Tarot and the Fool
What does the Tarot Fool signify? And what did it signify when the Tarot was created during the Italian Renaissance?
This video examines early examples of the Fool that show that the Fool was in some cases a poor and miserable vagrant, but in other cases the Fool was an allegory for vanity, thoughtless opinion, arrogance, and self-importance. The Fool could also be a popular street entertainer, or jester to a royal court.
The relationship between the Fool, the Hanged Man and the Hermit is explored. There is also some weirdly important stuff about dogs, cats, tigers and leopards.
