    Re: Tarot and occultism, the fool is the symbol of one unguided by esoteric knowledge (the knowledge the particular teacher wishes to pass on). He is the primordial material of the human spirit before the application of reason and divine law. Thus he is Arcanum zero, and begins the process of spiritual transformation ("Alchemy") at stage 1, as the magician, who initiates himself into the process. This is similar to the roles of Mercury and Thoth in their traditions (hence, "mercurial", always changing). So he is the card of transformation, and I suspect that's why he became the "extra" card that can substitute for any other the owner of the deck might lose. Since this is similar to the function of a court jester (tricking and pretending), and since the face cards became symbolic of a royal court, a court jester seems fitting. To be honest I'm not sure which role came first, but he was clearly syncretised across play and divination decks at some point.

    The Joker is God. And the other Joker is also God. The Most High Joker created the second most high Joker as her reflection in the mirror, but gave the mirror version the ability to deviate in behavior, because that's what she chose to do. Now, zip it.

    I bet joker was intially just an additional card in deck which later was given a form of the fool from tarok card games. So history kind of made a circle.

      That seems like a very plausible theory. Thanks for watching!

    Can you make a video on the Rhetorical Appeals of the suits? Most people don't seem to understand the truth of the Greek gods they actually represent. Logos is the most confusing one, because most people say he's "god" or "Jesus" because of how ignorant people are about it's translations and references to the trickster titan Prometheus.
    I'm also confused if the king of hearts is supposed to be Zeus or Jesus. I've even gotten through the other 4 pips of the impulse factors (Info Bullets of Phobos, Trump Stars of Eros, Aloof Shield of Himeros, Hast Arrows of Demos) and cognitive mechanics research (16 personalities theories) and still come up with more questions.
