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
Arcas
the small bear
Arcas, the young hunter, made bear, then star. Forever he circles, a small, quiet presence near his mother, the Great She-Bear. A longing etched into the cosmos, the silent plea of a child who almost harmed the one he was born from. Polaris, a needle of light, pins him to the sky, a still point in his endless, yearning orbit, a witness to a love frozen in the vast, dark cloth.
Home is a direction before it's a door, keep facing it.
