Ring Around the Rosy Part 3: “Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down”

Most people whisper the last line of this rhyme like it is something dark or childish:

“Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.”

In my system, this is the moment where the ego finally runs out of fuel.

In Parts 1 and 2 we looked at:
• the ring – Horus, the time-bound identity, running the same pattern in circles
• the posies – all the little fixes Set uses to keep that ring from ever ending

In Part 3, we sit with the line “ashes, ashes, we all fall down” as a map of what happens when a story is finished:
• the role, the timeline and the narrative have burned through their fuel
• the motor that kept the pattern going is done
• every costume and calendar is equalized on the same ground

In the language of my work:
• Isis = pure awareness
• Osiris = reflection
• Set = imagination and fragmentation
• Horus = the time-bound “me”

“Ashes” is where Horus and Set exhaust themselves and experience collapses back toward Osiris and Isis.
“We all fall down” is not punishment; it is equalization. All the special roles hit the same ground: body, breath, gravity.

This short is part of the Geomytha Lunar Almanac waning–New Moon week, where the invitation is:

“What in my life is already ashes that I keep pretending is still on fire?”

If this resonates and you want more:
• Watch Part 1 – Ring Around the Rosy: The Ego as a Loop, Not a Line
• Watch Part 2 – A Pocket Full of Posies: How We Avoid Falling Down

And if you want this same lens applied to movies, music and books, that work lives inside Geomytha Noir, the inner library of Mythic Geometry Center.
