My Description of the Fool

A young person - could be male or female, dressed in a white robe, is shapeshifting into, or from a dragon and is rising from the swirling sea. The tail of his gown gives the impression of being a mermaid/merman's tail with a butterfly at its tip giving rise to thoughts of metamorphosis and rebirth. The green dragon is wearing an expression of joy as it seems to be giving birth to this beautiful creature. There is a dragonfly following the butterfly which bears out the excitement of new life and spiritual reincarnation.

Around the neck of the initiate's robe is a snake based on the design of a Celtic torc, the emblem of eternity and he holds in his hand a flaming torch or wand reminding me of the light sabre in Star Wars. '' May the force be with you!'' Cascading from him there are bubbles and flower petals and he holds an apple in his right hand.

My Interpretation

I am reminded of Adam and Eve and the beginning of All that is with this card. The rising up from the sea into the light, making a fresh start and flying off into the unknown with courage and determination to seek new adventures in life.

From the Book - Prophecy

As the initiate, you are learning to control your willpower (wand) in order to accomplish your goals and desire. A new cycle of life and being are before you: use the wisdom of the dragon to determine whether this cycle will be positive or negative. Listen to the messengers (seagulls) that come from the Universal Source for guidance. Remember that all humans live and die through several cycles within each lifetime.
