This card occupies a unique position in the Tarot because no number is assigned to it -- its Key is Zero -- and it is sometimes positioned at the beginning of the Major Arcana and sometimes at the end. The Fool represents both the beginning and the culmination of the mystical quest.

The Fool is the eternal youth, *puer aetermus*, and he we seem him about to step off a cliff into the abyss below. In his left hand he carries a white rose representing spiritual desire, and in his right hand a staff or wand. Dangling from the end of the staff is a little bag or wallet containing the four elements -- Fire, Water, Earth and Air.

The Fool is one of the 78 cards in a tarot deck. In tarot card reading, it is one of the 22 Major Arcana, sometimes numbered as 0 (the first) or XXI (the last). However, in decks designed for playing traditional tarot card games, it is typically unnumbered, as it is not one of the 21 trump cards and instead serves a unique purpose by itself.

Interpretations

In many esoteric systems of tarot card interpretation, the Fool is interpreted as the protagonist of a story, and the Major Arcana is the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life. This path is known traditionally in cartomancy as the "Fool's Journey", and is frequently used to introduce the meaning of Major Arcana cards to beginners.

The Fool card is associated with:

Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment. [If the card is] Reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.

Though as this is magnesian limestone and not iron pyrites you'd be even more gullible .... Easington beach, NE England.

I just had some left over fabric from my wavy-line quilt (see my previous upload) and I made this block. I will use it on the back of the quilt.

One year ago I made some log cabin blocks, using my first batch of hand-dyed fabrics. After I've made them, I didn't know what to do with them. I am still not completely sure, but I am fooling around a bit today and already did a bit of sewing, maybe I'll surprise myself.

This picture is stamped on the back from Matanzas. Inscribed in writing it says something about "El Commandante Sanchez lanzando le primera bola en la inauguracion del Palmar de _____?"

So the very handsome Cuban dealer from whom I bought this claims that this Commandante is pitching to El Presidente, himself. Now, I know that he was probably shitting me, but this was not a hard sell. For all I know he was throwing to Batista, but when a handsome Latino, who speaks to me in Italian and English and Spanish all interchangeably, tells me something, fool that I am, I buy it, literally.

What can you do? I'm a sucker for an accent and good story.

Note to America-An Angelic Prospectus

He had to let the pressure out

Before it got too old,

Before the fire stopped burning-

Before it got too cold.

He had to get adjusted,

Before it got too late-

Before the river ran its course

And left him at the gate.

He listened to you long enough,

Let you have your say-

Hunkered down in dreary towns,

Free-falling in the fray.

Some things don’t matter anymore-

It’s plain enough to see,

Some things are very simple,

They happen…. naturally.

Independence indigence,

Insurrection-on-

Spiritual insanity,

Delusion on the throne.

Continental congress,

Covenant complete-

Freedom found

From captive crown,

Taxation by defeat.

Won in war by warrior

Bowed behind the scene,

Governmental grannies

Gassed and running lean.

Sequential celebration

Leaning to the right,

Took the town

To middle ground

Then sweetened up the fight.

Promise within promises,

Permanence in peace,

Stolen blind

By kindred minds

In national retreat.

God is gone,

Like Gustov’s ghost

On graduated ground-

Ridden rampant on a rail,

Run right out of town.

Religion’s rotting refuse,

Educated zeal,

Baby and bathwater,

Thrown out

By window seal.

Agreement by convenience,

The triad is complete-

The church, the crown,

The golden ground,

Professionals at least.

Garish, gloating, gatherings,

Temperamental tasks-

Tarnished targets

Tempting time with

Brutal baby blasts.

Fallen fronts,

Forensic flash,

Fine and faker fast-

Foul and festering

Filthy freight,

Fleeing from the past.

Happy hoppy horn toad,

Captain of the world-

No feral fear,

Calm crystal queer-

Call every boy and girl.

Mother’s mayhem

Adam’s aunt,

Gone completely mad-

Tried-on,

Tricked-up trousers

Tenderized a tad.

Evening ever-afters,

Happy once again-

Haunted house,

Forget the mouse,

“Egad”

The men are dead.

Lovely Lucys laughing,

Controlling interest lair,

The lion is dead,

So go to bed-

Don’t bother with the bear.

Fashion fledgling,

Faded farce,

Fractured flaky foe-

Disneyed duckling

Drawn and daft,

Domesticated woe.

Fricasseed and

Freezer freed,

Stolen by the mole-

Galloping,

The gourmet ran

Grimly to the goal.

Down and distance

Delicate,

Don’t do the

Dirty Dan.

Playmate pawns

Now petrified,

Passed on by

Peter Pan.

Willful,

Wicked wonders-

Empty and petite-

Cover blown,

Refused by phone-

Destined for defeat.

Sayonara Sonya-

Cronkite caught a cold-

While Willy Wonka

Whacked a weed,

Then headed down

The road.

Christ like crucifixions,

Criminal and crass,

Crippled captains

Carcassed cold,

Middle-eastern mass.

Choose to tremble,

Choose to cheat,

Choose whom you will serve-

Choose to conquer,

Or..Choose defeat-

The quintessential blurb.

Honing hackers

Headed home,

Hackensackin fools,

Round and round

To tumble down-

With detrimental tools.

Hemispheric hovering-

Contract incomplete-

Pioneered truth

By blazered brute,

Confused by

Quiet elite.

It’s given best,

To those who rest,

In reverential form.

With wealth well cast

To traveler who’s sheltered

From the storm.

Retreat is not an option-

At long last life is spent-

Though living in

And impact zone

Is hardly worth the rent.

Revolution ready-

Armed and graveled green-

No average addled army,

To slay this brazen queen.

Unseen worded Warrior-

Wondrous to behold-

Breastplate bronzed

And burnished-

Countenance so bold.

Dispatched in dog-ged duty,

Determined and complete-

To fight with fire and fury,

Till victory’s at his feet!

Fool The Guesser at the Tampa State Fair

The much-vaunted Ordsall Chord, a new stretch of railway in central Manchester directly linking Deansgate and Manchester Victoria, certainly looks impressive.

However, directing so many trains along it to link up Manchester's two largest stations (Piccadilly & Victoria) contributed to the great May 2018 timetable meltdown, which is yet to be resolved. Further work may yet be required to achieve NR's dreams of connecting Picc & Vic via this viaduct...

Trick the fools.

Watch them walk

I have never played around with digital trickery but today I had some fun cartoonising myself.

I wonder why it gave me open toe shoes instead of my Mary Janes and a ring on my left forefinger and a ring on my left ring finger but removed my engagement and wedding rings from my left ring finger?

It copied the pattern on my dress pretty well though. Overall I like it.

What sort of a cartoon character would I be? Perhaps Wilma Flintstone or Jane Jetson or Marge Simpson?

How about Jessica Rabbit? I know, Snow White, she'll do. Here I am waiting for Prince Florian to come along and pick me up.
