"Counting The Cards By Threes". Trying Out A Traditional Counting Method To Use For Decks With Playing Card References

Trying out another traditional "counting" method which works well with Sibilla Indovina/Sibylle des Salons oracle cards

Card counting, mostly in threes, fives, sevens or nines, is a staple of traditional 19th century card-reading and divination methods.

We’ve seen in previous posts how we can use counting in large grids like Grand Tableaus or the initial grid in the Six Main Themes spread, like the one we did at the start of the month, where we counted in fives to get an initial overview message.

And we’ve tried out a similar Counting the Cards By Sevens method a few times, which works well for decks without playing card references. You can check it out in action here, firstly with the Lenormand cards for a spooky Halloween reading, and secondly with the Bohemian cards.

But today, in THIS post, (which has taken me a couple of days to write, so apologies for the delay), I’ll be demonstrating with our current month’s deck…
