Let it go and be The Fool!

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom. The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time. The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what if’s! The Fool is in the moment!

Embracing who you are

Sit with every version of yourself. Find the lessons you need. The “good” and “bad” work as one! Be okay with those icky feelings and thoughts! They make you…you!

Letting yourself have fun, and taking up space

Do you ever punish yourself for some unknown reason, filled with an inexplicable feeling of guilt? What if you just convinced yourself that that was fake, because most likely, it is !!!! And wow I just decided I’m cool and nice and pleasant to be around and suddenly I feel like singing and dancing and acting like the goofball I have always been and was meant to be

Welcome realness, welcome artifice

Be whatever you feel. Perform. Don't perform. Mask. Don't mask. Pretend. Love. Be still. Do nothing. Exist exactly how you want to. If you are hurting nobody, there is no wrong. The world is your playground. You are free.
