- Update as of Nov 26th -

Decks are Printing

Hope that you all had a good past few days, holiday if you celebrated, but I was asked by a backer for an update. Not much to update progress wise but there is a video!

Production has began and Ive asked my printer to send me a video of the process to keep the excitement going. Decks are being printed and should be ready to package and ship overseas to me so I can get them to you. This video makes me so happy to see because not only does it meant we are almost done, but the cards look so pretty!!!

As of now there isn't much update on the time frame but here is a reference. I feel like they will be here before I know it and I'll begin shipping out.

• Shipping Time from printer to Me: Expected Mid January with no delays 
• Processing Time on my end: Estimated Late Jan-Mid Feb I am aiming for a max turn around of 2-3 weeks, aiming to have them all done within 2 weeks. I will begin shipping as soon as I receive the decks on my end.

All extras for the decks are ready to go, just waiting for these so I can begin sending out my magic. All backer rewards are here and ready as well as the add-ons. I can't wait!

Many blessings and thanks witches,

I am honestly beyond grateful for each of you, you support for this project and my business means more to me than you can possibly know.

  Dark Reflections Tarot Deck & Journal

Embrace your shadow self with Dark Reflections Tarot Deck!
Dark Reflections is a beautifully illustrated tarot deck and journal designed with shadow work in mind. This is why you might like this deck:

•  IT’S DESIGNED FOR SHADOW WORK: Shadow work is designed to help you  integrate and accept every single part of yourself so that you can live  and thrive with more clarity and authenticity.
•  IT’S AN INTERESTING ARTWORK CONCEPT: Dark Reflections tarot deck defies the  tradition and focuses on the reversed meaning of the cards.

Let the Magic Begin! 

Exciting news witches. I'm going to keep it simple and to the point; 

I am beyond thrilled to say that all files have been looked over and have been approved for printing. My printer has already green-light it and will begin production shortly. I asked for an updated ETA for printing and decks to be shipped/arrive to me.

• Production Time: Beginning Printing Right Away expected to finish by early/mid Dec
• Shipping Time: Expected Mid January with no delays
• Processing Time on my end: Estimated  Late Jan-Mid Feb I am aiming for a max turn around of 2-3 weeks, aiming to have them all done within 2 weeks. I will begin shipping as soon as I receive the decks on my end and I have a few friends who are interested in helping me assemble these decks and ship them out as soon as possible. 

I am so excited for this news I know it has been awhile but were finally here! Decks are getting printed and assembled as I type this update! Decks will be in your hands before you know it.

November Update 🙌
about 2 years ago – Wed, Nov 02, 2022 at 10:26:31 PM

Welcome to Scorpio Season!

I wanted to post an update as I have some news on my end. I received the sample decks and they look amazing. I only had a few cards to edit and some spots on the deck box. The card edits have already been sent and approved and i am awaiting on a video sample for the box for the okay on production.

I know this has taken awhile and there have been some hiccups in the process but I can guarantee that it will be well worth the wait. I am also including some extras for this delay. I will be adding the following items to every backer; 

• Inner Witch Tarot Challenge created and contributed by TarotAdventuresWithJules
• Inner Witch Tarot Spread Workbook created and contributed by Tarot_Nerds

If you want to see a flip through of the deck, box and guidebook I posted one on my instagram page take a look, leave a comment and tag a friend.

Personal Update

I quit my job last week and i got sick this week. However, I am able to  dive into my business full time now and create even more amazing tools  and magical items. I left my job at Starbucks of 8 years and have a new  sense of freedom and appreciation of my energy, my time and become aware  of my surroundings. . I have multiple items planned I want to release as well as future decks and with my newfound free time and extra energy I will be working on expanding and growing my business. Needless to say I am beyond thrilled for this new chapter to begin. What better way to embrace Scorpio Season?

As an extra freebie and thank you I am providing you with my Scorpio Season Spread that exclusive to Patreon Members. I suggest you do a journal entry with this spread as well for better  and deeper understanding. Feel free to pull extra cards for  clarification as needed.

Thank you again for all of your support. I cannot wait to begin shipping these decks and get them in your hands! Many blessings to you all,

Joseph

Sample Printing Update!
about 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 12, 2022 at 11:09:19 PM

Making Progress~

My printers have gotten back form their holiday and have sent me some sample videos of the deck box and the guidebook. The guidebook edges have been perfected and look stunning. I am beyond thrilled for this guide. I did notice on the video of the box that there are some places that need editing due to the updated "True Black" chosen by the printer to ensure the darkest and purest consistent black throughout. I actually believe this is the same color True Black, Arthur Wang uses as that was a sample image she sent me. I plan on spending today editing the needed images and parts of the box. 

The sample decks are ready minus the pullout ribbon, as they forgot to include it. However she told me she can send a sample puce of the chosen ribbon instead of waiting an additional 4-5 days to attach it and ship out. I approved this choice and am expecting the samples this weekend if not mid next week From there i will inspect and review the deck in its entirety before approving for final production.

I sincerely appreciate the patience, believe me i want this deck as bad if not more than you all do. Good things take time and the Virgo in me is a perfectionist (as my printer has mentioned) and I don't want I send out something i am not 100% satisfied with. I take pride in my creations what i put out into the world. please enjoy the videos below and let me know your thoughts.

Blessings Witches,

October Printing Update!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Oct 03, 2022 at 02:53:22 AM

I wanted to provide an update as I have heard from my printer. They told me they were having issues with the black backgrounds and making sure they are true black. With this they went in and adjusted files as needed. This is from my printer;

"The samples should be ready after their holiday which is 10/1-10/5. The cards and boxes were almost done. We were waiting for the booklets because one was failed to print out nicely at first and we spent 2-3 days revising the inside pages black color for the plates to print."

She also sent me a video! So, without further ado, here's the printing process so far. I am so excited, seeing this really makes me happy and tickles my bones.

 They look so pretty! I am sure this video is equally as satisfying for you as it is for me. I will be sure to update when i get the sample deck.

Blessed October witches,

Joseph
