Watermelon Loteria, the Card of Summer

A watermelon is the subject of this loteria card and is used for tarot readings and fortune telling.

The Watermelon

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.
