Harmony and Unity
This card reflects the harmony between the goddess and the god, united in their hearts and minds when making decisions and in their cooperation. This partnership is a conscious decision where intellect and emotion blend. Here, the deities are united by a common interest in hunting, having prepared their hounds and weapons of choice. The goddess wears an ornament with her symbol, a silver horned moon, while the god has a golden solar disk on his headpiece. The Moon and Sun collaborate for the benefit of Earth, as without the Moon there are no tides, and without the Sun, there is no life.
Symbolism of the Accessories
Her silver bracelet indicates the wisdom of the serpent, while his arm band is fashioned into an ouroboros, a snake eating its own tail, symbolizing the cycle of life in nature and the galaxy.
