Mystic Cards
A Mystic Card takes the constellation riding highest over you right now, where you stand, and hands you the old Greek myth behind its name, painted in our own hand, with the constellation's real stars laid over it in their true positions. Draw what's near, or draw at random.
It isn't a fortune. It's an invitation, sit with an ancient story for a minute and notice what it echoes in your own week. The constellation overhead changes through the night and the seasons; or pick any of the 33 below.

Laelaps
the hound that never lost
Laelaps was the hunting dog who always caught what he chased. He was set after the Teumessian fox, who was never caught. Zeus saw the paradox forming and froze them both into stars rather than break the world's logic. The chase is still happening.
The unsolvable thing in your life may need placing, not solving.
