Your question Which version of the story is true?

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 Demeter Nourishment, the harvest and grief that changes the world. What to avoid: Care that becomes control.
  3. The figure who leaves Hermes Messages, negotiations, and the trade that benefits both sides. What to avoid: Charm as a substitute for commitment.

The cast opens under Cancer, and the first role is the architect: someone, possibly you, built the conditions and then forgot.

The centre figure is Demeter, and it names the part of the situation that is about craft rather than feeling.

The third figure is the one who leaves, and the myth is clear that leaving is a role, not a failure.
