22. The Crocodile and the Fool

Created for seekers...

22. The Crocodile and the Fool. This website was created for true seekers. If you have made it this far, you are probably no fool. The seeker pictured on this card goes through life happy-go-lucky, oblivious to the evil snapping at him in the form of the dreaded crocodile, a symbol of evil, the underworld and Satan.

The sky overhead shows that the moon is about to pass in front of the son, in an eclipse. An eclipse blocks the light of sun, symbolizing earthiness blocking out the rays of truth, of light from God. The earthiness of the fool is so all-consuming he cannot even see the path he is on. The hand of Providence may smile on him in his ignorance, but the hand that rules the motions of the stars and places them in their courses, will not let the fool continue his happy-go-lucky meandering unchallenged. The Good Shepherd will gently bring greater possibilities of growth to him. The path, the tarot, will certainly lead him to enlightenment if his spirit is open to hear the silent voice of the one who makes no mistakes.

Otherwise, this fool is headed for quick destruction. No seeker is he.

And how about you? If you gained something from the ancient Egyptian cards, perhaps you would like to learn other ancient secrets from the Land of the Pharaohs.

The journey is not the destination. Seek for meaning...
