Description
Iðunn and Bragi rest in a yew grove. Bragi sits cross-legged and wears a colorful tunic and a short-sleeved jerkin. His pants are black, and he wears knee-high boots. A lute rests on a rock at his side. On the other side, there is a stack of stone tablets, with Runes written upon them. His eyes are open, yet he appears to be in a trance. The Rune for Gêbô glows brightly on his chest. Iðunn stands behind him. Her hair is long and blonde, and she wears a white dress tied at the waist. She holds a golden apple in one hand and points up to the sky with her other hand. Floating just off her hand is the Rune for Ehwaz.

Visual Description
A blonde woman stands behind a seated bearded man in a sunlit forest glade, a soft rainbow arcing overhead. She holds a glowing golden apple in one hand and raises the other toward a rune-like sigil; the man sits cross-legged with a luminous X on his chest. A stack of stones and a small lyre rest beside him, and shafts of warm light filter through the trees. The card bears the Roman numeral VI at the top and the title THE LOVERS at the bottom.
