Lovers

More Tarot!

Initially, I had another layout for this card, but the more I researched it, I wanted to rearrange a bit.

The whole gist of the card is leaving the metaphorical garden of Eden and being unable to return.   I liked the apple imagery, symbolizing knowledge, and I wanted to show the garden and gate fading off into the distance. It takes temptation to lure us out from the comforts and securities of our own gardens, be it for love of a person, or desire to explore elsewhere.
