Erichthonius

A Mystic Card · the constellation over you now

Erichthonius

the charioteer

Athena watched him for a long time before she stepped in, the boy who could not walk, bent over axles, talking to horses like colleagues. She could have healed him, gods can do that. She handed him reins instead. There's a teaching in that, the goddess of wisdom choosing tools over miracles, believing the mend he built would hold longer than any she performed. She was right. He drove, he ruled, he raced. Sometimes the kindest thing wisdom does is trust you with the harder gift.

The wild parts of your life aren't against you, they're just not harnessed yet.
