The Lovers, card numbered 6 in the Major Arcana, is a card that represents Love and Harmony. It is a card that often refers to relationships/partnerships other than familial, but also about values allignemnt and (good) choices. In usual depictions of the card, we see a naked couple - presumably Adam and Eve - sitting in an orchard. An angel is watching over them. On the man's side we see a yellowed tree. On the woman's side there is an apple tree with a snake in it. The scene quite clearly depicts the Garden of Eden. This deck, once again, chooses to depict the traditional card in a different way. We still see the angel, but rather than being a watcher, an observer, the angel seems to play a role, that of Cupid. Instead of seeing a man and a woman, as usual, we see a man and 2 women, who are holing hands. It is hard to tell whether the man has the role of an officiator or if he is trying to chose between the two. What is interesting to see, however, is that the man and the angel are both looking (aiming) at the same person, the one in the right side of the card. In the background, we see the Sun. (Note: I have not once mistaken the Sun card for the Lovers card, which I will touch upon when I will be talking about the Sun). Its Reverse aspects are usually the opposites of the Upright meaning - imbalance, misaligned values, disharmony. It can, however, also signify self love, which can make it rather tricky to interpret. #tarot #thelovers #witch #TarotTuesday #witchy #divination #thelabyrinthoftarot #witchcraft #majorarcana #tarotdeck #tarotdecks #witchlings.journal https://www.instagram.com/p/CWon9IlNkuV/?utm_medium=tumblr
