Your question Which version of the story is true?

The spread

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.
The figure in the room Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.
The figure who leaves Ares Conflict with a purpose, and the courage to be disliked. What to avoid: A fight continued past its reason.

The reading opens in the middle of a story that has been running for longer than this week.

At the centre, Athena, the figure of war conducted badly: a conflict continued past its purpose.

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

Write it down before you decide.

Wait for the second thought, then move quickly.

The rest is part of the work.
