Today’s cards: 3 Bastos, 10 Oros, & 12 Oros.

You had all agreed to come together and work on the common goal both in your own idiosyncratic ways and in communal efforts. Each of you gave up something small so that together you could create something big. So when that one person took the bounty for themselves and left you with the emotional debt, no one would blame you for wanting to burn down the remnants you had been left with. Don’t. You will be destroying the seeds of your recovery. Remember why you started this matter in the first place and look around and see who is still faithful to that idea of mutual support. Work with those still willing to work and repair yourself as you repair each other. You won’t be able to recover what was taken, but you will be able to create something better in its place.

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.
