Mammon, avatar of capitalist worth
Mythic Lens
Mammon does not shout.
He bargains.
He convinces you that your Spark must be weighed, counted, and sold.
His currency is exhaustion.
His altar is the endless to-do list.
He promises security, but delivers debt — not just of money, but of self.
Psychology Lens
Mammon represents the internalized belief that your worth is conditional on what you produce or earn.
This distortion drives chronic overwork, burnout, and the fear of rest.
It often begins in environments where achievement was rewarded more than presence — where identity became a résumé.
Mammon’s voice turns rest into guilt and turns your value into a ledger.
It is capitalism internalized until you become your own overseer.
Whispers from the mouth of Mammon
“You owe more than you are.”
“If you stop, you’ll lose everything.”
“You are only as good as your last result.”
Counter
Mammon feeds on exhaustion and self-doubt.
Thessa, Archetype of Inherent Worth, does not negotiate with him.
She sits — present, unproductive, whole.
She reminds you that your value was never a debt to repay.
