Lotería Remedios Oracle

Lotería Remedios is a 54-card oracle deck that reimagines the iconic game of Lotería by using the traditional symbols for divination, reflection and self-healing.

Description

A beautifully illustrated 54-card oracle deck that reimagines the iconic game of Lotería by using the traditional symbols for divination, reflection, and healing.

La Rosa. La Muerte. El Nopal. These are just a few of the 54 iconic symbols that appear in the beloved card game Lotería, also known as Mexican Bingo. Since reaching modern-day Mexico in 1779, the deck has seen many artful incarnations, and across Latinx cultures, it has served the multilayered purpose of practising the Spanish language, bringing loved ones together, and of course, trying our luck.

But Lotería Remedios enters the cards into the canon of cartomancy—it uses the traditional symbols for divination, reflection, and self-healing. Here author Xelena González, a member of the Tap Pillar Coahuiltecan Nation, is continuing the work of her great-grandmother, a curandera sought-after and highly respected for her abilities. Through beautiful illustrations and lyrical written remedios, La Sirena (The Mermaid) becomes an invitation to view your own magic and beauty. La Bandera (The Flag) suggests the need to wave your flag high, so that you may discover who is ready to join your cause. And the much-loved La Luna (The Moon) encourages you to look within, and understand that night will always find its morning, that the tide always changes.
