| "The Fish" Loteria Card |
There is no question that the Fisher King is a powerful figure in most European history. The influence of the king in disguise is also present in contemporary images and philosophy. For this reason, the card dedicated to the Fisher King is not the obvious value in the suit (King), but instead appears in the Pope's Loteria Deck as a Nine. This is not by chance. The card is the most important and powerful card in the suit. The flavor of the text in the descriptions makes this clear.

| "The Palm" Loteria Card |
Most movies and cartoons which feature palm trees usually show the Caribbean variety which is smooth and banded with thin ridges up the length of the trunk. For those of use who have decided to make their homes in Southern California, we're award that palm trees have different categories.
The most attractive to my mind is the shorter and more interestingly textured variety which can produce dates. The trunk is stippled with stubby thick branches which are trimmed. If the tree is left unattended after trumming, these end pieces can grow out and make the tree look rough and hairy. It might be tempting to climb one of these things just to have the ability to say the feat has been accomplished.
