i understand and agree with your words. i have gotten into tarot cards because i was looking for some way to communicate with my spirit guides. i kept pulling the "fool" card in respect of who i used to be in the past. i did a google search of this card to learn a little more and this story came up:

a monk was out walking in ancient japan. he encounters a wild cat, and as he is fleeing, slips over a cliff, but manages to grab hold of a gnarled root at the edge of the cliff. he looks down, and sees sharp broken rocks below. he looks up and sees the wild cat, snarling at him.

as he looks around, he also sees beside him a bush with a single bright, succulent berry on it.

he looks up, then down again.

he plucks the berry, and pops it in his mouth.

how sweet it tastes! the "fool" card is said to be the beginning and the end. card 0 and card 22. so it is as if we go through all the phases of life only to arrive back where we began.

sounds rather "foolish", doesn't it? like a dog chasing it's tail.
