A reading-room window onto the sky
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
Zeus
the swan
The sky kept the shape and let the story stay unsettled. A swan flying down the river of stars, and nobody can tell you for certain if it's a god in disguise or a god in mourning, desire or grief. Maybe that's the point of it. The same white wings carry both. What you're reaching for and what you've lost make the same silhouette from far enough away, long neck out, wings wide, going somewhere it means to go.
Bring your real face to the thing you want, disguises get heavy.
