in The Work · Cards
Mantis
description
Mantis gathers prayer-pose, precise strike, and wait. These are the face’s present marks in the Animal Deck — compositional sense for The Work, not a forecast.
Counsel held with the face: Ready the precise strike. Then withdraw clean. In the vessel this leans the sitting; it does not unlock a Manifestation.
A Card in The Work — not a map word. Card-only meetings read how faces sit together. It does not unlock a Manifestation.
Place faces in The Work to see how they sit together. A return is another meeting, not a collection.
