Unearthing – the craft

Where does The Craft fit into the story structure?

The Craft is the first section of Unearthing. It is Virgo I.

Unearthing is the final part of summer, or act two of the story.

The Craft is the initiation into Unearthing.

How can Virgo I guide this section?

Key themes: warmth, deep satisfaction, routines, comforts

The Sun: fulfilment in daily experiences

Mercury: communication, clarity, messages

Eight of Pentacles: daily craft, the pleasure of work

This is the first part of Unearthing, and the story is building to a point of revelation and transformation, as we reach the cusp of the equinox in Virgo III.

Before that, there is a sense of the characters reaching for the mundane, the practical, and the routine to help to ground them after the high fantasy and disorientation of Leo.

questions to ask of the story at this point

• After the madness of high summer, what routines are recovered to help manage the chaos?

• What work is undertaken?
