Description OK, now this definately 'ain't your average Lovers picture I ignored the actual "love" aspect and looked at trying to portray choice and temptation. Reading the back-story to the Tarot, the idea is that the Fool has a choice between what is right and what is easy (thank you, Dumbledore ) So I thought ofg someone "taking the high road" - it's harder, but it's right. I had the girl walking along a tightrope, with poeple trying to beckon her down from below.

Yeah. Go figure.

THE LOVERS: choice, struggling with temptation, commitment, friendship, inspiration, new relationships, true or romantic love
INVERTED: conflict, disappointment, unhappiness, poor decisions, the end of a relationship

Very lovely. I think your tarot deck is so original and I like the way you've made the girl a feature.

Very close to head explosion with this one. You've been warned! Get any better at your own risk!
Seriously though...love. Especially the beckoning hands.

Heh - sorry! I plan to make your head explode at least twice by the time you reach the end of the deck

I've personally never been in love (yes, bring out the gypsy violinist ) so it's good to know that at least I managed to interpret it quite well
