their name is actually 'tuesday' in any language you so choose. i don't know what's the significance of tuesday for them, but they picked it anyway.
we got "martes" from chris punsalan's late grandmother (may god rest her soul)—sometimes i watch his shorts about his grandma. they speak in kapampangan; and "martes" means tuesday in kapampangan. (and as a note; martes picked their name long before chris' grandma passed away. we mourned her when we heard the news of her passing).
martes themself is the "tarot of the divine" deck by yoshi yoshitani. i only read them upright (no reverse cards).
they click well for me. it's easy to lose myself in the cards and read them intuitively.
they have a good balance of pragmatism and encouraging intuition. not the most straightforward deck but they do get to the point rather than being cryptic; which i really appreciate. they're the best at giving advices and suggesting things to move forward to in the future. they work well for continuous long reading sessions. i've used martes quite often to sus out events, entities, and visions.
martes also works well with others; meaning, they're not picky with the people they read from. i have a friend with a very picky deck for some reason (we're both stumped on why) and would pull out annoyed/anger cards. even ceres, my past main and first deck, occassionally has a hard time reading certain people (due to distances or just murky situations, etc) and would give me confused cards. martes surprises me because they almost never have that problem, even on long distances. i'd ask them to read on someone and they would chirp "okay!", before slinking away to immediately tap into that person. i want to say martes works like water; they fill out cups no matter the shape nor size.
martes doesn't like to be shuffled quickly (unlike ceres, who has to be shuffled quickly). i get a better reading when my shuffling is smooth/fluid (water analogy again haha). i reshuffled them a lot on the first few times to really get a feel of it.
they usually have a lot to say, so i'd pull a minimum of 6 cards in one go. eventhough i can summarise the words anyway into something shorter—i prefer the elaboration than none at all. it's rare for me to just pull 1 card from martes (but not impossible). i don't have a rigid divination spread for martes due to this nature. i just let them overexplain and then i'll try to pull the red strings together to make a coherent summary.
my favourite card from them is the two of cups; it depicts gilgamesh and enkidu.
