| "The Watermelon" Loteria Card |
This loteria card features a design carved into the rind of a summer watermelon. This actually isn't a new thing at all limited just to buffet tables on cruises. Although most people in North America are familiar with the classic Jack-o-lantern face carved into pumpkins, the watermelon has a rind which is more suited to the purpose.
Designs like this one have many meanings for farmers and others who depend on crops and a full harvest for their livelihood.
I'm including a more detailed analysis of the meaning of this card on the main Loteria site. Updates coming shortly!
It really was cruel to paint something so refreshing during a heatwave that is ravaging the High Desert. I think my Id was longing for something to escape the 110 degree temperatures!
Update: Loteria divination takes this card seriously, as is explained on the fortune telling site.
