Keywords
Symbolism
Here they move more toward the classic direction, as there stands a choice to open hearts to each other or not, to show each other's "inner self" or conversely to lock it away. The red dress of the female figure symbolizes love, matter, earth, while the blue suit of the male represents wisdom, contemplation, the bearer of spirit, son of heaven. Here we don't have the classical angel, but a key that illuminates love and grants this choice. As soon as the red and blue flowers unite, they form a purple patch located beneath the heart. They create spirit, its material manifestation. The background behind the key is also not so simple – the rose symbol is used widely in both occultism and theology, with deep meaning embedded in it – this is the labyrinth through which we pass to our soul, our world, connection with the divine. Listrani duplicates and reflects this as background in many cards. The key descending from above has references to the winged solar disk, and to the wedge-shaped bone and correspondingly the pineal gland. In essence, our key shows divine monad, which freely moves in different hypostases, which dies and is reborn daily. The dynamic component that allows us to manifest in this world. The pineal gland is like a component of our "I", the coolest spiritual filling in a person.
Card's Message
The essence of the arcanum doesn't change from the classic, only new colors are added, and in any case this is a choice of with whom and how.

Visual Description
Two skeleton figures dressed in colorful, Day-of-the-Dead-style clothing stand facing one another as they hold an ornate metal heart-shaped reliquary with a keyhole and a flaming crest. Behind them a fan of swords tipped with skulls radiates like a halo, and a winged key hovers in the bright yellow sky above. Lush flowers and foliage fill the foreground and frame the scene on both sides. The card title "THE LOVERS" is printed at the bottom and the Roman numeral "VI" appears on the card's left and right borders.
