Loves!!

I’m writing with tears in my eyes. It feels so beautiful to share this third Kickstarter with you. It feels different than the others because this is my first project that does not follow any pre-existing structure (like the tarot with its archetypes). 

This means you’re trusting me with an entirely new process and energy. It has been incredible to share the experience, questions, decisions, and doubts with my Patreon over the last few years. And now sharing it here with you feels like the biggest hug I could receive, energetically, just so full and warm, like you’re embracing all of me without fully knowing what it is I’m offering you. I’m crying more now. And a laugh came out too, before this second downpour. 

I just want to thank you with all of my being. As an independent artist, your support is truly everything. This work could not exist without your financial, heart-centered support. I want you to know that I feel you. And even if I can’t name each and every one of you, I carry so much love and good energy for you. Sending it across the 47 countries that showed up this month. And this love is forever, always. 

Thank you!! ❤️‍🩹❤️ You’re helping heal my heart too. 

I wanted to screen shot all of the countries to add them to this update but divine timing, I got totally sick last night with food poisoning and was up until 9:30am. I managed to sleep two hours and woke up a half hour after our campaign ended. (So I’m typing this on my phone in bed. 🙈) 

I’m totally blown away by the support. I feel hopeful, so held, and ready to finish our deck, the new bonus cards included. 

I have a big ceremony tomorrow. Maybe I’ll be able to share photos with you. I’m going to try to sleep off this sickness and be back here with you on Sunday. 

Thank you for being here and thank you for participating throughout. This co-creation process is pure magic to me. I can’t wait to see where we end up. 

All my love,

🌈 Mari


P.S. I’ve received questions about adding items after the campaign. I’m using Backerkit for the first time and will have a better idea of how that all works by early next week. Someone also asked about removing items, and I’m really not sure because campaign funds are managed by Kickstarter and anything after is managed by Backerkit. All I know for sure is that you can add items after. If anyone else has info to share, please do. I’ll figure everything out and give you details as soon as I can. 🙏🏽

Y'all, running a campaign requires at least six brains and I'm working with what feels like half of one!! 🤭

I almost forgot to add the mini Gentle Tarot booklet that we reached via Stretch Goal $90k!! 

PLEASE NOTE that this little booklet is already included for free for ALL rewards and Add-Ons that include any of the three Gentle Tarot editions! 🎉

I'm making it available for those who already own the Gentle Tarot and requested that it be made available for purchase on its own.

I will be back after some sleep! TOMORROW IS IT! I can hardly believe it!!! 😭 🥰

Thank you so much for being here with me!! I can't wait for the rest of this beautiful, colorful ride together.

My whole heart,

💗 Mari
