Your question What does my restlessness want?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.
  2. The figure in the room Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.
  3. The figure who leaves Poseidon Deep feeling, unpredictable force, and moods with a tide. What to avoid: Emotion used as an argument.

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

At the centre, Ares, the figure of war conducted badly: a conflict continued past its purpose.

The reading ends where myths always end: with a choice, a consequence, and a version of the story told afterwards.
