Third Stretch Goal UNLOCKED in just ONE Day - A Month of Beginner Tarot Classes with Marcus
about 2 years ago – Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 04:17:20 AM

Four Video Classes for All Backers

You have done it again! With your awesome enthusiasm for the Tarot of Everlasting Day, we reached our third stretch goal of £40,000 in just ONE DAY - again!

That means you now get four 1-hour video classes, which will be delivered live every week for a month, and recorded for anyone who can't get to the live delivery.

I'll take questions before the classes, during and after them, and will be able to provide most of the answers or direct you to one of our books or other resources.

The classes will be particularly for nervous beginners, but our teaching style and methods are so unique that most experienced readers are also sure to find something new in our material.

I'm so excited I'll get to virtually see everyone once the decks are in your hands, and together we can really explore the everlasting day.

Please do continue - and indeed, be encouraged to - share the campaign to your social circles, as this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to really get to grips with tarot and all its wonders.

Watch out for our next stretch goal in the next hour, let's see if we can share it out enough to get it included for everyone within a day!

Thank you, thank you and thank you again, you're awesome!

May a full deck of possibilities be yours,

Marcus

Fourth Stretch Goal Revealed - Printed Pamphlet or Booklet with Deck
about 2 years ago – Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 04:12:39 AM

Printed Pamphlet or Booklet

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for engaging with our last stretch goal, by sharing the Kickstarter page and smashing through our third goal within just ONE Day!

That means I'll be seeing you all for a month - in four hourly doses, one per week, which is safest for you, allowing recovery time from my bad jokes and abstract puns.

So, once the deck is in your hands, I'll be offering those four video classes, taking questions, teaching techniques, tips and methods, and giving insight into every card in the deck.

You have made that possible to factor in by sharing the campaign and being excited about it, bringing others to support us, and believing in me, for which I am beyond grateful.

Now our next stretch goal seems somewhat obvious, buuuuuttt ... it's one that has been the ruin of many a poor boy, so to speak.

Adding a pamphlet or booklet to a deck is a bit more complex in terms of production, logistics and shipping, also in terms of assembly. It is also something that can get out of hand if not taken as a typesetting and editing project in itself.

Further, it can add to shipping size, weight, and general handling, beyond a simple "deck in a box".

So, we're setting this again with one overall stretch goal amount to reach, but the reward will be a "minimum" of a 8-fold pamphlet (similar to many other decks) with the "possibility" of something more - such as a 16-page saddle-stitched booklet.

Hope that makes sense! 

Basically, we're aiming for a stretch goal of £44,444 (all the fours!) to guarantee a printed pamphlet, and within that we will attempt to cost and test the best we can offer without exceeding the next weight limit for your parcels, or available typesetting time.

Too many projects have rushed to offer such stretch goals, and then when they get shipped from the manufacturer, have underestimated additional costs, customs, fees, etc., and then find that they cannot even afford to send them out because the weight/size has shifted from their original costings to a higher cost, multiplied by hundreds of parcels or even thousands.

So ... our next stretch goal is £44,444 for a printed pamphlet - and potentially, a stitched booklet, which we will start investigating tomorrow and keep you in the loop.

The deck is already going to come with a link to a PDF version of the pamphlet/booklet, but it would be so great to have that printed for you and in your package when it arrives!

We can do this! Whatever it is! Onwards! Go share!

May a full deck of possibilities be yours,

Marcus.

Tarot of Everlasting Day Awarded a Kickstarter Project We Love!

Project We Love

The Tarot of Everlasting Day has just been awarded a "Project We Love" by Kickstarter staff, which is given to "highlight brilliant examples of creativity," within the first few days of the campaign!

This automatically places a "Project We Love" badge on our campaign header and thumbnail, and puts it at the top of listings in our category! I am delighted and totally surprised to receive this recognition!

I would like to thank you all for backing the project, engaging in the comments and by messages, which I have been replying to every day and for your invaluable feedback on the deck. I take every comment into consideration, so we can all arrive at the best deck possible for a lifetime of readings.

We are already almost at our third stretch goal - a month of online tarot classes with myself - and I would ask you again to share the project just once today on your own socials, particularly for people who might be looking to know more about tarot, or are a beginner that would like an accessible yet deep dive into tarot right from the start.

May a full deck of possibilties be yours,

Marcus.

Third Stretch Goal Revealed - One Month Video Beginner Tarot Course
about 2 years ago – Tue, Sep 27, 2022 at 01:53:24 AM

Four Class Everlasting Day Course with Marcus Katz

NEXT STRETCH GOAL

Our next stretch goal is a weekly hour video class for four weeks with Marcus, live online, for absolute beginners to experienced readers, teaching our Tarosophy 3-minute method and 10-minute method of learning tarot, and the depths of every card in the 130-card Tarot of Everlasting Day.

Very few people can teach "from out of their head" in real-time, and be able to answer any question about the tarot - it's history, symbolism, kabbalah, esotericism, mysticism, practical everyday reading, the thoth tarot, waite-smith tarot, even lenormand and the waite-trinick tarot, and every nuance of divination, in a fun and friendly fashion, forged from forty years in a lifetime of tarot.

So, if we can reach £40,000 in total funding, Marcus will pledge to go live with everyone once a week for a month, teaching you quickly how to handle anything the tarot will throw you - and how to get the most out of your Everlasting Day deck. This will be aimed at absolute beginners, but even experienced readers may learn a lot more than they might expect!

That's easily within our sights, so please continue to share the campaign as widely and often as possible, and with enough interest, this extended course will be made available for everyone.

May a full deck of possibilities be yours,

The Tarot Association.
