Your question Where is the exit I keep walking past?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.
  2. The figure in the room Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.
  3. The figure who leaves Zeus Authority, decision and the loneliness of the last word. What to avoid: Power used because it is available.

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

Athena in the middle is the figure of the hunt, describing a pursuit that has become more enjoyable than the catch.

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