THE FOOL

The Tarot deck is a pack of colorful picture cards. The pictures are symbols — universal symbols which are based on common human experiences. Since its inception in ancient egypt, the Tarot has transcended state boundaries, language and religion. It is a part of the folklore of all cultures, for through an understanding of the Tarot cards is found the key to the Wisdom of the Ages.

The Fool at Zero in the Tarot deck refers to that “foolishness of God which is wiser than man”. There is an inherent awareness in the principles of nature which far transcends the limits of human wisdom. The Fool at Zero is the point at which all things proceed. Through man’s own evolution we have come to a spiritual awakening that makes us not only aware of the science and technology at our disposal but the ability and innate wisdom to use them through creative energy and beauty for a brotherhood of light through universal love. THE FOOL is color, design and rhythm in a whirling, wheeling motion. THE FOOL symbolizes the warm, colorful creative energy of universal cultural activities.
