Random Archetype Insights

[Unbound]

Why does will denote finality? The will is a dynamic force, so I cannot conceive finality as being part of its nature. Finality is connected to decision, the making of the choice. However, I do not believe the fool is actually capable of making that choice, the decision, but rather represents the actual state of having choices, whereas the other archetypes are called upon when the actual decisions are made. This is also why the fool is often depicted as one who is on a journey or wandering, imo. The fool could carry a sword, perhaps, to denote willingness to grasp the will, but as such would not have much skill in wielding it, it would need to be in a passive mode. The fool is a fool, and likely such apparently wise insight as to future possibilities would be overshadowed by complete faith, so it remains in my thoughts as unnecessary or controlling as it denotes a preset response to catalyst which would bias the pure nature of choice which the fool represents.

Sure, by all means you could do the same with all the cards and you may learn something, but that depends what you are trying to learn.
