The Hierophant

Upright
Follow the established method; this is not the moment to invent your own.
Ask someone who has already done it.
Tradition is useful here because it has survived the mistakes you are about to make.
Formal study, mentorship or a recognised process will save time.
Belonging to a structure gives you a base to depart from later.
Reversed
The rule you are obeying no longer serves the reason it was made.
Your disagreement with the consensus deserves examination, not suppression.
Institutions drift; leaving may be more honest than complying quietly.
Question the inherited assumption before you carry it another year.
Keep the practice, drop the packaging.
Original Chinese reading
Upright: 传统、信念、指引、教诲
Reversed: 教条、固执、打破常规
