An Explanation on the Design of the Lovers Major Arcana Tarot Card

Lovers from Tarot of the Morning Star Inspiration for my depiction of the Lovers tarot card came in part from Paolo Uccello’s  painting of Saint George and the Dragon.

The maiden is the symbolic stimulus for overcoming fear for she inflames the hero to action liberating him from what holds him […]
