Celebrating The Fool

For any tarot deck artist, going back to the very beginnings, The Fool is one of the more enjoyable cards to design.

They are depicted every way imaginable, handsome to hideous, destitute to royal, evil to holy, troublemaking to playful, everything you can imagine.

In honour of April 1st, and the whole month of April really, I'd like to invite everyone to share their favourite fools!

I recently acquired the deck "The Wise Fool", and the artist, Cade Burkhammer did an unusual thing in that in addition to the Major Arcana Fool, Number 0, he also included one for each of the 4 suits.

It's one of those things that once you see it, it seems so obvious, you can't believe no one thought of it before!
Each extra fool has a little bit of the spirit of his suit. here they all are:
Zero: The Major Arcana Fool
Zero: The Major Arcana Fool
The Fool of Wands
The Fool of Wands
The Fool of Cups
The Fool of Cups
The Fool of Disks
The Fool of Disks
The Fool of Swords
The Fool of Swords

Oh I LOVE favorites threads! I have many favorite fools cards but I'll list the one I currently have online for starters. Should I go through my decks anytime soon I'll add more. This Fool is from the Healing Tarot. Such a foolish little boy! :twisted:
