I think the purpose of the disagreement was to extend the definition of this archetype and it is something you also did, although you may not see differences in the multiple ways you have defined it, I do see many of them as how it can open another to the archetype.
What it seems to me is that courting image is a love based focus upon the archetype which works for love/wisdom distorted beings whereas a wisdom/love distorted being is unlikely to resonate with this image, which creates a need to develop further what this limited perspective of the archetype opens a window unto. This in no way denies the system nor the archetype.
As I have stated from my personal experiences, there is for me a teaching partnership with my High Priestess, which while not being anything like plundering, is not anything like courting either. So I don't think the polarity of the archetype can be fully expressed through this one image, while I can still see the point that is made through it.
To take your example of going out in the rain and dance, this is not something I would do as I am disonant with it but also is something I would not be asked to do. Here, what I see is that acts of faith can create polarizing moments and I've had some of my own, as it is a natural part of the process which I do not see as courting the High Priestess. The only reason I can perceive that one would be asked to go out and dance in the rain, is because of the nonsense of it, through an act of faith, would create movement within through the feelings it generates. Me, I am someone who will seek to understand why first and this act would thus become meaningless.
A similar occurence I had was that I felt compelled to buy a scratch lottery ticket which "I knew" was a winning one and that I knew I was meant to give it unscratched to an homeless person. Was a 777 ticket that was winning 7$ (yay syncs) and I ended up scrathing it first to see that it was winning beforehand. This ruined the catalyst opportunity I felt compelled to offer and I was allowed to perceive what could've been if I had went with it.
To me, the positive transformation of the mind through the High Priestess will be built upon respect and teaching in a wisdom oriented manner, through interactions between facets of myself.
