Blood Spilled
If you're confused by what the Fool is trying to do here, remember what the Minor Arcana can create by spilling their own blood. I'd be interested to hear your philosophical ideas on why the Minor Arcana can create life but the Major Arcana cannot.

I'm thinking the minor arcana has an integral element in their blood that the major is lacking. Merry Christmas to the both of you!

The major arcana are made from a mixture of different families from the minor arcana, right? So perhaps then they are infertile in a similar way to mules?
"Mules and hinnies have 63 chromosomes, a mixture of the horse's 64 and the donkey's 62. The different structure and number usually prevents the chromosomes from pairing up properly and creating successful embryos, rendering most mules infertile. There are no recorded cases of fertile mule stallions." -Wikipedia

I would theorize the reason is because the minor arcana are connected to elements and it was their combinations which resulted in the worlds creation.
Plus, it has been shown that aces who are tecnically the weakest were able to create arcana's with no trouble so power shouldn't make a difference. Though I am kinda curious if they ever tried mixing with other Arcana's to see what happens.
Plus, im sure the fact that they were created from the dreams of the 'afterthought' life that came of the worlds being created in the first place has something to do with it...
