The Fool kneels on a promontory in awe of a vision of the Holy Grail. He is surrounded by a storm swept, dark landscape, dressed in the brown robes of a pilgrim, a staff upraised in his hand and a white flower and red feather in his hat. An angel stands behind him, Her hand on his shoulder. She has led him to and granted him this Divine vision. A black cat appears to play at his feet, perhaps captivated by the birds swooping near the promontory. The card also contains the number 0, the upward pointing triangle with a horizontal line through its center (symbol for Air), the Hebrew letter Aleph, and a symbol possibly representing either the astrological sign for Taurus or the ox (a symbol associated with this card). A drawing of the Kabalistic Tree of Life may be found in the lower right hand corner of the card.

This card is a reminder that the fulfillment of each vision or desire is the beginning of yet another journey, and also that we need not travel alone. By embodying innocence and faith we will be guided safely through darkness and peril, but to do this requires relinquishing control and allowing the Divine to grant us insight.

From the LWB:

"The Fool is represented by a young man. He kneels in awe at the sight of the Grail. An angel guides him on his way. A black cat instinctively senses danger, in contrast to the Fool, who is fearless.

Divinatory Meaning: Having trust in life. New beginnings. Faith. Optimism. Always follow your own instinctive nature."
