  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 Hephaestus The maker, the workshop, and value created by repeated effort. What to avoid: Craft used to avoid being seen.

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

At the centre, Persephone: the figure of the return, meaning something comes back and must be recognised rather than resisted.
