06-The Lovers – Upright Mage Deck

When upright, the Lovers card represents an important choice that will significantly influence the course of one’s life. This choice may have to do with a romantic relationship or a decision to marry and have children. The associated Hebrew letter Zayin conjures up the image of plowing a field and cultivating it wisely to ensure a good harvest. The decisions you make now will have long-term consequences, so it is imperative to think things through, get sound advice, and choose wisely.
