Book T: Lord of Love.
The account presents union, affection and enjoyment through its gendered language of complementary powers. Unfavourable relationships with other cards can turn pleasure into waste or foolish action.
Thoth: Two of Cups.
Book T’s title is shown separately from the Thoth name. The symbol note below describes the 1912 text, whose design can differ from Harris’s painting.
