Dearest Marge and Tiff,
I write by candlelight, and I tremble with excitement. This new
clarity has not dawned on me for some time. Thank you for your support
as I work to solve for this most complicated sigil.

As you know, I solved (some time ago) that the first, second, and
third position core symbols link to blood drops first, second, and
third position. 1-1, 2-2, 3-3. Yes.

We all know that the fourth core symbol must be present, but we must
not connect it to any blood drop. This I've explained to you over your
delicious casserole. (That was scrummy!)

New findings!

The blood drop in the fourth position CANNOT be IGNORED! How did I not
see this before?

ALL the blood drops simply MUST have the energetic connection between
the symbols in the core, coursing through the central ring, to the
blood drops in the other layer (the skin) (I know, Tiff, you don't
like the sound of that word!)

Tonight I began to puzzle this:

Which core symbol (those darned squiggly wigglies) will connect to
blood drop 4 if you have to ignore tail 4?!

You HAVE to connect core symbol 5 to DROP 4!

And from that, a new pattern emerges:

CORE SYMBOL 5 to DROP 4 | CORE SYMBOL 6 to DROP 5, etc

Does that make sense?

It ends with core symbol 9 to DROP 8.

ALL DROPS need connections (much like our triad of love is connected
in all ways - but more on that later (wink wink)).

You were right to ignore core symbol 4. I see that now. Yes, Marge.
I'm doing my best to give you credit when credit is due. I'm
LISTENING, Marge.

A higher core symbol watches over a drop one lower AFTER 4, which can
lead me to do core symbol 5 to drop 4!

I know this is very confusing, but hope this makes even a modicum of
sense, my darlings...

Let's go watch the hawks tomorrow, and perhaps we'll see the American
redstart or an Ash-throated Flycatcher!
