#0 The Fool
Inspired by Donnaleigh de LaRose’s post “The High Priestess’ Scroll – What’s In There?”, I decided to ask the cards, “What’s in the Fool’s Satchel?”
Was I ever in for a surprise. For some reason I thought he’d be carrying around fun stuff. But no. At least not on this trip.
5 of Swords
Using the RWS, I pulled four cards.
The first I got was the 5 of Swords. This is about conflict. Winning the battle, but losing the war.
Defeat is the key word on the Thoth Tarot’s version. A defeat that comes from forcing your way, leaving no options but yes or no.
3 of Swords
Next was the 3 of Swords. Sorrow. This is one of the most painful cards in the deck. It’s deep sadness, carried in the heart and too often in silence.
After that came #13, Death. What’s there to say here except that the Fool carries one scary satchel!
#13 - Death
The final card I drew was the 8 of Disks. There’s nothing overtly disturbing about this card. In fact it can sometimes be quite pleasant.
Given what else was in the bag, however, I can’t help but read it as tedium.
It’s the work you have to do but really don’t want to. A reminder that nothing good comes without some effort.
8 of Disks
Why would the Fool carry these things around? He’s such a lighthearted guy and has such a small bag. Why fill it with the hard stuff?
Maybe part of the answer lies in what’s in his other hand. It’s a white flower, symbol of purity, openness, unsullied ideals.
It’s the colour of the dog beside him, free, enthusiastic and running on instinct.
He holds the flower playfully with his fingers, touching it directly. These energies are how he expresses himself to the outside world.
The dark stuff is hidden in a bag at the end of a pole, slung over the side we don’t see. It’s in the deep recesses of his subconscious, not even connected directly to him.
What’s in the satchel balances out the flower, could be its shadow. Notice that the bag and the flower are both directly below the sun.
I was surprised by what the Fool carries around, but with some reflection it makes a lot of sense. The seed of all things is part of what he stands for.
Though innocence, openness and the ideal are at the forefront, conflict, pain and tedium are part of life as well.
On a more positive note, you could also think of the Fool’s satchel as a medicine bag. He’s carrying around a bit of the bad stuff in case he needs it as an antidote.
Either way, now that I’ve taken a peek inside, I’m thinking it’s probably best to just keep this satchel closed.

Robert Swiryn
It’s a brand new year and Beyond Worlds is ready to get thing started.
Our first guest of 2011 is Robert Swiryn, author of The Secret Tarot: How the Story of the Cathars was Concealed in the Tarot of Marseilles.
Swiryn’s book looks at the background of the Cathars and the rapidly changing medieval world they inhabited, focusing especially on the political and religious powers of the time. What’s most unique about Swiryn’s work though, is how he’s placed the Tarot of Marseille within this historical context.
Secret of the Tarot
Swiryn believes that the Marseille Tarot provides a visual account of the personalities, events and spiritual ideals of the Cathar faithful. In his view, the cards not only store the religious philosophy, but the political history of this heretical Christian sect as well.
It’s going to be a fascinating discussion. Don’t miss it!! Join us live in the chatroom or call in (646)-200-0765.

Beyond Worlds - Tarosophist of the Year 2010
What an incredible honour!! Beyond Worlds has been voted Tarosophist of the Year by the highly esteemed international Tarot association, Tarot Professionals.
Marcus Katz, founder of both Tarot Professionals and the fabulous Tarot Town wrote in the award release:
“Donnaleigh, Storm, Theresa and Georgianna have consistently produced an educational, wide-ranging, contemporary, relevant, fun, accessible, professional and well-produced online radio show for Tarot. Their guests have included Lon Milo Duquette, Rachel Pollack, Mary K. Greer, and I personally discovered how friendly and professional they were as hosts when I appeared on the show during the year.
Donnaleigh’s infectious enthusiasm and courteous questioning gets the best out of every guest, supported by Storm’s sharp wit, Theresa’s no-nonsense approach and Georgianna’s down-to-earth authenticity. As a group, they are the ideal ‘four suits’ of a full deck and demonstrate the diverse heart of the Tarot.”
I’m blown away. And so very grateful to Marcus and Tarot Professionals. And of course, to all of our listeners. It truly would be pointless without you.
My co-hosts Donnaleigh de LaRose, Storm Cestavani and Theresa Reed are three of the best Tarot readers I’ve ever met, not to mention very excellent people. I feel blessed to be on this Tarot adventure with them.
Thank you all! And thank you to the cards.
