Another good example of The Fool:



               The Fool: Little Red Riding Hood

In Little Red Riding Hood (as the Fool card) the Wolf represents the shadow: our wild untamed nature. It is “the devouring” and has the ability to keep us in the dark, but it can also serve to help us become more aware of ourselves.


Being the Fool and all the tricksters along the way…


I thought I was following the path, aligned with floral sanguinity when suddenly the big bad wolf emerged. And this wolf was not good. He was ravenous and potentially harmful. I did not see the indiscretions that lurked just beyond the shadows, but rather continued along my merry way assuming that all was right with the world. Once again, I’m reminded that the path does have the occasional beast, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting. But do you know what? Despite these unexpected trials, I find myself looking down the path with the same optimism that has always possessed me. Instead of allowing shadows to overwhelm and obscure my journey, I’m able to decipher the good that lay beyond the immediacy of adversity. I’m able to see that it is the monsters along the way that help us to become more creative and defiant travelers. And at the end of momentary darkness and emotional paralyses, I am able to see the light and how important it is to never relinquish the innocence that is our adventurous spirit. If we allow ourselves to lose hope when the shadows grow large upon us, we will be swallowed up by darkness. And in order to proceed down the path of growth and self-awareness, we must try to discern the light. I believe in the light, the good. And by believing in those things, I can create my own illumination as I proceed forward on this journey that is called life.

The tarot mosaics in the Chateau de Avenieres at Cruseilles in France







This monument is one of the hidden treasures of tarot art.

Now that I have to see!

Hope that everyone is well and happy. Have we stopped the main tarot thread btw? Sorry not to have been around for a bit - life gets a bit hectic sometimes. I'm all for peace and quiet (and when that gets too dull an hour or so of the Dead Kennedys helps!).

Hey, e-pipeman 

Great to see you in here again. I pm'd you while ago about this new thread wanting you to post your poems here. The old one had to be moved to trash bin because Kate destroyed it during her last espoide more than a month ago so when Kate came back she tried to fix, but couldn't so we decided to start over.

Enjoy!

Many hugs from me
