O thank goodness! Taking the 7 of wands, I asked if I am on the right path with my teaching career. Bloomin self doubt! And the above descriptions describe the experience so perfectly! So I take that as a yes, carry on in the wilderness!
Leaving:
The Heirophant.
I have the Mythic Tarot, which shows a centaur, Chiron, at the entrance of his cave. Recieving spiritual wisdom and applying it to the physical, manifest. In the myth, Chiron was born of Ixion, son of Ares, and a cloud which Zeus designed to prevent Ixion courting Zeus' wife, Hera. Heirophant/Chiron can be a spiritual teacher, the link between the divine, wisdom of the intuitive knowing and the logical world in which we live. It can represent a time when we seek to make sense of the world, philosophically, maybe through the intervention of someone we can learn from.
