The Fool The Tarot is more than a method for fortune telling. In its highest form, it is the story of our spiritual journey. Tarot cards are symbolic representations of the challenges and choices we face on many levels as we travel on our life path. There are 22 Major Arcana cards in the Tarot deck. These cards are the most important cards and they symbolize the path of the Soul. There are three sections of the Major Arcana - physical, emotional, and spiritual. Each section has seven cards which tell the story of the journey of the Soul as it progresses through these levels. So, if my grade school math still works, three levels times seven cards equals 21. What's the 22nd card? The Fool. The Fool card is the number 0, which represents everything and nothing, the beginning and the end, completeness and emptiness. When a life journey is complete, it comes back to the beginning and starts over again - but this time on another, higher level, spiraling ever upwards.
The Fool always travels with his trusted companion and guide, his dog. The dog encourages the Fool to continue moving forward, travels with him on his journey, supporting and guiding him when it's appropriate.
He is about to take a leap off into the unknown, and he has complete faith that whatever he is about to step into, it will be a grand and joyous adventure. It will offer him many treasures of new experiences, learning, and higher wisdom to further him along his life path. Are you ready to be a Fool and take a trusting step into the unknown?

The
Fool is typically pictured with a satchel or bag of some sort in
which he carries all the knowledge and wisdom that he's gained on
his life journey to this point. 
Typically,
the Fool is pictured as a happy-go-lucky fellow who is about to
step unknowingly off a cliff. His head is up and he is focused on
higher aspects, not on earthly matters. He has no need of looking
at the ground because he knows that his steps are guided
as he continues forward and takes a step into the unknown.
