, the wise decision.
THE FOOL’S WEALTH Here we are not talking about material wealth, but a kind of perfect state of joy and freedom, a feeling of being one with the spirit of life at all times. The Fool reminds us that all things are possible to the person who is always ready to go in any direction from any starting point in time or place. The fool is movement, change, the constant leap through life; the leap of faith. He is spontaneity. The Fool teaches us that life is a continuous dance of experiences. He speaks of courage and optimism, urging faith in ourselves and in life; reminding us to trust our inner self, to trust our intuition. If we do the results may far exceed our expectations. So The Fool symbolises infinite potential. Back to Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz.
Hers was surely a fool’s journey! Consider the adventures she had, the friends she made, the enemies she conquered. Most importantly she learnt a great deal about
herself from her journey – her strengths and weaknesses, and the changes she needed to make to get what she wanted, to get where she needed to go.
ACTING THE FOOL At this time, the start of the new year, we should be viewing the year ahead – our plans and intentions – as a fool’s journey. That is, we should be approaching 2012 in a positive and trusting manner, free of old baggage and open to higher wisdom from within. Now that you have more of an
understanding of The Fool archetype, how in touch with his energy do you think you are? Ask yourself these questions: ❥ Do I view myself as an optimist or a pessimist?
❥ Do I hold on to old wounds and let them weigh me down and hold me back?
❥ Do I have a sense of adventure? ❥ Am I prepared to take a chance, a leap of faith?
HOW YOU CAN TAP INTO THE FOOL One way to get more in touch with The Fool’s energy is to find a few quiet moments to yourself. Light a candle and burn some uplifting incense such as
lemongrass or lemon myrtle, with a dash of damask rose. Sit down comfortably and take some deep breaths to help clear your mind of all those busy, hectic thoughts. Study The Fool card carefully. Close your eyes and see the vision in your mind’s eye. Now step into the vision. Breathe in The Fool’s fresh innocence. Feel his open and optimistic attitude to facing the new without fears and preconceptions. Listen to his maxims: ❥ be adventurous ❥ dare to live the dream – or at least attempt it
❥ trust the universe will support you on your journey
❥ don’t be afraid of making mistakes – they’re our greatest teachers Now see yourself as The Fool venturing
forth seeking new horizons. When at last you step back out again into your living room, continue to breathe in the revitalising energy you contacted. Take it with you on your journey through 2012 – and beyond!
