Your question Where does this path actually lead?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Zeus Authority, decision and the loneliness of the last word. What to avoid: Power used because it is available.
  2. The figure in the room Persephone A descent and a return, and the strange authority gained between them. What to avoid: Staying in a lower place out of habit.
  3. The figure who leaves Aphrodite Desire, beauty and the practical work of being wanted. What to avoid: Worth measured by attention received.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the myth begins with an old bargain, and the bargain is still being honoured by habit.

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

The last role is the returning one, which means the week ends with someone coming back into a room.
