I've seen the Devil card associated with marriage in many TdM books, which makes sense with two people linked together. The Star as dying and going up to heaven also make sense. But so many of the card meanings in the LWB are so arbitrary, I think they must be from a cartomancy tradition we aren't aware of. Or, the folks at the Heron publishing house went out for happy hour and had a hilarious time writing the LWB over drinks.
This reminds me of a talk I heard at a conference by someone who used to work for Lo Scarabeo. She was given just a few hours to write the LWB for a deck, with no opportunity to consult with the artist. Just free-associate, crank it out, and get on to the next project. Perhaps we shouldn't take this or any LWB so seriously.
