What Does The Deck Say? July 19, 2023

Baraja Azteca: 11 Copas, 10 Espadas, & 11 Espadas.

Today’s cards: 11 Copas, 10 Espadas, & 11 Espadas.

What you are expected to do: Follow the assignment as given and obey the directives of those who declare themselves your superior, regardless if you answer to them or not, because they are your better so you better follow the line.

What you could do instead: Be true to yourself and don’t participate in the devouring war between those two intense personalities. They have chosen what to make of themselves, and it does not fall to you to justify or exonerate them for their personal mistakes. You are not their chess piece to play, so leave the field and go make something of yourself, for yourself.


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.
