Dionysos, the Fool, augurs the advent of a new chapter of life when he appears in a spread. A risk of some kind is required, a willingness to jump out into the unknown. The Fool is ambiguous just as Dionysos is, for we cannot know whether we will enter the Fool’s perception of the divine or end up merely looking foolish. In this way, amidst ambiguity and excitement and fear, begins the great journey of life portrayed by the Major Arcana of the Tarot. (20)
