0 - The Fool
The Fool starts his journey, and he stands full of wonder for what it will hold, showing no fear as he stands close to stepping over a cliff. The Fool is not one for thinking, but acting on impulse, urges & drives is to be brave & just hold our noses & jump. He throws caution to the wind & grabs opportunities, which with The Fool often come out of the blue. An impulsive & exciting energy leading us to take a chance, regardless of the outcome.
Read the first 11 pages of Understanding Tarot, Including The Fool
The Fool nudges us toward ignoring the experience which we lack, and to just jump in or we may never learn or experiences those things we wish to try in life. We gain here by trying and adventuring, not focusing on winning, losing, success or failure, but by letting our desire to create something, experience something lead the way for us even if we have no idea what it may bring us.
The excitement of new possibilities can be within our grasp, and that excitement should not be wasted with this card, as now we need to take a deep breath and jump without a care for where we land.
We have our past experiences to draw on; will they be of use? Who knows, but they are a source to draw from or add to as we act on what motivates us.
If new doors open in front of you out of the blue, those new possibilities should be grasped. Rise to the challenge as The Fool can bring the unexpected into our lives.
The Fool brings a time for us to be mindful, enjoy the moment, and dive into new opportunities without concern for what the future may or may not bring. We are asked to be spontaneous and original.
We should take risks, do the "thing," abandon the old, and welcome the new.
Put your trust in destiny and play.

(Understanding Tarot) This is the best book I have ever bought. I have gotten more deeper meanings, and the symbolism from your book. Readings are now flowing easily.
Robyn Grimshaw
Thank you so much!!! Pam is amazing and I have had multiple readings from her and she has been so accurate in guiding me! And recently I asked about my job situation and she was right on the money!

My book arrived this week. Yes!
The Universal Waite Tarot deck shows Pamela Coleman Smith’s artwork recoloured by Mary Hanson Roberts. The line-art is clean with non-blurry lines and beautifully coloured, of course.
I am house-sitting for my son for two weeks so decided to also buy the ebook from Amazon Kindle. I’ll leave the hardcopy at home so it doesn’t weigh-down my suitcase. It’s a 427 page book, so very thick!
I’ve only read the introduction and The Fool so far. What I like so far, is the way the Fool’s meaning is described in detail, referring to colour, symbols, and zodiac and astrological associations. All important details for me to remember and learn. There is a lot to learn, to enjoy and to gradually remember. I say gradually, as it’s not about memorising but savouring the details. This is not a book with keywords, although there is a “In a nutshell” summation at the end of each long description for the card. The long description (often three pages in length) is followed by two shorter ones (less than one page long) for upright and reversed meanings. In these shorter sections, keywords are in bold-type. It’s far easier to remember them when they’re given in a story-like context rather than as a separate list to memorise.
I can see myself using this book as my primary resource for years!
This began as sharing a photo and ended up as a short review for those who have not yet bought Pam’s book.
My advice is to not hesitate.

Pam is absolutely amazing. Today I received the most precise reading I’ve ever had. The way she described my situation was extremely accurate. Her approach was exactly what I needed, almost like she knew me and understood my communication style. Thank you for sharing your gift! Can’t wait for my next reading!
