Step 0 · The Fool

The Fool is the radiant zero, pure spirit setting out on its travels through the world, weightless with trust and brimming with unwritten possibility. He is the leap before the path appears, the divine breath of beginning that holds every journey yet to be lived.

The Fool is the protagonist of the entire sequence, the soul itself numbered zero, who steps off the cliff to walk through all twenty-one trumps. His journey begins here, at the first emanation, before the Magician hands him the tools to shape his world.
