Your understanding is still basically incorrect. The application of the terms is still just as broad because the terms originated from the Tree of Life. In fact, such terminology was non-existent when the original tarot was made and does not apply to the individual hands but just the left-side and right-side of the cards. If you look into the material, you will discover that the terms were first brought up BY THE CHANNELERS which assumed the bias of connoting them with polarity, when in fact that is not the true nature of the cards nor the terms.
I stand-by my use of the terminology and will not be connoted with the STS polarity due to my use of the left-sides of the cards and left-side of the Tree of Life.
If that is how this forum interprets the archetypes, then it has a very shallow understanding and use of them.
Also, this is the only time I am going to say this:
"My sources" a good portion of the time is Ra himself. You are free to disbelieve this. You are free to ban me over it. My goal is simply to make these cards useful.

It seems due to biases of the channelers, which Ra seemingly accomodated (why?), this concept was unneccessarily applied to the hands as opposed to the sides of the cards at times during the work.
So for all intents and purposes, it's more like left-side and right-side rather than applying to the hands themselves.
Yeah, Ra doesn't even bring up such terminology regarding the hands. The channelers did. Heheheh. I think the use of those words distorted everything.
I thank Ra for introducing these concepts as they are; however, they unequivocally failed at actually defining the symbology. In fact, they would have been better off giving a general methodology rather than this haphazard approach that exists today.
There is a key available but finding the lock is still very hard due to this non-sense. It's a travesty that such confusion still lies dormant here further leading any potential practictioner astray.
