What Does The Deck Say? May 8, 2024

Baraja Azteca: 2 Bastos, 7 Espadas, & 1 Basto.

Today’s cards: 2 Bastos, 7 Espadas, & 1 Basto.

You won’t recognize the import of what happened until it is done and the consequences are set. While you won’t be able to go back in time to undo what happened, if you face it squarely now, you will be able to mitigate the damage and support what remains after. If you turn away and treat it like a flash in the pan, it will become a coal-seam fire that will only become obvious once everything that was salvageable has been destroyed. Treat is seriously now.


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.
