Every week I will give instruction to the meaning of each major tarot card in the Thoth deck. There are 21 major cards in this deck. Starting with The Fool.
The Fool is breath, the essence of life. As the life-breath, the Fool represents the spirit, whole and forever young. In the spirit of life, the Fool is spring green, the beginner. The Fool leaps foolishly into the unknown but lands on his feet because of his trust in the universe. Every moment for the Fool is zero, a new moment. For the Fool, living in the present, the mundane becomes mystical and adventurous.
