Some people have asked about the readings with the Mexican Loteria cards and how they can be used as an oracle. I became interested when someone here on the boards posted about them and after getting a deck I did a tiny bit of research online and came up with the riddles associated with each card. I find the cards to be very easy to read intuitively....I use the riddles plus my thoughts about possible meanings...usually there are three or four per card which doesn't seem that unusal since regular oracle decks seem to have more than one....during the reading I just choose the one that comes to me or alter it if something pops into my head...(well thats the whole idea behind intuitive)...So here are the riddles and translations...along with my intuitive interpretations of them....I will divide the post into several as there are quite a few cards...perhaps you will find it useful or at least give an idea of where you might start...
