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
Korax
Apollo's raven
The raven watches for the errand you keep meaning to finish. The message half-written, the call not returned, the small delay that grew its own excuse. He knows how a lie starts, not with malice, just with figs, just with something sweeter close by. He isn't judging you from up there, he was the one who did it. He'd tell you the truth is shorter than the story, and the water was never that far away.
Tell the plain version before the polished one, the plain one is shorter.
