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.

Chiron
the gentle centaur
A teacher, a healer, his hands knew the roots of the earth, the language of the stars. He raised heroes, boys with fire in their blood, but a poison arrow found his own flesh, a burning, unending. Immortality, a crown of thorns when it won't let you fall into dust. The longing was for stillness, a quiet breath, the simple fading that other things know. He found it in giving, a gentle gift of ending, and the sky held him then, a soft, slow light.
Teaching what you know is a way of healing what you carry.
