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.

Orion
the hunter
Orion, a man of such great, thundering strides, boasted he would hunt every creature. A quiet boast, but the Earth herself heard it, and she sent a scorpion, small and sharp, a whisper against his heel. Blinding arrogance, then true blindness, and a killing sting that brought the giant down. Now he shines, a stark reminder in the winter sky, forever fleeing his small, deadly shadow, a lesson in humility, in the quiet power of what is unseen.
Being seen and being hunted are not the same thing, you're allowed to be visible.
