0 or 22 (XXII) Fool Deep dive




"I will be." 

What stands out

Rider Waite Smith (RWS): white, sun, yellow background, dalliance, dog, cliff, mountains, unknown, off the cliff

Thoth (TH): green and gold, circular loops and hoops, tiger

Tabula Mundi (TaM): fire, water, circular, dizzy, snake, tiger, green, stars, non top, tattoos

Dalí (D): lost and looking around, closed butterfly wings, an unknown figure, horse, butterflies flying away, back turned

Goddess (Go): back turned, mountains, green fields, looking over shoulder, looking around

Key concepts

light step, dalliance, fearless to unknown, full of though and possibility, the flesh, eternal folly, 

something out of nothing, creative light,  supreme entity of every age and culture, innocence, unadulterated,

neither day nor night, pregnant with possibility, all elements yet the abyss

Personal conclusion

vortex opens portal, all is possible, crossing the veil, take heed, new journeys, all possibilities are ready, always and already free, spirit in search of experience

How would surrounding cards stain the fool's innocent folly?

In context with six cards

The Fool follies in innocence at the beginning of a journey. There may be inner searching ahead with the cautions of: narcissism (Q of Cups), low self - esteem (5 of Swords), other's words or ego (8 of swords), and tireless efforts (7 of Swords). Beauty of life and love will light the way on the journey seeking knowledge and experience.

Tabula Mundi by M.M. Meleen

 The knight of cups brings artistic inspiration and receptivity to divine well. There is a tendency to the amiable passivity of indolence and yet there can be the transcendental happiness and emotional fulfillment that comes from creative impulse being followed. If that inner spark is not nurtured and he loses heart, futility is the result. As a person, creative and inspired, graceful and pure, soft and receptive; passive unless enthusiastically roused. It will dignified he is overly sensitive shallow stagnant routing or apathetic and lazy   


Four of disks material wealth and guarding. The stability of material wealth is powerful but limiting and that it requires constant vigilance. One is firmly established materially and invested with authority and power, there is a risk of covetousness.

Tabula Mundi: Daily 3 card draw (Knight/Prince of Disks/Pentacles, XV The Devil, 9 of Disks/Pentacles)

Tabula Mundi by M.M. Meleen

Knight of Disks: The knight of disks brings a coming focus on prudence, shepherding something material towards a state of gain. This takes intelligence and attention to detail. It takes time for these material creations to develop. It is not a time for the heroism of valor; it is a time to experience procreative powers and patient cultivation. As a person he’s a hard-working, taking great care with his projects and not rushing them along. He is diligent, but not particularly prone to courageous action. If ill dignified, he is dull, plodding and materialistic. 


The Devil: here is the blind impulse towards as yet and lived potential. This is irrepressible craving. Gods suppressed become devils. Awaken, and acknowledge the shadow within to master manifest form.


Nine of disks: Time to count your blessings, as luck is with you and the sweet harvest comes in. 


Bees are small critters engaged in diligent behavior. 


Wheat symbolizes harvest and prosperity 


9 being the highest number we can count on our hands, symbolizes, finalization and fruition.

Tabula Mundi: Daily 3 card draw (Queen of Swords, XV The Devil, 5 of Disks)

Tabula Mundi by M.M. Meleen

Queen of Swords: The queen of swords brings intuition, clarity, and perception of patterns. She cuts away Illusions and liberates the mind. Compromise and mental flexibility bring her peace, but experiencing isolation in the sorrow of solitude she can also be enlightened. Her highest way is not that of the fait accompli that solitthe powers of Wealth can confer, for on that path she becomes tyrannical and dictatorial, losing the timeless perspective the dance gives as she constantly weighs and balances truth against false logic. 


As a person, she is perceptive and graceful, intelligent and discriminating. She has freed her mind through self-determination. If ill dignified she can be cold and cruel, micromanaging, superficial, severe and stubborn, using her considerable attractiveness in a deceitful way.


The Devil: here is the blind impulse towards as yet and lived potential. This is irrepressible craving. Gods suppressed become devils. Awaken, and acknowledge the shadow within to master manifest form.


Five of Disks: The broken record, the padlock. Nail versus key. Resolve to use intelligence to stop the replay of material mental anxieties.

