Thanks Redfox for initiating this study group. Already I've gotten a lot out of sharing thoughts on this card.
And many thanks to Daizdy, Free Flight and all who shared their personal insights about the card. For me, your personal touch adds real richness to the material in books and articles. Tender and reverential are great words to describe the figure on the card. I don't think personal interpretations can ever be wrong and I hope more people will post their views.
Here are a few more links for those who want to know more about the myth itself or see some ancient images of the myth:
