Spanish cartomancy (baraja española) is a very common divinatory art in Spanish-speaking countries such as Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Argentina and others. It is an oracle that requires the use of intuition for a reading to be more comprehensive and assertive.
It is widely practiced by followers of Santeria (religion), sorcerers, gypsies and healers because it is simpler than using a tarot deck. Unlike cartomancy with common playing cards that uses a deck of 52 cards, the Spanish deck has 48 cards, and also has a variation with only 40 cards, divided into 4 suits.
The diamond cards represent the bourgeoisie/monarchy and merchants. The clubs represent the working class, such as farmers and ranchers.
The spades represent the nobility/sovereigns. The hearts represent the Christian chalice/priests.
Each card in the Spanish deck has a unique meaning, which can be changed according to how they appear in the reading
(in a normal or inverted position) and how they interact with each other. In general, each suit is associated with a theme as described below:
Suit of Coins = associated with the earth element (summer) and the signs of Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus.
Related to financial matters, money, possessions, savings, debts, inheritances and investments.
Suit of Swords = associated with the air element (autumn) and the signs of Aquarius, Libra and Gemini.
Related to challenges, conflicts, bad luck, intellect, physical and mental health, sadness and obstacles.
Suit of Cups = associated with the water element (winter) and the signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.
Related to the emotional plane, feelings, marriage, friendships, fertility and lovers.
Suit of Wands = associated with the fire element (spring) and the signs of Sagittarius, Aries and Leo.
Related to labor issues, promotions, employment, career, action and intelligence.
There are no specific spreads for Spanish cartomancy, all those used with classic tarot or traditional cartomancy can also be used with these cards.
Before starting any of our online Spanish cartomancy readings about love and relationships, prepare yourself mentally by finding a quiet place where you can concentrate without being interrupted
(avoid places with excessive noise or the presence of other people, since oracles are sensitive and pick up all types of vibrations around them, which can interfere with the final result of your consultation).
Close your eyes, breathe in and out slowly several times, trying to relax your body and mind.
Open your eyes slowly and focus on what you want to ask the Spanish cards. When formulating your question, try to be as clear and objective as possible.
If you want, don't ask any questions, just choose one of the spreads (according to your needs) and click on one of the cards to see what message the Spanish deck has for your love life.
