Ah! What a gorgeous Fool! This is a classic depiction of The Divine Fool as drawn by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909. A luscious blonde vagabond, dressed in his dandy duds (I want that blouse), all he needs tied to a stick, flower in hand, head held high to the sky, not a care in the world…and about to step off the edge of a cliff! The dog at his side – is it barking a warning, “Beware! You fool! Get your head out of the clouds! Pay attention!” Or is she saying “Yippee, this is fun?” What will happen next? Depends upon how you look at it. I, like Carl Jung, enjoy the way the Tarot works upon the reader’s subconscious interpretation of the images and meanings.

One must do something quite foolish, quite out of the ordinary, quite risky in order to start a journey. Nothing changes except by foolish steps! The Fool may step off that cliff and fall to doom – or learn that he can walk on air! We must take a leap of faith and believe that we will make it through the journey we begin. A fool is not necessarily a coward or brave, he may just start the journey completely unaware of his actions. But without his move, we’d stagnate. The Fool brings about the real change in the paradigm!

How many people do you know could use a real shift in their situation. Perhaps even yourself! Stuck between a rock and a hard place? The world got you down? Looking for a way out? An escape, but there doesn’t seem to be one in sight.

I gift you all with your very own Divine Fool Wild Card. Use it when you need it and do something only a Fool would do. And do your friends a favor. Draw up your own version of a Divine Fool Wild Card and give one to them.

Because with the way that the world is right now, we don’t just need a savior, we need a Divine Fool!
