THE COUNTING CARDS DECK - Bridge size
An original Elowenwald Oracle Deck
£21.00
Counting Cards is a 52-card traditional, straightforward divination deck translated and recreated from a divination tool from my childhood practice.
There are no spreads to memorise and no elaborate symbolism to decode. You shuffle, you count, and the cards fall into seven positions—each one answering through placement as much as meaning.
This is a practical form of divination, designed to give clear, down-to-earth insight rather than spectacle. The structure does the work. Chance, repetition, and timing shape the message. Anyone could read these cards, no prior "skill" or spiritual tuning required.
Each card carries its meaning directly, allowing the reading to unfold without a guidebook. Begin with what is written, notice where it lands, and let the pattern speak. When the reading is complete, the tradition asks for one final step: a simple moment of thanks.
Counting Cards is for those who value clarity, rhythm, and old wisdom that doesn’t need to raise its voice.
What’s Included
52 divination cards
Bridge size (compact, easy to shuffle)

Packaging
This deck comes in a plain white box, chosen to minimise inks, coatings, and excess packaging.
The simple design keeps materials recyclable and reduces environmental impact, letting the focus remain on the cards themselves.
How to Use
Shuffle the cards and start counting them by placing them in front of you, face up, in a pile: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 (there is no number 11).
When the number shown on the card corresponds to the number you count, place the card in each of the 7 positions. Continue the count until all 7 positions have a card. For example: you start counting, 1, 2, 3, and when you reach 4, the card is 4 of hearts. Place the 4 of hearts in the first of the seven positions. Continue the count: 5, 6, 7, 8. The 8th card is 8 of spades. Place the 8 of spades in the second of the seven positions. If the cards finish before you reach number 14 in the count, retrieve the pile of cards in front of you and continue the count from where you left off. For example, if the deck finished on number 8, continue the count with number 9. To interpret the cards, start with the meaning written on them, in correspondence to their place on the 7 positions. These cards offer a down-to-earth, accessible insight. Remember to thank the cards for their help at the end of the reading!
The 7 positions:
1. Personal issues/your focus
2. At home/around you
3. Certainties/immutable
4. What's for later on
5. The unexpected
6. What happens by chance
7. Surprise