The Priestess initiates you to the higher mysteries, revealing the holy of holies. She offers the scroll of wisdom, and a glimpse beneath the veil. Be receptive to her feminine guidance. The mists part and secrets are revealed. The Eternal makes a connection, and the unconscious contacts consciousness. The lunar forces surround you; the light of the Moon conceals by its brilliance. Avoid becoming moonstruck; flow with fluctuation.  


The Empress Let yourself be penetrated. Let yourself be fertile. There is honey in the heart. Power of the mother is to create and to love with devotion. Does not seek to order as nature is beautiful and chaotic. Beware dormancy and self indulgence. 


Eight of Swords the battle of Sol and Luna. Separatio. The Will is inferred with in the realm of intellectual contest; there is indecision and obfuscation.

Tabula Mundi by M.M. Meleen

The ultimate fruition of the will, possibility for one’s potential and renewal of a cycle. Pregnant with possibility. Kind, generous, steady and industrious, womanly and sensual. 



Set your course for the stars and through the journey discover the beauty of the inventive intellect. 



The prince of discs brings the forces of reason apply to the increase of matter. With great energy and fortitude, he brings thoughts towards fruition. By applying the positive nature of worry over material troubles, he strives to perfect and improve things, and with perseverance and adaptability, he ultimately brings the abundance of material success. Reaching completion undermines his gift, which is to continually strive towards improvement. As a person, he is competent and capable, responsible and steadfast, hard-working and predictable. The seemingly somewhat plotting and dull, his intellect is strong and adaptable. Like a bull in the ring, he is slow to anger but violent and wrath for once stirred. If he’ll dignified he can be insensitive and lacking in empathy, selfish, stubborn, and greedy, and making little effort beyond his scope. His shadow card is the four of wands, completion. The sense of perfection and completion, however positive a conclusion, would undermine his strength. It is his mental anxiety that leads him to continuously apply his thoughts towards making improvements, which bring some success.

Roots or foundation; Past experiences or events

Five of wands

Past influences on the present situation

Seven of cups

Objectives, aspirations, or external influences that need to be considered

Art

Most likely outcome if the path doesn’t change

The Magus


Eight of disks: the lantern, the nesting, the festival of Diwali. Guard the nest, warm the eggs and create fruitfulness through intelligence, diligence, and prudent cultivation. Workbench constructing materials. Just about to bear fruit. Patient cultivation. The secret seed of life and here we see a nest with eight eggs that have been fertilized and are now being Warmed by a lantern that lights ones path and is also the spark of life.


Five of wands: volcano, Cross and sickle. Pressure builds and seeks release. Volcanoes are symbols of fire and earth, with great and severe strength. Volcano fire lurks beneath the surface of the earth, continually building up pressure until it explodes into manifestation. Holding fire and passion too tightly eventually leads to cataclysmic explosion; there’s also no need to let off steam.


Seven of cups: here is the illusion of intoxication; false lights that lead astray. The will-o’-the-wisp can lead you astray on your path. And from the cups, rise verse ephemeral embryonic forms. The Willowisp is an atmospheric ghost light seen of her bugs and swamps. It translates to “foolish fire“. Also called orbs or ghost lights. 


Art: unify and synthesize opposites. Temper with fire and water, dissolve and bind in the proper measure. The art of alchemy is to engender successful transmutation. This is the card of Sagittarius, the Archer, located on the middle pillar joining the stations of the sun and the moon. Artemis releases the solar arrow with the lunar bow through the middle pillar. Together the fire and water, the sun in the moon, combining the Orphic egg, becoming each other and bringing my fourth, and in the crucible, the “womb preserving life,“ they combine forming rainbows. This is the daughter of the reconcilers, the bringer forth of life.


The Magus: as above, so below. Magus, listen to the music of the spears. There’s a message for you if you can decipher it. Bring the above to the below, and manifest your idea. Open your mind-the divine consciousness has a transmission. Translate the message and build a house of form. All the elements are at your fingertips. Create freely and manifest your will. Beware deception or misinterpretation.

Love, nurturing, abundance, and fecundity. It is a time of intuition, prophecy, and dreams. If the inner world is divided, there can be disharmony and the disruption of ruin. But such is a foreign to her nature. As a person, she is imaginative and feminine, guided by her own depths.
