Today’s cards: 4 Bastos, 9 Espadas, & 11 Espadas.

Take every moment as it comes, but take it with the understanding that the mood of the moment can and will shift at any time. Do what you have to do to keep you safe in the moment that you find yourself in, but work carefully to extricate yourself from this environment with the goal of placing yourself in someplace where you don’t have to wonder if that was the sound of an eggshell cracking. Take advantage of the good times to prepare for the bad times.


A Baraja Española deck, the Baraja Azteca is a 48 card deck of playing cards used for such games as Brisca, Tute, and Mus. This 48-card variant of the deck contains four suits; Oros (Coins), Bastos (Clubs), Espadas (Swords), and Copas (Cups). While the deck is made primarily for play, it functions well as a divination tool. Each reader uses their own personal understanding and intuition to interpret the cards.

What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck. No context or query is given to frame what the cards say as the posts are reading samples and not personal instruction. The result is sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and usually surprising. All readers are invited to leave a comment about what they perceive in the random spread as each person will interact with the cards in their own way.

Personalized, direct, and private cartomancy readings are available via Ko-Fi: Noxporium.
