The Scene of Love

On a hot summer day, a couple of lovers rests in the shade, enveloped by the relaxing fragrance of honeysuckle. They sing a song in unison: 'To lie on the grass, under a bush – How can one not dream of this? Come here, where the birds sing – Quickly, quickly, quickly! Here, under the canopy of branches!' The singing ends with laughter, the sweet sound of serene joy.

Outcasts by Choice

These forest dwellers became outcasts in society because they made a choice for a shared future. Legends tell of their love – strong, all-encompassing, and eternal. Whatever may be on their path, the Lovers face trials shoulder to shoulder, as equals. They are both archers and their weapons are beside them. But now everything is filled with peace and the whole world for them is reflected in each other's eyes.

True Partnership

This card is not about casual flirtation. The Lovers embody true partnership, as well as life choices that require sacrifice and commitment. Despite the fact that the Lovers here are of different genders, kindred souls find each other, regardless of gender.

Brief Meaning

Love and passion. Life choices. Soulmates. Faith in one's love.

If You Look Closely

The song that the Lovers sing is from Shakespeare's comedy 'As You Like It,' Act 2, Scene 5. Honeysuckle, like the two turtle doves on the branches, symbolizes faithful love and devotion.
