Tarot of Echoes

Hi everyone and happy August! 

 

Wow! Summer has gone by quite fast, I can’t believe we’re almost close to Halloween!!

I hope you’re all doing well and staying healthy. I know this is a trying time for many of you. Some of you might have kids ready for the start of the school year, I can sympathize. It will certainly be interesting.

This month has been a blur, however I’m on a good track with the Tarot of Echoes.

 

We’re done with the Major Arcana and are officially into the Suit of Swords! 

I love the Suit of Swords, it’s my favorite. I think that’s why I always start with it. This month brought 3 new cards. Ace, Two and Three of Swords. 

 

I’ve decided to not include the cups, swords etc in the cards. I’ve done that in the past and it worked, however I think

The Tarot of Echoes needs a bit of breathing space and it is a more fluid deck. You can convey the same messages without showing 10 cups or 3 actual swords.

Oracle of Echoes Pre-Orders

I’m awaiting the rest of the shipment as we speak! I received a number of boxes and they’re still coming. So, as of today I have started shipping out your decks 😀 You might have noticed some of you have gotten their tracking numbers. Give it a few days. I'm printing packing slips and wrapping up the decks. 

I’m starting from July and working my way up to August. That’s how I work, it just makes more sense.

I normally do 2 pre-orders per year, every 6 months give or take a few. There will be some decks left after I ship out the 

pre-orders but not many. I’ll be announcing on my social media platforms once the remaining decks are listed. We’re talking weeks.

 

Shipping issues.

There appears to be a big lag in shipping. This is happening everywhere regardless of the carriers being used or countries. It’s an international issue that is unfortunate but predictable, since the epidemic has affected all aspects of our lives.

Therefore, please be patient, decks that normally take 2 weeks to arrive can now take 2 months. And i’m not kidding. Then there are times when the packages arrive on time. 

Within the US it’s been slow but tolerable. Packages are still logged and tracked. But there are times when it appears they aren’t moving for weeks. In these 

instances it can mean that the carrier has not scanned the package at the appropriate checkpoint. That doesn’t necessarily mean it hasn’t moved at all.

Bonestone & Earthflesh Tarot

I’m happy to say the deck is fully printed. Box, book, cards. That’s a BIG movement in the right direction. What’s left is the shipping. Due to the current international issues with the mail, I am aware that shipping to India from China is a problem. Avalon is looking into different way around the problem. I don’t have any specifics to share.I receive a lot of questions about how to pre-order a deck or get ahold of one. Pre-orders have been closed for years. Right now the only way to receive a deck is to get on Avalon’s mailing list. She will be the ONLY one selling these decks. I'm just the illustrator for the deck. I will not be carrying them in my shop.

See link below. I don’t know how many will be available.

PTHWRK Tarot

Well, I try to keep busy! So Yes! there is another project that I’m working on. It’s a meditation deck called PTHWRK it in collaboration with Daniel Ahean from YourZenLife. You might have seen me post images from it on my instagram. It will be a system that will focus on Noble Tara (Vajrayana Buddhism) as a tool for training in the brahmavihara (Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Equanimity, Sympathetic Joy). 

The deck will consist in 28 cards and will include guided meditations on each card - known as Pathworkings - this practice allows for a deeper and more powerful experience. We’re looking to finalize it by the end of this year. 

 

That’s it for now :)

I wish you all many blessings and good health!
