Some cheer some fear some sneer some jeer
But it's truth he tells if you can hear

The Fool is a surprisingly positive character in the Psycards deck.

First and foremost, the Fool is happy. That he is labelled a fool, and dances on his own, does not worry him. The Fool card reminds us that we don't need the permission, or approval of others, to enjoy our own happiness, and sometimes we can be happy by ourselves.

The Fool also reminds us of the most basic type of happiness, the innocent happiness of childhood, unadulterated by the hundreds of urgent obsessions and obligations of adult life. The joy of a bright morning and a beautiful song. The joy of running through fields and leaping into a pond. The joy, sometimes, of being irresponsible: of falling in love with someone unsuitable, or embarking on a risky, but thrilling journey.

The Fool tells us that there is more that is important than simply material things, and we must value and cherish that which has no price.

It is also about confronting truth. Sometimes, the best way to approach a difficult reality is in the spirit of comedy, because it is only through a happy medium that we can face up to the darkest forces in humanity.

And lastly, the Fool is trusting. He trusts in nature and her cycles and worries not about the opinion of his peers.
