Your question What am I building without noticing?

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 Hera Partnership, terms, and the negotiation inside a long arrangement. What to avoid: Dignity defended at the cost of honesty.
  3. The figure who leaves Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.

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

With Hera at the centre, the reading points at the figure of the household, and at the unpaid labour inside it.

The closing note is a caution about the figure of the trickster, and about information you have taken on trust.
