The Fool: Trusting What Comes Next

Sometimes the next chapter begins before we understand where it’s taking us.This week marks the end of one version of It’s Giving Mystical—and the beginning of something new.As I prepare to shift away from our traditional weekly tarot readings and begin walking through the Tarot card by card, I pulled one final card for the road we’ve been traveling together.First, The Sun jumped from the deck.And then, after thinking that the only sign more ridiculously perfect would be The Fool…I pulled The Fool.Of course I did.So this week, we’re talking about what happens when life begins pressurizing us toward change before our conscious minds understand what that change is asking of us.We talk about The Fool, divine protection, following wonder instead of certainty, the strange intelligence of instinct—and the possibility that you do not need to know where the road leads in order to take the next step.I also share a story about reclaiming my mother’s old room as a healing and creative space, repairing its cracked mirrors with gold, and finding a long-lost kintsugi kit she gave me years ago exactly where I needed it to be.Maybe the cracks aren’t asking to disappear.Maybe they’re becoming part of the beauty.And maybe the path ahead isn’t asking you to figure it out.Maybe it’s asking you to follow the sun.In this episode:Why It’s Giving Mystical is changingThe pressure that can precede a new chapterThe Sun + The Fool and an extraordinary tarot synchronicityWhy The Fool asks us to move without knowingTrusting instinct when the conscious mind can’t make sense of thingsKintsugi, cracked mirrors, grief and making something beautiful from what has been brokenFollowing wonder, awe and the “destiny winds”Giving your mind permission to catch up with what your heart already knowsNext week, we begin with my Tarot 101—how I think about the cards, how I approach a tarot practice, and the philosophy that will guide us as we begin our new journey through the deck.Then: we walk.One card at a time. 🤍
