Your question What am I pretending not to know?

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 Poseidon Deep feeling, unpredictable force, and moods with a tide. What to avoid: Emotion used as an argument.

The reading opens in the middle of a story that has been running for longer than this week.

The heart of the reading is Hephaestus, the figure who negotiates, which is the role this week actually requires.

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