Tirada of spanish letters / meaning of spanish cards The Spanish deck emerged from the Tarot approximately in the eleventh century. In this sense, there is a lot of historical reference and even a decree of King Alfonso XI of Castile where he prohibits his game.
As for the design of Spanish playing cards, the four suits represent the four estates of feudalism: That is, the cups; the ecclesiastical arm; the swords, the noble arm; the gold, the money of the merchants, and the clubs, the farmers.
Everything seems to indicate that the Spanish deck was used for divinatory purposes, for the first time, by astrologers and it was they who gave rise to the cartomancy.

Structure
The traditional Spanish deck consists of four suits or series of cards: diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs (or suits). Each suit consists of seven or nine cards with a numerical index and three face cards (Jack or Jack, Knight and King), these are always numbered, 10, 11 and 12, respectively, regardless of the numerical chips in use (either seven or nine).
Thus, the Spanish deck can be 48 cards (from one to nine, plus three figures, per suit) or 40 cards (from one to seven, plus three figures, per suit). It is incorrect to consider card 40 as an incomplete deck, lacking cards eight and nine.
It is a different deck for specific games, but in itself it is a complete Spanish deck. We have this same case with the French 32 and 36 card decks compared to the 52 card deck.
The kings are represented by the figure of a crowned monarch, who is standing. They are usually old, bearded men, although the kings of hearts and diamonds tend to look younger. Usually the King of Hearts appears with a scepter.
The figure of the Knight, a rider riding a horse that rests on its hind legs, is the one that maintains the most characteristic iconography of the Middle Ages. In some extremely rare decks, the Knights appear dismounted, pulling the horse by the bridle.
Since the 18th century, Knights of Hearts and Diamonds have been facing to the left, while those of Cups and Spades have been facing to the right. It was also in that century that the expression “Ahí vai” (here it goes), also written “AI-VA”, appeared at the feet of the Knight of Hearts. Let us see, next, the tirada of Spanish cards.

Spanish card spread What does it consist of?
Before making a roll of spanish cards, it is necessary to move the cards: They are placed face down on a table and, with the hands, all the cards are rotated clockwise for fifteen seconds. During this process, the mind will focus on a specific question.
After that time, all the cards are put together and then shuffled as normal. Then the person who makes the query must cut the cards with the left hand and some of the following spreads are followed:
.
Pyramid Throw
It is the most suitable method for direct questions such as Will I do well in my business? Will I find a job soon? Will my boyfriend marry me? Is my husband faithful to me?
After shuffling, the querent will cut the cards in two with the left hand. The top card of the pile on the right is placed at the top of the pyramid. The top two cards of the pile on the left are placed below the vertex. The next three cards are drawn from the pile on the right and placed on the third line and so on until the seven lines of the pyramid are completed.
The reading must begin in the same order in which the cards were placed. That is, it starts from the vertex or tip of the pyramid until it reaches the base, thus developing the interpretation of the question posed.

roll of spanish cards of the enchanted circle
It can be used to answer any type of question: For this, it is necessary to shuffle the cards well and it is the consultant who cuts with the left hand. Then, one by one, 19 cards are drawn in a circle.
If a figure is drawn (a jack, a knight or a king), it is placed in the circle and the next three cards are cancelled.
Once the last card is placed in the circle, its reading begins from the first figure that has come out and then, to its right, interpreting all the others.
.
roll of spanish cards nocturnal
As its name indicates, this spread must be done only at night in front of a lit white candle. The cards are placed, face down, on the table. Then the consultant must concentrate on a question and, with eyes closed, remove the cards, turning them counterclockwise. Then, with your eyes still closed, draw 3 cards that will line up from left to right.
As soon as the three cards have been analyzed, one more is drawn, in this case clockwise, one more, called the Moon card, since it represents the recommendation or advice that night magic provides to the querent regarding their concern. Many times it can contain the key or a clue to the solution of a problem related to the question asked.
