todays fellowship of the fool card is the ELDER:
in most decks this card is the hierophant which is stagnant in many ways tradition for the sake of tradition with no real reason behind it other than bein in a rut, the ELDER steps outside of... this box, he is the teacher or mentor. this is a person who lives his convictions. he has life experience and his beliefs are shaped by that. he pays attention to the details of life knowing that the small things are directly connected to the larger ones. he can be a goody two shoes but he doesn't lord it over you if you don't quite measure up.
the elder has much to teach and share with us all. he holds vast knowledge and is perfectly willing to share that with any who are open and willing to learn. he is the man with a million stories who can prattle on for hours on end and if only you have the willingness to sit at his feet and listen the info you will learn can change your life and your world. be patient and don't rush him because he has his own unique way of doing things and part of that is to slow down and allow yourself to live and not just exist in this rush rush world. if you wear blinders and run through life ignoring those who have gave all to make this world what it is you lose a piece of yourself and the past that you'll never get the opportunity to have again.
this is a very appropriate card for this day of thanksgiving, so remember to pause and pay attention to those silly old relatives and friends you usually merely tolerate or ignore for the past holds the key to the future. if we don't take those life lessons and apply them to the future we're doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over, the elder knows where he's been and where we're going.
oftentimes people are uncomfortable around the elder but that's on them, if you aren't living up to your potential the elder can show you the way but only if you're willing to be open to his lesson and example.
