Hoodoo Divination
Sample Loteria Readings
C asks: “How can I best support my daughter through her depression?”
#20. El Pajaro
#49 El Pino
#48 La Chalupa
The first card says to not flutter around doing something for your daughter; the
suggestion is to do something significant and focused.
Not scattered all over the place. No patchwork solutions; something
consistent and long terms.
The second card tells me that both you and your daughter are stronger than you
guys give yourself credit for. You
both grow straight and tall like a tree.
Also, what is coming to me personally is that being in nature will help
(i.e. natural walks) and also natural remedies.
I’m not knocking pills or therapy or Western medicine at all, esp. if
that works for your daughter. I’m saying that in addition to whatever
traditional modalities you are using, alternative medicine is something to look
into for help. And I am personally
strongly getting the “back to nature, nature walking” feeling.
The last card is a woman on a boat.
I feel this means that your support of your daughter is vital to her.
You will have to carry her for a while. You’re her boat.
But not for always.
Eventually, she will be her own boat and carry herself.
D
asks: I'd
like to look into influences over the next few months I just started
school, and broke ties with some people. Lots of changes
#47 La Corona
#19 La Garza
#51 La Palma
Your first card tells me that you are utilizing your head (your brain) to its
fullest extent --- so the school is a terrific endeavor for you right not.
It’s also telling me that the decision you made about your family was a
wise and rational one. You used your head about it, making a thoughtful
decision. By wearing this “crown”
you took ownership and leadership of your life.
The second card tells me that you are quite capable of taking care of yourself.
You are independent. This card is also a nice counterpoint to the first
card. The heron in the card is in
water…birds are symbols of Air (the intellect) but this bird has its feet in the
water (a symbol of emotion). This
tells me that in the next few months, you will have to combine your rational
intellectual mind with your heart in decision making.
There will be some situations in which both mind and heart will have to
work together to solve some problems.
The last card tells me that a reward awaits you. There is something that you desire and are working for that you will get. A thing that is close to your heart. It’s a prize you have waited and worked for a long time. It will be yours in time. I’m also getting from this card a warning not to exhaust yourself with over work. Take time to enjoy yourself, rest and recuperate. Go to some fun places and relax. You’ll need it. Because otherwise you might find yourself working too hard and neglecting other parts of your life.
Barbara. “Should I ask my boyfriend about moving in together?”
#26 El Negrito
#25 El Borracho
#32 El Musico
Your first card tells me that your boyfriend is something of a sweet talker, a
good dresser, a dandy type. He’s
very charming. You really connect with his ways. He’s an optimistic person even
when facing difficulties, he just has a good attitude about everything.
Your second card, “The Drunk”, indicates though that he might have some
addiction problems or impulse control problems. He acts on a whim.
He’s so optimistic that he thinks he can do everything. Possibly a very
all over the place, scattered kind of person? Unfocused?
Your third card indicates that your boyfriend has a lot of gifts and talents
that he doesn’t want to use or refuses to use or not interested. This is
frustrating! It’s the classic “not applying yourself” or “not living up to your
potential.” You hope that if you live together, perhaps that will motivate him.
M
asks: “Will I get my promotion this year?”
#31 Las Jaras
#30 El Camaron
#24 El Cotorro
Your first card indicates that it will be difficult getting the promotion.
Like a battle. You will have to keep trying, with each try like shooting
an arrow. The promotion is tied to
some action or job or duty that you must do…you have to do something extra for
it.
Your second card is The Shrimp which advises NOT being passive. Don’t hang back.
Don’t hesitate or make yourself small. Be assertive. Make yourself seen.
Your third card warns about office politics and gossip. Make sure no one speaks
against you. Make sure people say positive things about you. Mend any broken
fences and get on everyone’s good side.
Also, generally, don’t engage in gossip. Also, don’t *be* a parrot in the
sense that you just agree or repeat everything other people say. Make yourself
noticed by saying things that make you unique and distinctive.
S
asks: “I want to know if a past boyfriend who has come back into my life after
twenty years will be my husband.”
#46 El Sol
#06 La Sirena
# 05 El Paraguas
Your first card El Sol – The Sun is an optimistic, hopeful card that indicates a
good outcome for you. Your hopes are on track and have a good chance. However,
the card is countered by El Paraguas – The Umbrella protecting you from the dark
and down pouring rain. La Sirena
indicates being carried away by emotion.
Overall, I’d say that he has come back for a reason but your emotions are
running VERY high right now and you are hoping for a lot right now, possibly
hoping for too much. It may be that
you are too eager or rushing things. Or he is coming on very strong out of
passion and eagerness, and this has led you to believe there is more to it than
is really the case.
My personal suggestion is slow down and wait & see. The reading cautions against
hoping for too much too soon. Your
emotions are bouncing from high hopes to serious doubts. You look to The Sun in
hope and yet you are partially submerged in water. You are living in two modes!
Let things go smoothly for a while and let your emotional stabilize.
You will soon figure out how this relationship is going to go! Good luck!
C asks: My man has been away we've not had communication since. When might he be
home or at least hear from him??
#29 El Tambor
#03 La Dama
#15 La Pera
The first card tells me that he wants you and thinks of you but things are not
as they appear. Meaning, he has not communicated with you not because he doesn’t
want you but for other reasons.
Reasons you don’t know or are not sure of.
The second cards tells me that you are handling this a lot better than others
might in a similar situation. You
have strength and tenacity. You are
also very very brave about this situation! You’ve managed to go about your daily
life and get things done just as if you are not worried sick about him!!! La
Dama is a well dressed, capable looking woman --- so are you!!!
The last card says “Do not despair.” To make yourself feel better, you must take
an action of some kind. I don’t know what kind that is.
If you contacted the military, would they respond to you about him? One
of you is giving up on this situation, meaning one of you feels helpless and
unable to get anything done. However, back to El Tambor (the drum): sound is a
form of communication; I’m wondering if you could communicate somehow to him
spiritually through sound or music.
Sounds like an odd suggestion, but it popped into my head. Is there a favorite
song that the two of you share?
R asls: “Will I ever have a long lasting loving marriage?”
