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
Perseus
the hero with the mirror
The gods packed him like a mother packs a child for a long trip. Athena, the polished shield. Hermes, the winged sandals. The nymphs, a bag that could fold around anything, even a head that turned onlookers to stone. Perseus asked for help, and it turns out that was the heroic part, before the monster, before the mirror, a boy admitting the task was too big for his own two hands. Every problem he met, he already carried the answer for. Ask, is the whole moral. Ask before you go.
You already carry the tool this problem needs, check your hands before you panic.
