Your question What would the bravest version of me do today?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.
  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 Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.

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

At the centre, Athena, the figure of war conducted badly: a conflict continued past its purpose.

The final line is an instruction, spoken in the voice of the oldest figure in the story: name the thing, and the plot changes.
