 Prepping the rest of the pre-orders today and tomorrow. Here’s a peek at the set!
I’m already hearing from folks who are receiving the first batch in Portland and on the East coast. Wow, they are flying to you! So grateful for USPS and how hard they are working to get our mail to us!  This first batch of Lua Tarot (and Lenormand) pre-orders are going to the post office today.
You may have already received an email with tracking information for your pre-order. If so, please know that your order may not go out until Monday or Tuesday. Thank you for your support, patience, and understanding.  Great news! One of the packages of the Lua Tarot decks were just delivered! I’m still waiting on 12 more boxes, which are supposed to be here Monday. I’m going to start packing these up soon...in the order that pre-orders were placed. Thank you for your patience through this process!
I’m so happy with how they turned out! I’ll post a video walkthrough and photos soon.  Lua Tarot Wheel of Fortune Hello and how are you on this Libra New Moon on the ides of October? I hope you're at least thriving on a silver lining wherever you are.
This post is meant to brief pre-orderers on the Lua Tarot. If you pre-ordered please make sure to read ABOUT SHIPPING below. I received an update from our Lua Tarot production liaison:  Lua Tarot and Lenormand Reading Mercury Retrograde is today at 6:05pm PDT and Mercury Stations Direct on election day this year!
The last time Mercury Stationed on an election day was in the 2000 election, but Mercury Stationed RX that year. If you remember, the voting punch machines in Florida were not functioning correctly, and we saw a national debacle around “hanging chads” which ensued for weeks before Al Gore conceded on Dec 13th.  Pre-Order Update: Lua Tarot decks are still en route. I'm expecting them to arrive at my front door sometime between October 16th to 19th. Tracking is not showing date of delivery yet. I'll let you know the exact date of arrival when I know.
If you're interested in the Lua Tarot, Pre-orders are still open! I’ll be closing them next week to prepare shipments. Thank you for your patience and support!  Lua Tarot Magician Do you believe in magic? Today’s Full Moon tarot card is the Lua Tarot's Magician.
October skies will bless us with two magical Full Moons: today and Halloween, a true blue moon. It has been a rough couple of weeks. We’re seeing extra tension in the world thanks to Mars retrograde. But, we have a chance to step out of the conflict of warrior Mars and return to our central inner power.  Lua Tarot Hermit “The happiness of man consists in life. And life is in labor...The vocation of every man and woman is to serve other people.” —Lev Tolstoy
Blessed New Moon in Virgo! Here we have the Lua Tarot Hermit who is: the Prophet of the Eternal and the Magus of the Voice of Power, ruled by Virgo. The Hermit thrives in solitude, but she is service-oriented, connecting to humankind with deep compassion.  Lua Tarot's Ace of Cups and The World “Water is the mother of the vine, the nurse and fountain of fecundity, the adorner and refresher of the world.” –Charles Mackay
“Always be like water. Float in the times of pain or dance like waves along the wind which touches its surface.” –Santosh Kalwar The sky here has been filled with smoke and will continue to hover for more days to come. “What can we do?” I asked the cards.  Lua Tarot Ten of Wands Gutted about the fires, so I shuffled for a message from the Lua Tarot and pulled the Ten of Wands. Sigh. Burnout could not be more literal here.
“Unprecedented” seems to be the word for 2020! Several of our friends were evacuated from their homes. We opened our home to dear friends and their two beloved cats. What a terrifying and stressful time for them and everyone affected by these fires.  Blessed Full Moon! Tonight's Full Moon in Pisces (10:22PM PDT) is ripe for heart-opening magic, beaming compassion and love down to Earth. I invite you to cast and charge this Tarot Spell to raise the energies of unity and healing during these times of upheaval.
Calling all witches, mages, and practitioners of the healing and mystical arts! I invite you to erect this tarot spell, during the Pisces Full Moon, onto your altar or reading table to raise the energies of unity and healing during these times of upheaval. In the name of Oneness against the forces of division.  Incorporating multiple decks in a spread brings unique dimensions to readings! I love and use the Sovereign Oracle, by my dear friend Theresa Pridemore, in this way. In this reading I combine it with the Lua Tarot.
I don’t do as many personal readings for myself as I used to. I much prefer to receive a reading from a friend, but I received an incredibly potent reading with this combo I wanted to share!  Lord of Prudence. “In the shade of an old tree, a carpenter is refining his pieces for his project. He guides the planer with focus and care. The Eight of Coins is the artisan card and shows someone who is working happily to improve their craft. It affirms an emerging talent and ability to work alone in a craft or business venture with great skill and self discipline. This card is affirming the power of fine-tuning your technique and bringing attention to detail. Meticulous repetition can be boring but it’s with constant rehashing that one improves their skills. It’s what elevates one from the serious student to the master.”
Text and Eight of Coins from the new Lua Tarot deck. Copyright © Maree Bento. All rights are reserved.  Printed out the Lua Tarot box top using my home printer to get a 3D idea of how it will look. This is close to how it should turn out. The bottom part of the box (or the back of it) will have the deck info, so the box can be left on display without branding clutter.
I’ve just approved the designs and the booklet to move forward into production! Lead time, however, is up to 35 days. I’m preparing pre-orders. If you’re interested in this deck, please stay tuned.  Sun is in Leo now, and it’s officially Leo Season with the Leo moon today too (through 4:40pm PDT) should bring a blast of creativity, and playful energy. And let’s be honest, some drama too, it is Leo after all!
The Strength card is from the upcoming Lua Tarot. It’s basically done! Booklet is in editing mode, and I’m now working on the box art. Cards are at the printer, and I’m waiting on the proof. Yay!  I have been working with the Lua Tarot’s test copy and getting the details sorted out. I am looking forward to completing this project and getting it out to you. Almost there!
The mini book is almost done (at 160 pages), still writing the Swords and Coins suits. The rest of the booklet is written, and will go into editing phase right after I’m done with the Coin suit’s descriptions. Those are jasmine flowers from our garden. I wish you could smell the scent wafting through the space. Jasmine is so magical! A friend of mine recently said that god must smell like it.  This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is exact tonight at 9:44pm PDT in Capricorn. It’s the USA’s birthday too, and it has been experiencing major difficult times. I keep talking about shadow work in my astrology posts, but, it’s a Capricorn Lunar Eclipse, and he rules the Devil card, so it comes up again!
The Devil card is about the shadow and the ego. He shows us where we have attachment and fear. It’s the card of materialism and being addicted to stuff, like money. It’s also the card of bondage and enslavement. |
