Since I pretty much covered this card in my Exercise Reading, I will fill in the following from the book:

Background:

All quests begin with a question: "Why are things like this?"This is a variation on the famous Grail question: "Whom does the Grail serve?" This inquisitiveness is the hallmark of the Seeker, who is not content to let imbalances remain unchallenged. The Hallow {Ace} seeker is impelled by a deep urgency to know and experience: to find the world's healing and to seek for a personal direction. This path is both journey and goal. Potentially, every Seeker is the Grail winner -- a role which is open to women and men alike. The legends tell of Peredur or Perceval whose desire for experience of the world leads him into becoming one of Arthur's knights and eventually in his being the 'One Who Frees the Waters',as the Grail winner is known. Yet he starts as the Perfect Fool, the one whose divine unwisdom uncouples the chains of time and space.The Seeker's steps upon the quest are directed by his communion with the Otherworldly messengers whose song sounds in his ears.The Birds of Rhiannon betoken joy, sorrow, and aware-ness of the Otherworld, for they sing eternally on the Tree of Life in the Land of Promise. And yet to gain the Otherworldly Hallows, the Seeker must travel the physical world, for it is only that the Seeker travels light, humbly and in a guise which will attract least attention to his quest. The Seeker, like the Fool and the poorman, despised and overlooked, can go everywhere. So it is with our own quest. It is better to travel without the weight of fixed ideas; only so can the free flow of our destiny be unwound. Those who explore the inner worlds cannot retain their preconceived ideas of themselves: dignity and self-esteem must be left at home, for this is a journey which will change us. The Seeker can ask questions and weigh answers, free to juxtapose whatever ideas come his or her way.And this is the rainbow path, the way of experience upon which the Seeker learns how to heal what is broken, balnce what is imbalanced, align what is out of alignment.

Archetypal Meanings:

The Seeker represents all who go on a spiritual quest as well as those who seek for the healing of the Wasteland. He is the wise fool who embarks on his quest without a thought ofr the consequences or those left behind, for this inner journey can only be undertaken singly. His wisdom is to unconsciously follow the path to the Grail and the healing of Logres.
