In many tarot decks, the Fool card generally shows a youth happily beginning his life’s journey. He holds all his possessions on a stick and is oblivious that he is about to walk off of a cliff. He’s so intoxicated with his upcoming adventures and dreams that he doesn’t notice the warning of his canine companion as it barks out a warning. In this card, the Fool is represented by the Toucan and the Crocodile is the cliff. The Toucan needs no extraneous possessions because he already has everything he needs – except, that he is so captivated by this new Crocodile encounter that he explores it without thought of possible consequences. As in the traditional card, the companion dog attempts to warn the Toucan of the danger while still staying out of reach of the Crocodile’s jaws. Will the sun in the upper corner of the card, in this case representing the instincts of both the Crocodile and the Toucan, shine on one or both? Attached Image (viewed 102 times):
