...what are we to make of the fact that the VMs rainbows are vacant?
I think it's consistent with the humanist movement to remove the deity from the vehicle. Maybe that's why Temperence is there with the red rainbow, she's the designated driver, but with the ancient Greek concept of an ideal of excellence of character and soundness of mind, which when combined in one well-balanced individual leads to other qualities, such as temperance, moderation, prudence, purity, and self-control
If you remove the deities completely from the rainbows, the red (martyrdom) also gets removed and then they're just peaceful rainbows that nobody needs to ride. Or possibly we are looking at them with rose coloured glasses so we can't see the red, but that can be debated peacefully.
Maybe it's a hint at the movement to which our scribe belongs?
