About the Fool: The common puffball goes by many names: the warted puffball, the gem-studded puffball, the devil’s snuff box, and the wolf-fart mushroom. The scientific name of this mushroom’s genus actually derives from the Greek words lycos (wolf) and perdon (to break wind). Though by no means rare (perlatum is Latin for widespread), coming across these mushrooms is always a treat. They’re full of such beauty and youth, even as they age. It isn’t hard to imagine the moment the rain falls upon them… the touch of even the slightest drop enough to propel a cloud of spores into the unknown. This mushroom is a sign that it’s time to stop thinking, act on instinct, and trust in the universe. Begin that project, take that leap, and allow your potential to carry you forward. Keywords: New beginnings, improvisation, opportunity, potential, blind trust in the universe
