Ouroboros, the card suites, sun and moon, ankh, yin-yang, a crown, the Lancaster rose and a lily.

Very close! :D Actually I was just trying to draw a wild rose and lily like those featured on some of the RWS tarot cards (like The Magician for example).

But whose to say that they can't be symbolic of the Lancaster Rose and Fleur-de-lis? :flower:

I figured the lily was naturalistic, but the rose looked pretty similar to the Lancaster one. I was on the fence about whether to identify it as a rose or the Lancaster rose.

Maybe somewhere in my subconscious that was what I had in mind? ;)

I'm pretty unfamiliar with the history of "The War of the Roses" but every time I see the combination of red roses and white lilies in Rider Waite Smith's tarot cards I get a kind of "France and England together" kind of vibe. After all one country is known for its lily symbol and the other for its rose symbols.
