Your question Where does this path actually lead?

The spread

  1. The figure who set it up Artemis Independence, the forest and a life that does not need an audience. What to avoid: Solitude defended past the point of need.
  2. The figure in the room Athena Strategy, craft and the intelligence that arrives fully formed. What to avoid: Cleverness used to avoid feeling anything.
  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.

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

Athena in the middle is the figure of the hunt, describing a pursuit that has become more enjoyable than the catch.

Then the story turns and the first figure reappears in the third position, meaning the situation resolves the way it began.
