Diana
On the Marseilles decks, the Mat / Fou carries his few belongings (probably the Tarot) in a little bag, which is strung to a stick. This stick looks like a spoon.
*Diana waits till everyone has gone to fetch their Marseilles decks and has seen the spoon.*
Everyone back? Okay....
Well, once again it is Kris Hadar who gave me the key to this enigma. I quote him in French (and will translate afterwards):
"Un proverbe du Moyen Age disait de prendre une cueillère avec soi... pour le cas qu'en chemin on rencontre le Diable... afin de manger à sa table sans se brûler les doigts."
"A proverb of the Middle Ages was that one should always carry a spoon, in case one met the Devil on the way... so that one can eat at his table without burning one's fingers."
