I like this image -A LOT! As the replacement for the Empress, the young man helping a little girl- possibly his daughter- down from a tree is quite convincing. When I first viewed it I thought that some people would have a mental problem with this image - a gay man with children - which is becoming more frequent than you may suspect. A lot of young men father children because of peer pressure to 'prove they are manly enough' or because they deny to themselves that they 'might' be gay. Unfortunately, paternity is not a certificate of heterosexuality. That aside - this card has to be differentiated from the inevitable Emperor which is next, so using an older man with children would get kind of confusing! It could be mistaken for the traditional ten of pentacles card!
LWB:"nurturing others is good practice for nurturing oneself." All too true! In this society where even modern gay youth are still brought up to loath themselves or their sexuality - this comment is refreshing.
