“Do not be afraid; our fate
Cannot be taken from us; it is a gift.”
— Dante Alighieri

The three join to spin, measure and cut a handful of lives that span time and worlds.

The Fool’s Journey is designed by Cheyenne Wall-Grimes and published by Glittercats Fine Amusements. Check out our rules primer here.


The Framing:

We’re assuming the roles of the three fates, Atropos, Lachesis, and Clothos and using the following script for our framing.

One Player: We are the three, sometimes called women, sometimes goddesses, sometimes one who is three, sometimes three who are one. Those who have loved us call us the Graces, those who fear us the Furies. They have called us the Parcae, Matronae, the Norns, the Moirai, the Fates.

1st: The first of us, youngest and oldest, is Clotho – the spinner, who creates the thread from the raw stuffs

2nd: The second of us, the eternal and ever-changing, is Lachesis – the allotter, who measures the thread and tests its strength

3rd: The last of us all, the oldest and the youngest, is Atropos – the unturnable, who cuts the thread and marks the end.

1st: Sisters, we have come to the table to tell a life

Hand each player a suit of cards and place the Major Arcana Aside

2nd: Sisters, we begin as all lives begin, a fool at the start and a death at the end

Place the Death Card to the right and the fool card to the left, shuffle the rest of the arcana

3rd: Sisters, we will take measure of this life and test its integrity

PHASE ONE

1st: Sisters, we can stir the pool before the child emerges. I choose to…


2nd: Sisters, we can adjust the slope of the path before the child steps. I choose to…


3rd: Sisters, we can darken the sky before the child opens their eyes. I choose to…

PHASE TWO.

UNISON: This life is spun, measured, and cut.

The Tarot:

We’re using the Aquarian Tarot from David Palladini
