The Fool is the first card of every Tarot deck, it marks the start of the journey through the archetypes of the Tarot. The Fool represents stepping into the unknown with a sense of openness and optimism. It's the card of pure potential. It challenges the viewer to leap into new experiences with the innocence and courage of The Fool, who is yet untouched by the lessons of the Tarot.
Most Tarot decks present the Fool as a carefree character stepping off a cliff. This scene shows a figure sitting atop a cliff, staring at green charts, surrounded by vast riches, but are they real? Or imaginary? The Fool archetype corresponds with the energy and excitement of first time crypto market participants, who typically join the market amidst a sea of glowing green god candles and tales of unbelievable fortune. In crypto trading, a “god candle” is a massive green candle in a candlestick trading chart, indicating a rapid and massive rise in the price of a coin. Here this concept is represented with literal green candles. The start of the Fool’s adventure is full of naive optimism. This optimism is tempered, but not lost, along the journey through the archetypes of the Tarot.
