Sagas Among the Arcana: The Fool

Welcome to Sagas Among the Arcana! For my fist post of the semester, I’ve decided to observe the first card of every Tarot deck – the Fool.


considering the fool . . .

she is naive, much like a disney princess

I make this observation because look at her!

in both forms, she surrounds herself with animal companions

canines and fish — can she speak to them?

one form in particular lounges like ariel herslef.

 

so this is my stance,

the fool is a disney princess

with uncharted worlds for her to traverse

a society to learn about beyond the boundaries of her own.

 

because the fool is one who starts a jouney

and any good fairy-tale must have a wonderous journey.

(Thank you for joining mine)
