Yeah! I just read it!

I think I will be among the first half since I backed at the beginning 🙂

Email update today that the first half of the decks has arrived with her, and the second half should follow soon.  Shipping to begin next week, in "backer order" - seems fair.

I am really looking forward to seeing the different colors. After checking my backer number, I think I will receive my order very soon. 😁

My package arrived today. I was excited to receive the key in my package. I have the coin and I know the key was an error in packaging, but I am happy to have it.

!!! OH MY GOODNESS it's LOVELY. I think I went with the blue, I am kind of regretting not getting lavender. Ah well.

 

Can't wait. 😄

Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing!

I didn’t know there was a key offered, it’s lovely. French Lavender on a feminine note fits very well the deck imo; I'll be happy with Robin Egg Blue though!

I'll probably receive mine next week; at best with international shipping, it’s 7 days on my side.

The Robin's egg blue is truly beautiful. Once the lavender was a definite addition to the color choices, I knew I had to add it, too, so that I could then pick which one I want to keep. Probably both, for now anyway. They are both really pretty.

 

The key was sent in error. It was supposed to be the coin. He tried to capture them all before the shipments went out once he realized it, but some of the earlier ones where missed. 🙂

Just checked - I am number 466 - going to be a while  . . . .

Hmm... I am #27 and live only a couple states away so I think I did get the package pretty quickly. Hope you receive it reasonably soon.

Five days is pretty good. Rick really knows how to put together a campaign. Love the Robin's egg blue.

[Decan]

Yes, that's great!

He revised as well the LWB regarding the few cards he modified (I checked); that's fine!

And for Yes-No questions now that I have the coin, the future won't keep its secrets from me any more 🤩

I love this. True!

 

I hadn't thought to check the LWB. I guess I just assumed he would, but good point that he may not have. He does seem very thorough. Now to enjoy the deck. 

[Decan]

The LWB is well done; information are concise but enought to understand the artist's choices regarding symbols, and that helps to read this deck.

I read it like a RWS Tarot because of the keywords which follow the structure of this deck and are traditional, but as well as an oracle because of its unconventional and quirky visual representations.

So finally I kept the 4 additional cards with the 78 for this deck.

It's all about qUirKinesS 🙃 but in the good way, and it reads well!

Thank you for sharing all of this. It is helpful as I have not stretched myself outside of the more common RWS representations and symbols, but this deck is so beautifully designed I was moved to try it.

sits fondling the graphite choice 🙂 It really is lovely. As always I make sure each card is included, and found my 6 of Cups has three folds? cracks? rumples? running down it so I've written Rick to see if he has broken decks in hand or if I have to return the deck, I hope not. Funny how once something is in hand it becomes my precious... because I may have to return it, I haven't shuffled it yet, but I'm itching to! 

 

And I'm thinking about the round phrenology oracle 🙂 

 

edited to add: Rick responded within hours to my query about the blemished 6 of Cups and it is already in the mail to me. Very nice! It took literally Months and multiple contact to get the same result out of Magic Realist.

Mine has been here a week or so. It's very beautiful but I'm finding it a bit silent. It's impossible to view the images without seeing all the words - which bothers me more than I realised it would - and the cards don't, for me, speak to each other as they lay side by side.

I'm not sure if this is a keeper or not for me.

Anyone else got reviews of how it's working for them?
