One of many Baraja Española decks, 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 divinatory tool. Each reader uses their own personal understanding and intuition to interpret the cards.

Today’s cards: 11 Copas, 8 Copas, & 9 Oros.

“Do what you love for work and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Bullshit. Utter and complete bullshit. The tyranny of working to other people’s expectations can grind all the bright and shining optimism and joy out of any personal endeavor, be it making toys for children or large works of art for private display. Your personal heaven has become your personal hell, but to pay the bills, you’re going to have to remain here for some time longer. Do what you need to do, but don’t forget to prepare for what comes after.
