Your question Which door is actually open?

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 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 Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.

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 closing note is a caution about the figure of the trickster, and about information you have taken on trust.
