Divination: Major Arcana 6 - the Lovers

This week's card is the Lovers. It comes from the Old English Tarot. The artist is Maggie Kneen. The iconography of the card falls along the industry standard decks. The Lovers is one of the most sought cards in a reading about relationships because it is the penultimate card of love and relationships.  In the direct orientation, the Lovers speaks of a relationship that is secure and filled with mutual affection. In the reversed orientation, the Lovers warns of conflict in matters of love and problems with jealousy.

In the Fool's Journey, the Lovers represents where the Fool makes the first of their decisions. The choice here is between two equally lovely paths involving equally fascinating and lovely individuals. The Fool's intuition as represented by the angel above encourages them to follow one path despite the call of the second.
