As any Fool knows, all enterprises and/or adventures require a beginning, and the first six Major Arcana cards depict all the things that can happen whenever we start anything new. Whether it's the spontaneity of the Fool or the constraint of the Hierophant, though, the lesson of each card will be what you make of it.
At lastit's time to set off on the life path of the cards themselves! First Lady Hillary Clinton wrote that it takes a village to raise a child. In this chapter, we'll learn about the Major Arcana cards that nurture and guide the Fool in those crucial early years of childhood development.
