Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.
  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 Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.

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

With Hephaestus in the middle, the reading names the figure you have been cast as without agreeing to it.

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