In this second chapter of our journey through the houses, we leave behind the bright burst of first breath and enter the quiet, grounding terrain of the Second House — the house of value, money, body, worth, and what it means to truly belong here.

We reflect on what happens after Rumpelstiltskin tears himself into the earth — a fitting image for the descent from the daimonic into the material. From here, we explore the deep resourcing available in the 2–4am hours, the hiddenness of self-worth, and the tension between longing and ingenuity.

We turn to myth and story: Psyche’s journey to the underworld, King Midas and his golden touch, Hermes and the sacred cattle, and the Fisherman’s insatiable wife. Along the way, we question what is enough, what is truly ours, and how far we’ve wandered from the Temple of Hera — where the first coins were once minted as offerings to the Great Mother.

This episode invites a soulful reckoning with our possessions, our body, and our relationship to the material world. What have we been given? What do we give back? And what might it mean to remember the sacred nature of value itself?
