The Fall

- meaning of Symbolon card and archetype -

Themes:
betrayal in the royal court (ego kingdom), collapse, reversal, fall of the ego, loss of power, infidelity
Interpretation of the card:
The Jester (Fool) has dethroned the king and now sits in his place. Not in the king's usual seat, as that would only create a new ego. Instead, he balances on the armrest with a grin, knowing that's where kings are often pushed away from. A fool would never dream of sitting on the throne, he leaves that to the king. He holds a mirror to the deposed king's stunned face, as if to say, "Look at yourself, what a fool you are!" On the right side of the image, a small bird rises into the air, symbolizing the hope that one day the king will transform into a great, colorful bird of freedom.
