Three Random Cards: August 20, 2025

Baraja Azteca: 9 Espadas, 9 Oros, & 5 Copas.

Today’s cards: 9 Espadas, 9 Oros, & 5 Copas.

You are not too old. There may be some things that you can’t do as quickly or as sharply as others, but you are not too old to find joy in what you do. You just have to decide that no matter what, you are going to enjoy what you are doing and find joy in the work. There will be others who will try to “talk sense” into you by reminding you how cringe/dated/boring/childish is the thing you are enjoying. It would be such a shame if you couldn’t hear them over the sound of your soul’s laughter.


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.

Three Random Cards” 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.
