Tarot for Fools

|

Bob Prophette’s Tarot for Fools is based on the Book Narrenshiff by Sebastian Brant. A book first published in 1497, capturing the many ways we can display our foolishness. In Bob’s Tarot for Fools you are not led on a fool’s journey. You will not meet a Magician or a High Priestess, you will not emerge from the Hermit’s cave to feel you have understood the balance of life. You will not delude yourself by thinking you have understood anything or can really know anything. Instead, you will remain with the humility you were born with.
