The spread

The figure who set it up Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
The figure in the room Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.
The figure who leaves Hera Partnership, terms, and the negotiation inside a long arrangement. What to avoid: Dignity defended at the cost of honesty.

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

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

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

The right moment arrives with the returning light.

Attention is the most expensive thing you own; spend it well.
