The Inquirer

You are his seed. So stand up high
Who sired you points you to the sky

The Father card reminds us of three, potentially very different things:

The first is our own father. The positive and negative associations that every one of us has here will vary enormously, as we all relate to our fathers differently.

The second is to the idealized model of the father. This encompasses elements around protection, sustenance, authority and love. There are also close links to morality, obedience and rebellion.

The third is the broader notion of the patriarchal society, and in that society, the role of the father of the family, the tribe, the clan, the people that today rule over us - either in business, or in civil society.
