I think silliness can be a tool, but not the only option. I love the Shakespearean definition of the fool -- the one who can speak truth to the king. I think indirect means works perfectly. And Serach bat Asher -- interesting choice. One of the classes we took at Elat Chayyim was called "A Pageant of Matriarchs." We were lead on a journey by R'Lynn Gottleib and each woman met a matriarch. I met Serach, who I've been working with in Journeys for about six months now. I'll have to take a picture of the mask I made of her in that class and post it. Thanks for bringing this up! Gavrielah,

It seems that accomplishing something through indirect means is the core of the fool - how important to this specific archtype is the use of 'silliness' to do this? I'm really enjoying your posts - thanks!

Of course the archetype of the fool exists in the Tarot -- but it's predominently a male archetype. What we're exploring in Kohenet is the Fool as an archetype of the Female Divine (Goddess) and specifically in a Jewish context. That's what you can't find in the tarot and its commentaries. Never too late to leave a comment, Jack!
