Your question Is this a beginning or an ending in disguise?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Poseidon Deep feeling, unpredictable force, and moods with a tide. What to avoid: Emotion used as an argument.
  2. The figure in the room Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.
  3. The figure who leaves Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.

On a Friday in autumn, under Waxing Crescent, the myth reading begins with a role rather than a person.

The centre figure is Persephone, describing the inventor, and the specific loneliness of building something nobody asked for.

Then the reading names the exit, and notes that in most versions of this story it was available from the start.
