Card : The Fool

A man is moving towards the horizon, holding a cane in his hand. He carries a yellow bag on his right shoulder. He is dressed up like a pilgrim who would start a journey towards an uncertain road.

Behind him an animal seems holding on to him. It may be a cat or a dog but the character does not give importance to this animal and follows his path, despite the obstacles that are before him. He seems going towards an uncertain road.

The Fool is often placed at the beginning of the cycle, and is the only major arcane that does not bear a number. The card represents a character still immature that would start his journey towards knowledge and wisdom.
