  I still am not certain that I really understand the Wood suit. I've never been into this aspect of the elements, as wood and earth have never seemed separate to me. What am I missing?

     Ok....let's start at the beginning...why I added two new suits.
     
     
     My desire was to incorporate the elemental traditions of the metaphysical systems of the whole world in an attempt to make the tarot a universally applicable system. So I added Wood and Metal, from the Asian metaphysical system. That meant that I had to translate the meanings and relevances that are associated with those elements within the system from which they derive into concepts that could be used in Tarot. 
     
     
     As I have studied Feng Shui for many years and have a passing familiarity with acupressure and Chinese medicine, I feel confident in my ability to interpret Wood and Metal within the context of Tarot.
     
     
     Wood is a suit that deals with two aspects of life, nurturing and personal growth. The 7 of Wood, today's card, speaks - depending on it's context - either to acquiring personal growth or nurturing in a way that is not necessarily straightforward or may be a deviation from what you had expected. 
     
     
     Metal deals with will power and ego, in other words, it deals with the applied use of the intellect as a tool. That is a refinement of the suit of Air which relates to the various processes and levels of the mind conscious, unconscious and subconscious.
     
     
     Currently, I am working on individual card descriptions on my website, www.sacredearthsevenelement.com. 
     
     
     I hope this is of some help to you.
