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
Pegasus
the winged horse
A great square of stars rides the autumn sky, and that is him, or the shoulder of him, big enough that you look through it more than at it. Pegasus watches for the moment a person sets something down, the job that was a saddle, the name that was a bridle, and gets lighter. He was ridden once, ridden well and then ridden badly, and he learned the difference between carrying and being used. He kept rising after he was empty. So can you, is what the square is for.
Something good is already coming out of the hard thing that just ended.
