~ JOURNEY of the FOOL through the WORLD ~

The Fool sets out on his journey. He isn't aware of where he is headed, when he is encountered by the Magician.

He learns mastery of the elements, then difference between the exoteric and esoteric when meeting the High Priestess.

Natural Law is taught by the Empress, physical Law is enforced by the Emperor.

The Hierophant teaches spiritual Law to guide the Fool in his travels, where he is confronted by the Lovers who present him with a choice of paths as there is a fork in the road ahead of him.

Upon making a decision, he rides the Chariot, having to maintain control of his horses to steer it.

A lion stands in the Fool's path, making it necessary for him to dismount to test his Strength by holding open the lion's jaws, as this is the only way he is allowed to move forward.

Immediately, the road rises toward a high mountaintop so he abandons his vehicle and hikes to the summit to meet The Hermit, with Lantern and staff, teaching the difference between external knowledge and internal wisdom, symbolized by the light in the Hermit's lantern.

So, he descends into a lesson on cause and effect presented by the Wheel of Fortune requiring Justice to restore his sense of balance, after which he finds himself in suspended animation as the Hanged Man.

Death visits the Fool at this point, so he submits to it allowing him to release and regenerate for total transformation.

He meets Temperance on the other side who shows him the art of combination and how to achieve alchemical transmutation.

Then, the Devil blocks the Fool's path to cause interference obstructing his progress and separating him from his sense of direction.

He then sees the Tower and attempts to seek refuge inside it, but as he climbs stairs toward the top, it explodes in front of him and necessitates escape as the structure collapses.

Outside, he sees the Star, giving him Inspiration.

Then the Moon rises bringing deception and the Fool becomes lost in reflection, until the Sun rises at dawn renewing his spirit with the Light of Source, which the Fool is able to acknowledge in his heart.

Upon this realization, he faces Judgement and is regenerated through Initiation and is ready to cross the threshold entering the Cosmic Dream in the World through transpersonal synthesis...

I led a procession from the Community Center at Sirius up to the Stone Circle Sanctuary with Lantern, Staff, and Keys as I played the role of Archetypal Hermit, ninth of the Trumps Major in the Universal Waite Tarot. In celebration of the Spring Equinox, whereas equality of Darkness and Light now moves into extended daylight hours leading up to the Summer Solstice, we collectively entered a state of Meditation and each one of us chose a Standing Stone to which our individuated consciousness is drawn. I chose the one nearest to "Merlin's Seat," a stump now buried beneath recent snowfall. The Mt. Monadnock Stone is aligned with region in New Hampshire named for a nearby mountain, that I visited last Fall along US Route 202 on my way up to Strawberry Hill Farm in Wolfeboro for annual Fall Gathering of the OPAL North East Interface, offshoot of the OPAL (One People Absent Limits) Tour from California to North Carolina in 2013. I shared my connection with this stone, as other participants shared their reflections of their particular stone. Upon return to the Community Center, I closed this ceremony with my reading of "The Fool's Journey through The World" prior to our Hearthstone Village Potluck Supper, held every 3rd Wednesday of the month for Members/Residents and visitors in surrounding neighborhoods... ~ JDHWB-R
