Ah... Thank you. And thank you for offering to draw more cards in future.
I do think that I am happy to follow the main suggestion here, which is to keep the healing work, and Brigid's signature of generosity, at the core and heart of everything I do. It is reassuring, and also, although I keep company with her regularly at my altar, and can feel her presence there, I do not always receive very CLEAR communications, and this reading does feel like it has been that!
As to continuing to work with the SOP and my devotional practices, they are simply part of my clinic work "day", so this is obviously not a conflict with "A". And there are several paths of study which relate to clinical work - including deeper topics in acupuncture itself, also reviews through the medical literature on different topics that come up with my patients. I have been drawn to study some older medical and herbal lore from time to time, but always following a thread that comes from one of the people who has come to see me. Probably, as long as the thread of study ties to the clinic, it will continue to be part of the work. I do need to train me to BE the point of access for the transmission of Brigid's healing energy from higher planes to the etheric and material planes, and the tools that become familiar to me through study will be the ones that I can use. (Even though they are not the ONLY tools). It is true that my own energy can sometimes be very scattered and haphazard, so I can well believe there will be unforeseen and unplanned things that may arise. The final outcome card for A (2 of cups) will be at the forefront of my mind as reassurance, should I need this. :)
As to the "B" column, when I look at it, I see the two "outcome" cards, side by side, and I certainly do not ever want to end up on the other side of the stained glass window, from where the people outside would be lost to my view and reach! That is a very strong deterrent prospect to me!
The temptation is to follow a deeper path into magic and ceremony is hard to silence entirely if I continue to read JMG's blog - he is a good example of its value. Studies such as the Tarot itself (well done, you!), the Cabala, and other such subjects, which mean nothing to me at the moment, but which are discussed there very often, all call out to be explored. But I think it is good for me to accept this is not my path in this life. To accept this is to accept the limitation within which the healing work can be honed.
But, when you say there is something about the two wand cards that you don't perceive yet, I feel this too. I wonder if you can answer me this. The B column is heavy in "Wand" cards, while the A column + Brigid card stress the "cups" cards more so. Tell me what you can say of the general difference between these two suits - the Wands and the Cups? Maybe there is something important in this.
