The Book says: The union of ourselves with the spiritual. The attainment of perfect union. Divine oneness. Integration. Total Harmony. Total Oneness. Perfection. Union with your spiritual self. This is Eros and Psyche – representing the union of the material (mortal) with the spiritual (immortal).

TarotBroad’s Buzz: This card speaks to me of a transcendent and luminous blending of the divine and the human, or the spiritual and the physical of masculine and feminine. Eros is a god, an immortal who falls in love with Psyche, a mortal. But before their love can be acknowledged both must undergo a transformation which allows them to appreciate and work with each other’s unique energies. Once they are able to combine and blend their energies and make the decision to commit to this union, their love creates the vibrations symbolized by the lovely fractal behind them. This card just gives me a feeling of peace and harmony. It takes love beyond the brief pleasure of a romance novel or a passionate affair and raises it to the level of a divine harmony. These two figures are more than just temporary lovers – their joining and their love transcends such mortal concepts as time and space. They are soulmates in the truest sense of the word – one is incomplete without the other. Each half needs to other to survive. Without each other they are incomplete and cut off from something vital. Being too focused on the physical without honoring the spiritual often leads to abusive and addictive behaviors and a materialism and need for things to provide a fleeting sense of fulfillment. Focusing too much on the spiritual and ignoring the physical creates a false dichotomy that tries to ignore how important the physical is to achieving wholeness and touching the divine. I read a quote once (although I can’t remember who said it) that we are not physical beings having a spiritual experience we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Connecting the physical and the spiritual is the only way to reach divine oneness and achieve perfect union.
