The lovers are the 6 card which is the principle of the hexagon two triangles that are united in each other. the male in the female so they form a magical union with each other in that way . which is what love is. on a higher level it is a union of two individuals who are one.
Two hearts are burning together, indicating that the energies of love and curiosity are drawn to each other like magnets thatis drawn to eatchother, just want to be joined. There may be a greater or lesser union or attraction that
wants to have their manifestation together, where each other's worlds meet on a more intimate level.
And where the fruit of love of that meeting develops in the power that the individuals manifest in.
Sex is a union where it can bring forth a new life and with the sacred expression of inner caring and passion for eatch other in a form of a magical union. So the act of love is at best such a case but it can also equally be a platonic expression of deep friendship and affection.
That love is something that has also been instigated often by a third party a will of the spiritual
to make history and attachments follow a greater plan that is not always amenable to those involved in relationships.
This magical union if it is on a deeper level involves a universe in itself so love becomes
our deeper friendship and where on a spiritual level we are married to each other and if in our worldly affairs, we are to perform something of greater significance then in some cases it can be likened to an intimate love connection.
to an intimate love affair.
In The garden tarot, I have illustrated the parable of the lovers in the bosom of nature and the lovers naked before each other in a union because they are not afraid of each other's nakedness. they do not hide them in the imaginations that clothes give us.
The flowers that surround them want to show that they illuminate each other in the sign of love from the deepest eroticism to friendly closeness to experience the beauty of the other.
