Vibrating Tarot Pre-Sale Store

• What can I get in the pre-sale store? Order the Vibrating Tarot Standard Edition, the Vibrating Tarot Waterproof Edition, and the Vibrating Tarot Colouring Book PDF. Other works by Pallor Publishing are also available to order.  

• How does it work? For our pre-sale supporters, your shipping and credit card information will be collected during the check-out process, but your credit card will not be charged right away. It will be charged later on in the year before we send out our shipment of Tarot decks to all of our backers. 

• Did you say coupon code? To get $6 off your pre-sale store order (which is equivalent to an 11% discount on the Standard Edition), use this code at check-out: 6isgood

Artist Donation Update

• BackerKit is processing your pledges now. You should have received an email to confirm that your card has been charged or that further action on your part is needed in order to complete the transaction. 

• The next thing that we will do is send a survey. The purpose of the survey is to collect your shipping address, give you the opportunity to add items to your order if you want more decks than what you've pledged for, and provide you with the shipping cost for your total order. 
• Your credit card information for this second round of charges will be collected through this survey to cover any added items and shipping costs, but will not be charged until closer to actual shipping, which we anticipate to occur towards the end of the year. 
• We are shipping from Canada, and taxes, VAT fees, duties, customs, tariffs, or other international fees are not included in the shipping fees collected by the campaign. Please note that you are responsible for these charges.  
• We’re working on shipping logistics to get the best prices possible and will be able to send the surveys as soon as we have more accurate costs sorted out, which may take several weeks. We will give you notice ahead of sending out surveys so that you can watch out for the email. 

• While the vast majority of the artwork is finalized, I'm working out a few final card designs and permissions.
• I'll be travelling this summer to attend a few industry trade shows to promote the Tarot deck.
• Once the deck is finalized, the printing and manufacturing process will begin. As soon as that shipment is received, fulfillment will begin and your order will be on its way. 

• Vibrating Font is a free (for non-commercial use) pleasure product themed font that was made to be a gift for our backers and the larger community. 
• We will be emailing Vibrating Font out to you all soon. 

• Our pre-sale store is now open, and we will be in contact soon with a separate email regarding those details. 
• Access our pre-sale store here: https://vibrating-tarot.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

We will do our absolute best to stick to the timeline we outlined in our campaign story. Sometimes delays are unavoidable, and we will keep you informed all along the way, but here's hoping everything goes smoothly and according to schedule!

Thanks again,

Frank Lawrence

Our pre-sale store is set up and can be accessed at vibratingtarot.com. 

Our Tarot project benefited from many kind names along the way, and I'll do my best to highlight them all in due time.

As for today, as we step away from the crowdfunder and move to the pre-sale store, let's take a look at the campaign and the names that were directly associated with it.

Thank you to überlube for sponsoring us for 20 free bottles of lubricant, which will be en route to our first 20 backers before you know it. Überlube has invited me on the road with them in 2025. We were in Las Vegas in February, and we'll be in Burbank in July. These trips are helping our project immensely, so thanks again to their entire team.

Thank you to Mercy Whips for making the gorgeous purple and black paracord whip that was photographed for our Tarot artwork, and was given away as part of our first premium pledge level. Thank you to the backer out there who pledged for this level.

Thank you to Stitchin' Wolf Leatherworks for making the leather and suede collar that was photographed for our High Priestess card and given away as part of our second premium pledge level. Thank you to the backer out there who pledged for this level.

And thank you to the artist Vitaly, the Ukrainian artist whose company, Shaman Whips, made the leather whip that appears on the Ace of Whips card, and who illustrated the artwork that we gave away as part of our third premium pledge level. Thank you to the backer out there who pledged for this level. This part of our pledged funds goes to the artist, who is still living in Ukraine and will benefit greatly from this donation.

You'll also notice two additional prominent images in the campaign, one of the Magic Wand, and one of the We-Vibe Chorus, each with their respective Tarot card beside them...

We-Vibe was the impetus of this project. It was their product, Chorus, that gave me the idea for this entire body of work. Lovehoney Group (We-Vibe, Womanizer, pjur) invited me along to my first B2B industry trade shows as their guest and in effect debuted me to the industry. The trips they took me on were nothing short of career changing opportunities. Thank you to Lovehoney Group for their invaluable support.

Magic Wand was the fist idea that came to my mind after I initially came up with the idea for a pleasure product themed Tarot deck. I knew that this project would never take off unless I got them on board. Not only did they come on board enthusiastically, but I'm privileged to call their CEO a mentor of mine. Thank you to Magic Wand for being industry leaders.

 
There are many more names and fun updates to get to... 

Did you know that we're getting an industry fixture to write the foreword to our Tarot Guidebook?

Did you know that we're talking with some distributors that could get us into retail stores?

Did you know that before the year is out, I'll be reading cards in Toronto, Niagara Falls, Chicago, Nashville, and Burbank, California?

But before we get to all of those updates, be sure to check out our pre-sale store if you haven't already bought a deck of cards, or tell a friend to check it out if they have not yet gotten theirs. 

Our pre-sale store is set up and can be accessed at vibratingtarot.com. 

Hi everyone,

We're in the final 48 hours of the crowdfunding campaign. As the campaign winds down, we have a few new updates to share:

• We've reached our last stretch goal to add colour to the cover of the Vibrating Tarot Guidebook. Thanks to everyone who helped push us over that threshold. 

• Vibrating Tarot's crowdfunding campaign was covered by XBIZ and EAN, which is greatly appreciated in these closing days. 

• Last week, Frank was interviewed by Tarot enthusiast and energy worker Maria Elena Pakulis for the Tarot/artist-focused Past, Present, Futurecast podcast, found wherever you get your podcasts, and also available on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfCfwGbCXR0

• Earlier today, Frank appeared on Tuesdays with Tori, hosted by Tori Titus-McCrobie, a fixture of the pleasure product industry and community. Watch it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW2rrfy42rs

As we enter the final week of our campaign, we just wanted to share a few important updates:

• We reached our first stretch goal — Vibrating Tarot's Standard Edition will have reflective silver edges!  

• We're less than a hundred dollars away from our second stretch goal — help us get to $16,000 to add colour to the cover of the Vibrating Tarot Guidebook

• Each of our premium pledge levels have been backed. Thank you so much to these backers who have made such a substantial impact on our campaign.
