    Re: Tarot and occultism, the fool is the symbol of one unguided by esoteric knowledge (the knowledge the particular teacher wishes to pass on). He is the primordial material of the human spirit before the application of reason and divine law. Thus he is Arcanum zero, and begins the process of spiritual transformation ("Alchemy") at stage 1, as the magician, who initiates himself into the process. This is similar to the roles of Mercury and Thoth in their traditions (hence, "mercurial", always changing). So he is the card of transformation, and I suspect that's why he became the "extra" card that can substitute for any other the owner of the deck might lose. Since this is similar to the function of a court jester (tricking and pretending), and since the face cards became symbolic of a royal court, a court jester seems fitting. To be honest I'm not sure which role came first, but he was clearly syncretised across play and divination decks at some point.

    In the viking tarot, the joker/fool is symbolized by Loke, and the fool in the tarot is always the number 0, just like the joker in the ordinary deck of cards.

    I bet joker was intially just an additional card in deck which later was given a form of the fool from tarok card games. So history kind of made a circle.

      That seems like a very plausible theory. Thanks for watching!

    Can you make a video on the Rhetorical Appeals of the suits? Most people don't seem to understand the truth of the Greek gods they actually represent. Logos is the most confusing one, because most people say he's "god" or "Jesus" because of how ignorant people are about it's translations and references to the trickster titan Prometheus.
    I'm also confused if the king of hearts is supposed to be Zeus or Jesus. I've even gotten through the other 4 pips of the impulse factors (Info Bullets of Phobos, Trump Stars of Eros, Aloof Shield of Himeros, Hast Arrows of Demos) and cognitive mechanics research (16 personalities theories) and still come up with more questions.

    Hmmm. I've read the Fawkes and Gpowder Plotters opposed King James I policies on religion and not the card tax.

    • @Play-In-Games

      While there is no known Guy Fawkes opinion on the card tax specifically, there are absolutely many records of his distain for Jeme’s taxes, especially the Recusancy fines. It’s even mentioned in his court documents. His co-conspirator Thomas Winter wrote about it as well in his “Confessions.” As mentioned in the video Fawkes hated Jame’s taxes and that is well documented. You are correct that there is not direct connection to the card tax, which is why I said he hated “his taxes” not the card tax specifically. Sorry if you found that misleading but I think it helps explain why he became a folk hero for later British tax opponents. Thanks for the astute comment to help dig deeper into the history!

    The Joker is God. And the other Joker is also God. The Most High Joker created the second most high Joker as her reflection in the mirror, but gave the mirror version the ability to deviate in behavior, because that's what she chose to do. Now, zip it.
