The Fool reversed
Reversed, The Fool warns of leaping without looking, or the opposite: being so afraid of getting it wrong that you never start. Ask whether you need more planning or simply more nerve.
The Wispling take: New beginnings · Leaps of faith · Spontaneity
Our little ghost has packed a bindle full of snacks and is floating straight off the edge of the known map, with a very excited bat for company. Scary? A bit. Exciting? Absolutely. The Fool reminds you that every great adventure starts with one slightly silly step.
