This Fool is
inspired by the Pueblo Indian sacred clown Koshare. He wears the mask of
Coyote, the trickster. He represents a playful way to look at a situation. The
Fool makes a shadow puppet scene of danger. The message is to look beyond our
fears to see what really lies behind it. The path leads towards the full moon,
which symbolizes the cyclical nature of life. The boat represents a journey
into the mystery. The fool’s knapsack lays open in front of him, what will he
take with him? The aspen stick with eyes symbolizes the wisdom gained on his
journey.
Meaning: Whenever we
begin a new endeavor or journey in life we have no idea of the actual outcome.
The Fool is here to tell you to trust the journey, to realize our fears are
fantasies and to enter the mystery with a playful sense of adventure.
