Your question How do I stop carrying this?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Hestia The hearth, the centre of a house, and the stability nobody thanks. What to avoid: Staying so centred that nothing moves.
  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 Hera Partnership, terms, and the negotiation inside a long arrangement. What to avoid: Dignity defended at the cost of honesty.

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

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

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