Your question Is this the right moment to say yes?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
  2. The figure in the room Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
  3. The figure who leaves Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.

Before the figures, a note: myths are not moral instructions. They are patterns, and patterns can be stepped out of.

The final line is an instruction, spoken in the voice of the oldest figure in the story: name the thing, and the plot changes.
