- 00 - The Fool -
historical
- If we're going by Jung, here, Fool is the Self. And it is
the Self - used to depict how the quesrant is inferior to all the shiny
archtypal arcana cards. Yet the Fool in history was also depicted as
being something of a giant.. empahsising the ever-present Western belief
in the power of the individual.
card
- the Querant. If you're asking the question, then you're obviously
the Fool, since you don't know the answer all by yourself. Or at least
that's how I rationalize it. Since fool is the self it's also one of
the most influential (if not the most) cards in the deck.. which is probably
why it ended up a "special" card in Persona.
fool
meaning - the beginning. The self. Energy and optimism. Many, many
choices - perhaps even seemingly limitless ones. The whole future is ahead
of one starting their journey.
fool
reversed meaning - Recklessness, immaturity, or lack of commitment. Inability
of the Querant to accept responsability for their actions, their duties,
or the consequences of their choices.
persona
wielder - None. Unless you count Jun... which is actually rather
an interesting theory.
(spoilers
walk among us)
Since in
EP Jun starts with and maintains memoryless "blank slate", he represents the
Fool in that the Fool is the beginning and "blank slate" of us all, before
we learn from other archetypes in the deck. Erm... yeah. Except
as Jun has no discernable Persona ability in EP the point is pretty moot. |
