This pin set features original art of The Fool card from The OK Tarot: The Simple Deck for Everyone, my own take on the tarot that leaves individual interpretation up to you.
The Fool is a sort of bookend to the major arcana that’s regarded as both #0 and #22 in the tarot. Before learning about the tarot, I didn’t really understand what this card was about. As I learned, I understood that The Fool is each of us, embarking on a journey through life as told through the cards. My own interpretation borrows a dunce cap—the classic uniform/punishment for idiots—and reimagines what ignorance can actually be. In my own life, I find that a certain amount of ignorance can be the key to self-preservation. We are inundated with information at a volume that can be debilitating. Sometimes I find that not-knowing everything can be the only way to get up in the morning. – ADAM J. KURTZ
The flower represents an admiration of beauty in the world, a foolish pursuit if it’s all one looks for, but also a wonderful quality. Stopping to smell the roses and appreciate the small things is one of the surest ways to find happiness in life.
