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.

Erichthonius
the charioteer
Erichthonius could not walk, so he built the first chariot, four horses where his legs would have been. Athena gave him reins. The sky holds him at the moment the horses started to listen.
Ask for reins, not rescue, you're closer to driving than you think.
