The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.
  2. The figure in the room Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.
  3. The figure who leaves Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.

The first figure is the one who made the first move, and the reading is careful to note that intention and outcome are different gods.

With Hephaestus at the centre, the reading points at the figure of the household, and at the unpaid labour inside it.

The final role is the witness, and it is the least dramatic and most useful part you could take.
