The Fool tarot card is sometimes known as the most worthless card, yet also as the most valuable one. It represents both the fledgling beginner and the adept master.

The Fool reminds us of things, sacred things, that we have forgotten or repressed. The Fool knows his or her own ignorance, thus is seen as the most wise.

The Fool represents the Negative space above the Tree of Life, the source of all things. It is the Qabalistic Zero, the Equation of the Universe, the initial and final balance of the opposites, both the father and the mother - male and female.

The Fool is intricately linked with all 21 cards of the Major Arcana - Theorists maintain that the other Major Arcana cards are parts of the Fool's journey of self-discovery, culminating with the Number 21 World Card, bringing successful completion, accomplishment and fulfillment.

The Fool coaxes us to walk our own path, not the path of the "herd". The Fool is the ultimate "Free Spirit" - the self-actualized person, free from societal constraints, someone who is able to let go of outmoded beliefs and ideals with the courage to pursue their own special path.
