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
Lepus
the hare at Orion's feet
The hare watches for the tired runners. The ones who've been ahead of something for so long, a worry, a memory, a wolf of one kind or another, that they've forgotten they are, in fact, ahead of it. She'd tell you what her legs know, you can be afraid and fast at the same time, afraid and alive, afraid and fine, for years. And that the dogs behind you are stars too. They're fixed. You're the one who moves.
Being afraid and being fine can share the same body, yours is proof.
