Baraja Azteca: 9 Oros, 8 Copas, & 4 Espadas.

Today’s cards: 9 Oros, 8 Copas, & 4 Espadas.

It feels like all you have to do is stop trying so hard and just coast on those currents that are already taking you towards where you think you need to be. And for the most part they are. But that is not all that they are carrying you towards, or carrying with you. You still need to pay attention to what is going on around you and what is happening with the resources you depend on. You still need to check in with the people that care about you and the people you you answer to. You still need to make sure that you are at least facing the right way, and are not watching your “sure thing” float away in the distance. You still need to be present, if for nothing else but to make sure that everything present with you with working with you. And if it isn’t, well, that’s why it’s called Work.


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.
