Your Decks are Here on a Merry Solstice Morn!

OMG. OMG. OMG.

By our Work we are Changed.

Something wicked this way comes - wicked as in wickedly wonderful ... the UK/EU/ROW beginners Tarot of the Everlasting Day has just arrived in the UK bang on the Solstice! The unexpected two-week bank delay was obviously meant to put them on a more magical calendar than my workflow spreadsheet.

This is the first half of the two UK shipments, I am expecting the second batch to arrive by Friday. Whilst I have them all in the same place, I will be conducting a small Solstice ritual for them and their siblings in the US.

I also had to contact Fedex in the US today by phone to clear the US/CAN shipment to Shay, but that has now been done same day - they were really helpful - and that shipment is now passing through Anchorage!

A few days ago I paid another several thousand for the tax/duty on the UK shipment, so that means no-one should get that nasty surprise of say, a $45 deck from the US to the UK being held by Customs until you pay them another £85, which happened to me in a recent Kickstarter.

We also paid the US tax/duty/handling, on time of shipping from China, so that was already costed and covered, although there were a load of forms that had to be done and they still needed confirmation when they passed into the US.

Over the next few days I will start preparing the shipping label system and look forward to checking these decks and getting them out to you over the holidays and into the New Year! There are postal strikes here in the UK on the 23rd-24th December, and perhaps in the New Year, so I will post accordingly, in the New Year as soon as the post offices are open and the system caught up a bit.

Shay will also be sending US/CAN out in the New Year as that is an even more massive job, and I have yet to advise her on packing requirements.

A box as tall as a fridge arrived yesterday and that contained the packing envelopes, so with a good supply of toner and labels we are hopefully in the endgame now ...

Again, I would like to thank you so much for supporting this deck and making it happen, it has had a truly magical timeline which has been made possible by you. Thank you.

A very happy solstice to you and may you be able to make the most of the available light and all the light to come until the everlasting day.

I will make a short update on Friday as usual, even if just to wish you a merry Yule, or with any other updates of anything that might happen over the next couple of days.

Update Correction - US/CAN is December 2022 NOT 2023

Hello

By Our Work we are Changed.

Apologies, and thank you to Sara for being the first to let me know, I accidentally put US/CAN decks were being shipped to Shay from the printers December 21st 2023, when I meant 2022, later this month!

Not to waste a second update today, here's a tarot tip: Never be afraid to ask your tarot deck, "What is the answer to the question I should be asking and what is that question?"

Thank you!

Marcus

Everything is Connected

By Our Work we are Changed.

tl;dr The decks should now be on their way to the UK from the printers for UK/EU/ROW distribution and the US/CAN decks should also be sent on 21st December 2023. We continue in aiming to then send them out to you in the New Year.

Hello, following on from last week's update, the main news is that the printing company ran out of stock of the tins with just 300 orders left to fulfill. So, following exchanges of email early this week, it was agreed that they would ship the already complete UK/EU/ROW decks on the 15th December (yesterday) to me here in the UK as planned, and as soon as the remaining 300 decks are complete, ship the US/CAN shipment to Shay on 21st December 2023.

I have not received the shipping or tracking update yet, but I am confident they will be on their way.

I am now waiting here in the UK and staying at my place until that shipment arrives, hopefully prior to Christmas so I can go visiting during that period, otherwise I will be rolling Christmas over into the New Year for later celebration! This is probably timely, as I mentioned last update there are major postal and train strikes here in the UK, which is having a knock-on impact to all delivery companies worldwide, which were already struggling post-pandemic, and with staff shortages compounding their issues.

I'll be getting on with updates to the Guide and other add-on preparations whilst we wait and preparing to send out decks in the New Year, to get our 2023 off to a fantastic start! Thank you for your kind comments, and I totally agree - better sending things with more confidence of arrival than just throwing them into the jammed logistics system! "Fulfilment First!"

In the meantime, if you are interested in the tarot as an illustration of the western esoteric initiatory system (WEIS) that I teach, we have been running a new series on our Tarot Association Instagram with a unique guide to the early stages or grades of the Great Work. This features the use of the correspondences of the Major Arcana to the Tree of Life, with the Waite-Smith Tarot and the Golden Dawn system, hopefully made accessible as a brief introduction to beginners or a new way of looking at things for those with experience.

Tree of Life with Tarot and Grade Titles

Our next regular update will be in a week, which will be the 23rd December, just after the solstice. I hope by then to advise that the UK/EU/ROW decks have arrived with me or otherwise, and that the US/CAN decks have also been shipped from the printers.

As ever, any questions at all, I can be reached on [email protected] and will be happy to assist!
