Card of the Day: The Fool 3.24.07
The card pictured above is from the Marseilles Deck, entitled Le Mat.
First card of the Major Arcana, it is not numbered.
A youth sets out on a journey, not knowing or caring where the path leads or what they will encounter. Accompanied by an animal companion and carrying a sack with all their possessions, he/she expresses their joy in the infinite possiblities ahead, the excitement of the journey, and hope in the future. But folly is also here, and immaturity, and carelessness.
