Altar Clothes are getting printed!

Finally, the clothes are getting printed!
We have gone through several different samples of the altar clothes to find the ideal fabric and ensure the printed colors matched our color branding. Thanks to Nick's research and effort we were able to modify the colors we sent to the manufacturer to have them print to our liking. This late in the game we decided to send it to print even though it's not an exact match, so we could get this deck to your ASAP. Yall likely will not even notice the color difference, though our honed eyes are more critical of the results. This is where we let go of perfectionism and move forward with progress!
A few of you still have not done your surveys and submitted your shipping address for delivery. If that is you, then please do that now. You'll also get a follow up email from me to be sure!
Cheers as we "fall back" in time, wrapping up our autumnal nesting and harvesting period to enjoy the earlier snuggly evenings shifting to our collective winter.
Manufacturing Update

Hello friends!!
Just wanted to let you know that manufacturing is nearly finished- all of the books, boxes, and cards have been completed. We're just waiting on the altar cloths- there have been some struggles with the color matching and we have gone through a few samples. Once a sample is approved, it will be printed and sent to the manufacturer that has made all of the other parts of this project so they can be added to the boxes.
Meanwhile, my wife and I have a new tarot project that is live on Kickstarter right now. If you are into tarot and like having the warm fuzzy feeling of Christmas, check it out at HTTP://tarotchristmas.com or click the image below:
Smoke Test Has been sent!

A Smoke Test is when BackerKit sends out 5% of our surveys, just so if anything is priced wrong or misconnected, we can catch it before the surveys go out to everyone else. In a day two, we'll review the surveys we've received and after making any needed adjustments, the rest of the surveys will go out to the other 95% of backers.
Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://women.backerkit.com.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please let us know :D
Next Step: The Pledge Manager

Thank you for making our project a reality! We are moving and we are shaking! Here's the status of where we are at this stage:
On the digital logistics side, I have been building out BackerKit's Pledge Manager for this project. In a nutshell, this is a survey you'll soon receive which allows you to enter your mailing address and pay for shipping so we can send these items to you. If you're in the Tampa Bay area, there will be a free delivery/pickup option available.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
Answering your survey helps us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your crowdfunding account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.
Now, regarding production. We are working with two production partners, and production has just started with both of them. One of them, the company that produces the altar cloths, will be sending them to the other manufacturer to make sure they make their way inside the Core Set boxes. As soon as we get photos of the items, we will be sure to share them all with you!
Again, thanks for all your support. We can’t wait to send you your Women's Wheel.

A Timely Full Bloom! 🌷🌞

I continue to be amazed at how perfectly timely this project has unfolded.
I have waxed and waned with internally imposing pressure on myself to get this project "done". However, I continue to practice and apply what I actually teach in the book, which is allowing your own Divine Timing to unfold.
As some of you may have read in the last update, I have a baby on the way! Which has caused a lot of unexpected "delays" in my creative editing process. As I continue to trust in my own unique journey, while still holding myself accountable to all of you (my biggest fans and supporters) and myself to complete this much anticipated project, grace gives me everything I need in Divine Time.
This is a long-winded way of saying, edits are complete! ✨🎉 And we will be going to production this coming week! Such an example of the archetypal energy of Summer to shine! No coincidence, that the end of next week is also the start of my maternity leave from my private hands-on healing practice, which is 8 weeks before the baby's expected due date! I may as well put a little bow 🎀 on everything!
I'm thankful to Nick for being so patient in the co-creative experience of this project.
Thanks to all of you being so patient as well! Many of you have come to me for private readings in the interim, which has only added to the juiciness of this project!
If there are any last-minute requests for presale sets that you would like to gift to friends or family, please feel free to reach back to us! We will continue to relay updates to you on how the production is coming along as we receive them.
Cheers to that Summertime Fruition baby!!! 🌷🌞🥭
