From the Tarot Lukumi, the Six of Wands; from the Diloggun Cards, Twelve Mouths (Oturupon):
Without integrity and honor, having everything means nothing.
—Robin Sharma
Ochosi's skill and patience in tracking the herd have paid off. He returns victoriously with food for his people. The deer's life will be honored - not by putting its head on a wall - but through the nutrition, clothing and tools it will provide. Ochosi didn't kill the whole herd, just what was needed. Likewise, success means simply achieving our objective, not subsuming or obliterating everything in our path along the way. Oturupon's (Twelve Mouths') ethic says: "We must never raise problems or incite conflict. We must take the time to be sure of our words even before we speak." If we want to live an honorable life that is respectful of our interconnection with others, self-restraint in all areas is good advice.
