THE FIRST LILIES CARD....FROM ANNA. K
Got this from Anna this morning and so here is her first Lilies card, the one she calls her Sensuous Lily and her interpretation. Next week, we will get the other Lilies.
Dear everybody,
I have uploaded the first version of my Lily, the one which represents sensuality and sexuality!
(Sensual) Lily:

For all those who interpret the Lily as virtuousness/purity: you just have to wait one more week; I'll upload Virtuous Lily soon! Until then I hope you'll still find some interesting input in my Sensual Lily, even if you'll never use it for your own readings!
In case you're asking yourself why I painted two Lily cards, and not just one which would then represent both meanings:
I also write about this on the "interpretation" page. Basically, I don't think sensuality and virtuousness are incompatible; they can definitely coexist. But I think they are not part of one superordinate category. They are not two points on the same spectrum; one is not a weak form of the other, or an exaggerated experience of the other. I believe they are completely separate issues. This is why I personally don't feel comfortable using both meanings for the same card in my readings, and why I found it impossible to paint an image that eloquently illustrated both. So I decided to paint two separate Lily cards. I use both (I read with 37 cards), but you can choose just one if you wish, the one with the meaning you are used to. Or you can use just one and apply both meanings. All is fine as long as it makes sense to you!
I wish you all a pleasurable week, full of great food and music and dance, and all of (but not more than) the romantic passion you desire!
Anna
