This is a beta class and we are all learning together. Be a fool! Have fun. Don’t forget to subscribe to the Youtube channel, so that you do not miss any of the upcoming lessons.

Homework Questions:

1. Name two reasons why the Fool card is numbered with a “non number?”

2. How many cards are there in the Major Arcana?

3. What is the Fool’s Journey a metaphor for?

4. What is the Fool’s knapsack a metaphor for?

5. Name the four elements of the tarot. How are they included on the Fool card?

6. Take the queen quiz under the “Fun” tab at myvirtualtarot.com and tell me which Queen you are. (If you are male, you can take this quiz and it will substitute “King” for “Queen” – this quiz still works for you!) Which queen in the deck is your significator card?

7. Notice the archetypes around you that remind you of the fool. Take screen shots or photos with your phone. I will send you instructions as how to upload these archetypes this week. It’s great to learn from each other!

8. Eliza Dolittle is one example of the Fool and the Fool’s journey. Can you give me another popular culture example of the Fool and the Fool’s journey?

9. If you were reading for a client and the Fool card reversed showed up next to The Empress, can you give me a possible interpretation of what that would mean?

10. If you were reading for a client and the Fool card upright showed up next to the Empress, can you give me that interpretation of what the Fool card in this spread would mean?

11. Extra credit: watch the movie “Wild” and tell me why it reminds you or doesn’t remind you of the Fool’s Journey!
