Kind of several posts in one at the end of this week, as I’ve spent the last few days having VERY annoying tech problems on Substack which meant I couldn’t post anything at all! Now resolved, thank goodness. About flippin’ time!! So if you were wondering where on earth I and my posts have been for the past few days… well, here’s the answer.

Anyway, to follow on from the previous post several days ago now on Counting The Cards By Sevens, I wanted to demonstrate another “counting” reading not dissimilar from it. This time, however, it’s one that requires playing card references, called Counting The Cards By Threes. Cue La Vera Sibilla Italiana!

You can find out the details of the basic method here:

Counting The Cards By Threes

Essentially, what you do to get your initial group of cards is perform an initial shuffle deal the cards in triplets and look to the playing card numbers and suits in each group of three.

If, in your triplet, you have two or more cards of the same suit, you extract the one with the highest number which will then form part of the reading. If you have no cards of the same suit, you ignore that triplet. You go all the way through the deck, reshuffle and then repeat the process for at least one more round, if not two.

So!

Today, I am reading for a senior male figure (the Lord card). I’m not 100% sure which senior male figure he is, although I have an idea. The reading itself does give some clues especially as to the circumstances here, and they’re pretty scandal-related. I’d say a sex scandal, which makes me think of Epstein again, but we will see.

Here are the cards that first round. The significator, as I say, is the Lord figure. The head honcho, Lord of the Manor…

Here are the details of all the cards pulled.

The Cards Extracted

Young Woman, Servant/Maid Lover, Foe, Service, Old Woman, Pleasure Seekers (R), Priest, Surprise, Lord, Merchant, Soldier, Sweetheart, Joyfulness, Death, Melancholy, Prison, Scholar, Constancy, Sighs (R), Cheerfulness, Consolation, Frivolity, Wife, Thief, Messenger,Money

But what does it all mean, and what do the later parts of the reading tell us? Read on to find out…
