Interpretation: It is often assumed that The Lovers card simply denotes love and relationship issues. But actually, this is a card about making a difficult choice between two attractive options. Those options are often diametrically opposed. Must one option be chosen over the other or is it possible to reconcile the opposites and thereby choose both? The Lovers card is all about figuring out what your heart truly wants and then following it.
Image: This image is a detail from another epic native-themed painting by H.G. Glyde located at the University of Alberta; however, this one is mercifully free of racism. This mural depicts a loving native couple living in the midst of all the creatures of the wild. Painted in 1952, it is a visual retelling of a traditional Cree legend.

ReplyDeleteWhen you think about it, images are everywhere. How cool of you to notice...
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you how much I'm enjoying this series? Because I am!
ReplyDeleteThat is a tough choice to make. Beautiful image!
ReplyDeleteI imagine the whole mural is gorgeous! And how nice for it not to include any sort of ethnic slant.
ReplyDeleteI am loving how you are seeing the tarot around you! :0)
This interpretation is so much more interesting than "you're going to meet an attractive stranger"
ReplyDeletePS Your Pirate Cat is now painted. She took me two full weeks to complete. I will post her when I begin blogging again in the New Year.
mmmm, choices choices, beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful portrayal of lovers that is. I like to find positive images too of lovers and this is one of the nicest one's I've seen.
ReplyDeleteI like the positive connotations with this - and the image is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting!
ReplyDeleteThis Apache-derived woman thanks you for the non-racist picture :)
ReplyDeleteI really do love that painting.
ReplyDeleteBeing that love and loving is all about choices, this makes perfect sense my dearest Debra ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe art is beautiful, but as a good Capricorn and a stubborn Dragon, I will always make the tough choices when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteBTW, loved what Anne said. I also like this interpretation much more than the "you will meet an attractive stranger" thing.
ReplyDeleteShow the rest of the mural.
