Final Tidying up Phase

The Scattered Pieces are Gathered Up.
By Our Work we are Connected.
tl;dr We are now addressing any individual issues with the main fulfilment so we can complete the campaign. The ongoing fallout from the cyber-attack on the UK International postal system is still preventing me sending a handful of ROW late orders. After a slight hiatus for me to move house, work is ongoing with the Add-Ons and the Schedule for the Video Classes & Tarot Speakeasy are as previously shared and given again below for the first video class. Links will go out shortly, assuming I get my broadband reconnected on schedule.
Tidying Up Phase
We are now in the tidying up phase of the Kickstarter, where we will ensure that we follow up on any fulfilment issues from the main wave of deliveries.
If you have any queries at all, please email me at [email protected] as that is where I can best organise the responses. If you have already emailed, I will have received it, so please bear with me.
Our initial sweep of the campaign shows that whilst every deck was posted, there were a few backers that did not provide addresses for the survey, and so were not included in the initial spreadsheets when we locked the addresses prior to fulfilment.
We are receiving those few addresses now and sending out those last few decks.
Shay has identified about 6 (out of 820) parcels for US and Canada that are showing "in transit" or "return to sender" which we will keep monitored and resolve when they get back to us or are otherwise informed.
A few other non-deliveries are more problematic, such as a handful to particular countries that seem to have commonly occurring issues with mail. If we have your email about that, we will contact you shortly if we have not done so already.
Finally, we are still sitting on a small stack of “late order” parcels here in the UK labelled for “rest of world” which cannot yet be sent because of the cyber-attack on the Royal Mail. This has stopped international deliveries out for almost four weeks now, but we are keeping in the loop with the situation and will send those late orders as soon as their system allows it.
Video Classes
I am also delighted to let you know that the four video classes will commence on SUNDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2023. They will be weekly on Sundays for four weeks, likely about 9pm UK time. They will be recorded and you can watch them at any time for as long as you require, or join in on the live sessions!
I will update here and probably by email as to the invitation link, etc., for all backers.
That is about it for now – following my recent house move (hence, no weekly update last week) I am scheduled to have my broadband reconnected in time for the first video class, but I will keep you updated on that. Assuming that goes to plan, I look forward to sending out details and link for the class in the coming few days!
Thank you for your engagement with the deck, and I am looking forward to seeing you soon in class!

Fulfilment Complete

So we Did a Thing.
By Our Work we are Changed.
tl;dr All US Orders are Now Shipped and Arriving. All UK late orders have been dealt with, but the ongoing fallout from the cyber-attack on the UK International postal system is still preventing me sending ROW late orders until next week. Work is now ongoing on the Add-Ons and the Schedule for the Video Classes & Tarot Speakeasy are below.
Fulfilment Complete
I'm delighted to say that Shay has now shipped all the CAN/US decks and late orders ("pre-orders") and they have started to arrived to collective oohs and ahhs across the lands! Thank you for sharing your excitements on Facebook, please be encouraged to do so if you have not already!
This was a big job, and again our thanks to Shay for piling up her car to the roof not just once but three times back and forth to the post office!
If you have not yet received your deck, allow another week at least (particularly "rest of world") and then just get in touch with me at [email protected] and I'll sort it for you. The only couple of issues we have seen so far is where a backer did not fill in their address - or for some reason they did and the system did not register it - so it is an easy thing to sort out.
Rest of World Late Orders
I now have just 19 "late orders" for "Rest of World", which will go to the Post Office as soon as they have re-commenced international shipping from the UK. If this drags on any further, I will organise alternative couriers at our cost, if feasible. This does not affect backers, as these parcels are more recent ROW "late" orders outside of the Kickstarter.
Video Classes
I am also delighted to let you know that the four video classes will commence on SUNDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2023. They will be weekly on Sundays for four weeks, likely about 9pm UK time. They will be recorded and you can watch them at any time for as long as you require, or join in on the live sessions!
I will update here and probably by email as to the invitation link, etc., for all backers. I will let you know the details in the next weekly update as soon as I have moved to my new location and broadband line! That will also allow us time to reach anyone who may miss the first invitation link, etc.
Tarot Speakeasy
The Tarot Speakeasy "all day" open sessions will be the weekend of 18th-19th March 2023, ahead of the Spring Equinox. That will be your chance to ask me anything, and for us to go through anything you want in as much detail as you want, be it tarot or divination in general, esoteric subjects, dream interpretation, spellcasting, anything! Again, more details to follow closer to the event.
Add-Ons
I put a pause on the add-ons to ensure we got all the decks sorted, and will quickly wrap these up over the coming few weeks, as I am keen to get the material out to you in support of the classes and decks.
In the meantime, enjoy exploring and even experimenting with your deck, and I will update you next week as to the first class link and exact time, etc.
And again, with all my thanks for your support and kind words, they have infused the deck with such positivity along the way, it is a joy to see it in your hands and on your table! Thank you.
