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 realstars 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.

A Mystic Card · the constellation over you now
Ladon
the dragon at the apples
Draco watches over slow things, the seed that takes a season, the trust that takes years, the golden apples that were never meant to be grabbed. He watches for the person in your life doing quiet guard-duty, the one who holds the line so steadily nobody thanks them. Maybe that's you. He'd tell you the watch is honorable, and also that even he was allowed to sleep, once, when the right song came.
Faithfulness is a skill, count yours as work even when nobody sees the watch.
