If you are at all familiar with the Tarot, The Fool is less pertaining to foolishness and more pertaining to a fresh start. A protagonist wading through the great mysteries of life and meeting the great archetypes along the way (aka a Fool's Journey).
When I began reading Tarot, I had a hard time remembering all of cards' meaning. Who doesn't? My solution was to parallel the cards to a story. My own story (grossly flavored by fiction). Each card acts as a page into my Fool's Journey.
