Hi everyone! Not too much to report except that we are now just about halfway through the campaign time--15 days down, 15 to go. At 66% funded we're still fairly on track, but we need to pick up the momentum a little to really make it happen! Thank you so much to all of you for backing and sharing the campaign--if you could continue sharing it, that would mean the world to me. I really want to get these decks in your hands :)
Also, on a fun note, if you follow me on social media you may notice I've been doing 2-card daily readings with the Numinous Tarot for everyone recently!
Example of a daily focus reading. Click to read the interpretation on Instagram!
Twitter (although these ones are shorter, they still get the point across)
One note about these readings is that they are intended to be "things to focus on today" rather than "things that will happen today." I think, in general, this is more helpful and much less likely to cause anxiety if "negative" cards pop up--for example, today's reading was The Tower and The Shadow (The Devil). That'd be very scary if it was a "what will happen today," but instead it's about how we can focus on breaking away from our fears of the unknown!
Here's today's full reading for you:
The Tower + The Shadow focus reading for 12/20/18
Focus cards for today with the Numinous Tarot: THE TOWER + THE SHADOW. I won't lie, when I pulled these 2 cards I felt a jolt of fear! Even after reading tarot for 15 years, some cards still spook me. I think that's part of the message today: our fears, especially of the unknown & unexpected, can bind us up so tightly we can't move or see anything else. We obsess over being "ready" for the next "bad thing" to happen, particularly when things are going good...we get suspicious.
But unexpected "bad" things are no more likely to happen than good ones, even if it feels that way. If you find yourself caught up in a web of fear today, do whatever you need to cut yourself free of those bonds. Whatever the future holds, we can trust ourselves to survive it, no matter what it holds & especially when we're all together.
Hope you're all having a good Thursday, and happy Solstice tomorrow, whether it's Winter or Summer for you! <3
Best, Noel
First Week + Giveaway!

Hello everyone!
First of all, thank you so so much to everyone who has backed the campaign so far! I'm incredibly grateful to you all, and I can't wait to get these decks out into the world and into your hands.
Many of you have been sharing the Kickstarter link on social media, which is also wonderful. If you have a little time, I would super appreciate people continuing to share it! The influx of pledges has slowed down considerably since the first push--I need about 8 new pledges per day at the average pledge amount ($53) through the end of the campaign in order for it to fund, but I'm currently only getting about 5. The more people share it, the more people are reached and the better chance we have to fund!
I have my own strategies for this of course, and one of them is a Twitter and Instagram giveaway! The giveaway is for either a free copy of the deck* OR a 13-card Year Ahead reading from me ($65 value).Please feel free to enter on both sites by RTing/reposting.
Example of Year Ahead reading.
The giveaway lasts until Saturday January 5, 2019, 7pm Pacific Time, right before the Kickstarter ends.
Two winners (one for each site) will be announced on each site and through my mailing list on Sunday January 6, 2019.
International entries ok!
Multiple entries ok! It increases your chances,but you can only win once.
If you are backing the Kickstarter to get a deck and end up winning, you can either get a SECOND free deck* (on top of the one you paid for) or the Tarot reading. I will not count the win as a way to refund your pledge.
*The free deck is only a prize option if the Kickstarter funds successfully, as I have no more current stock. If the Kickstarter does not fund, both winners will receive the Tarot reading as a prize.
You can also follow me on those accounts (@noelarthurian) for more updates concerning the Kickstarter and my other work.
Another small note! Some people asked if it was possible to add the holographic Lovers print as an add on. This is not currently possible, as I have very limited stock, but I do intend to make it a stretch goal if we reach $19,000.
Again, thank you so much! Twenty-three days to go, let's make it together!
