A pair of chubby hearts for everlasting true love inside a laurel wreath for victory. Put ’em together and what have you got?

The notion that love conquers all. Amen.

But hang about one bleeding second Mary Poppins.

What’s that I spy atop the hearts then?

We’ll blow me if it’s not an eight pointed star. Its origins trace back to ancient Mesopotamia, particularly Babylon, where it was closely associated with the goddess Ishtar. Ishtar held sway over domains such as love, fertility, and warfare, and she bore a connection to the planet Venus, often referred to as the Morning Star.

So the two lovers are not only victorious but are also safely protected under the watchful care of Ishtar.

Double win, ain’t love grand?!

(Don’t answer that, it’s rhetorical and deeply facetious).
