Your question Which invitation should I accept?

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 Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.

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

Ares holds the middle and points at the figure of the threshold: the one who decides what crosses.

The twist is generational: the pattern being played out this week was written before you were born.
