# THE FOOL The Fool is a card of faith in new beginnings. Carefree and optimistic, the youthful Fool begins his journey into the wide world. The sun shines brightly behind him, reflecting his sunny disposition and the possibilities that lie with a new day. He carries a small pack in one hand and a white rose in the other, exemplifying his innocent nature. He wears a white shirt underneath his tunic, suggesting that at his core, his intentions are pure. The white sun shining over The Fool is thought to represent the light of Kether in Kabbalah, denoting pure enlightenment. The red feather in his cap reflects his passion, while his clothing appears as if chosen more for fashion than practicality. Behind him, mountains warn of challenges to come, although he’s not yet concerned with or acknowledging them. At his heels, a white dog barks, warning him to be aware of his surroundings and possible dangers on the path ahead. ## 키워드 **정방향 (Upright):** Innocence, new beginnings, adventure, daring, transformation, spontaneity, idealism, freedom **역방향 (Reversed):** Naïve, reckless, indecisive, distracted, careless, holding back, afraid of commitments ## BEGINNINGS ### 정방향 (Upright) Now is the time to begin something new!
