The 22 cards of the Major Arcana depict the journey of the Fool. A lot of thought went into the creation of each card, and the more you study the images, the more you notice hidden symbolism, meaning and connections between cards.So, what do the following cards (The Fool, Death and The Sun) have in common?
1. The red feather. The Fool must descent into the underworld (Death) in order to return into the light (Sun). The feather indicates spirit, power, high aspirations. What else could the red feather symbolise? What does it mean to you?
2. The changing colour of the sun.The white sun in the Fool card symbolises innocence; in the Death card it's blackening due to the transformational (alchemical) process, and the golden colour in the Sun card suggests wisdom and enlightenment. Again, explore your own ideas.
