Checking Advice

From the Slow Tarot, the Star; from the ROAR Oracle, Toypurina:

A man's pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.  ―Bear Grylls

Crossword puzzles often use the word 'asea' for the clue 'confused or uncertain.' In Bryant's card, a woman recognizes that she is lost and uses a sextant, a celestial navigational instrument for determining longitude and latitude. Embarrassment over our face plant may lead us to try the same thing over again, but those who've learned from their fall reach out for guidance. Toypurina was a Kizh medicine woman who led a revolt against the colonial rule of the Spanish missionaries in California. Though the missionaries promised them heaven, they took the indigenous people's land, culture and freedom instead. Toypurina cautions us to look for hidden motives before we follow anyone's adamant opinions. Will their advice empower you or oppress you?
