A richly detailed Pre-Raphaelite painting of Morgan le Fay by Frederick Sandys (1864). Morgan stands in a dim, ornate chamber beside a large wooden loom, her red hair glowing in the firelight. She wears layered green, gold, and purple robes, with a leopard skin draped around her waist. Her hands stretch forward as if casting a spell or weaving enchantment over a black cloak adorned with symbols. The background glimmers with golden patterns and woven designs, and a faint sunset glows through the window behind her — merging magic, art, and fate.

The boulder is etched with strange, ancient-looking symbols — triangles, circles, and clocks — suggesting cosmic weight and prophetic meaning.

Five silhouetted figures stretch across a blank white wall. Each figure is caught mid-action: a woman holds a child, a girl rides a horned beast, a central figure dances or flees, while a man in a top hat holds a puppet girl by the hair.

A circular, vintage-style pie chart titled “The Simone Weil Wheel of Love” appears on a warm cream background. The center of the wheel contains the word “ATTENTION” in bold black font. Twelve colored segments surround it, each labeled with a form of giving love through attention:

Asking follow-up questions

Remembering what they said

Reading between the lines

Seeing their pain

Making space

Not fixing — just being

Naming what they feel before they can

Witnessing in silence

Letting them talk about the same thing again

Staying when they push away

Listening without interrupting
