After an overview of the history of Tarot, which takes us through the streets of Milan, Ferrara and Bologna, Mary K. Greer focuses on The Lovers card as an intriguing example of how our ideas about it have changed through the ages. Included with the recording are a copy of all the slides and a worksheet for a three card layout featuring the Lovers. The questions on the worksheet are derived from history-based interpretations for The Lovers and open up new ways of looking at this card when it appears in a reading.
