Fool's Odyssey Series

A wise friend once said, “It takes a long time to learn how to live.” The fool represents a way of being that lets go of imposing our will on the world, someone who is willing to “step out and allow the ground to rise and meet you”. I am speaking of the fool represented by Shakespeare in King Lear, by the Beatles in The Fool on the Hill, by Van Morrison in The Village Idiot, and by the historical tradition of the Tarot, dating back to the fourteenth century. Historically, people of power have looked to the fool as one who can advise in important matters that will not be solved by logic or concern for what others think.

In the Hermetic tradition, the fool also represents Hierosgamos, or the sacred marriage of the sun and the moon, night and day, male and female; the reconciliation of opposites. In the Tarot, the fool is either the first or last card in the major arcana, with the number 0 representing eternity. The fool is essential in every station along the path for the willingness and enthusiasm to step into the unknown and to every person who wants to discover his or her own voice and live into the life of an artist.
