HAUNTED: A Cursed Appalachian Tarot Deck

Created by Genevieve Barbee-Turner

Add on a tarot deck! Each tarot deck has silver gilded edges and comes in a magnetic closure box and includes one guidebook that fits into the tarot box. The guide includes stories that inspired the cards and meanings of each card. **Due to fluctuating global shipping rates, we will be charging shipping fees at a later date. Your payment information is required to complete your survey.
We will keep you updated through Kickstarter Updates for when shipping fees will be applied to your pre-order. Thank you for your understanding!**

Support Ending May 13th, 2024 || Make sure you're good to go!

Hello Tarot Fans! I hope y'all are well :)

At this point in the campaign 92% of the pledges are fulfilled! 

The past month or so I've been sending out the reminding packages I had to folks who needed to update their payment information. I'd like to start focusing on my next two decks so I'm sunsetting support for the HAUNTED campaign on May 13th, 2024. After that I will stop bugging you for your information. If you paid for a deck but not shipping, it will chill in my studio for another year. I can't promise to fulfill the cloth map and poster map add-ons if you haven't updated your BackerKit survey or payment information by May 13th, 2024. 
 
That sounds really harsh, but what I mean to say is, I've been reaching out to people for a few months with the information that I have on file and either the email bounces or I don't hear back. It gets to a point where I have no other option than to move on. I'm so sorry! 
 

I really want to get everyone their stuff!

This week I'm making a last ditch effort to the people who haven't filled out their BackerKit survey or updated their payment info. I especially I'm trying to reach the couple people who were charged for a tarot deck and just need to cover shipping costs. I'm hoping this final update reaches you!
 
If you are one of the handful of stragglers please fill out the survey and/or provide your updated payment info if you want your rewards. Even if your pledge didn't go through during the initial campaign, I can collect it via BackerKit along with shipping which is pretty cool! If you changed your mind and aren't interested, that's cool too :)
 

Tarot Readings & Tarot 101 Sessions

For those who still need to schedule Tarot 101 sessions or Tarot Readings, Sarah has been working diligently to reach out about scheduling and I've sent out follow up messages. I know things are busy (believe me, I really do). Please help us fulfill our promise to you!
 

Thank you!

This has been such a journey and honestly... I'm inspired to fund my future decks using this platform. Stay tuned for what is next! If you wanna read more go here: https://killerpancakeillustration.com/blogs/news/the-next-tarot-projects

Fulfillment Fulfilled!! Tarot Readings & Tarot 101 info
7 months ago – Wed, Feb 21, 2024 at 01:38:13 PM

Hi Tarot Fans! 

I just finished the international backers and folks whose cards needed to be updated. Everyone's decks are packaged up and ready to be delivered!

If you are local pick up

  • Greenfield will be dropped off on Friday at 12. You can head over to Alternate Histories (517 Greenfield Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15207) any time between 12–5PM on a Friday or Saturday and Matt will have your deck
  • Robinson Mall decks will be dropped off on March 15th (my next shift)
  • McKees Rocks I am generally there between 10–4 most weekdays (that really varies depending on what I have going on but generally that's my schedule there). Send me a message at ‪(412) 419-1783‬ if you're around and want to pop in. Note: I'm not in studio on weekends. 
  • Random: There's a group of you who are ok with me holding your deck in my car on the chance I see you. They are now in my car! 

Tarot Readings & Tarot 101 Meet Ups

Sarah has been doing readings for folks and is continuing to reach out to those of you who added one on in BackerKit. She can be reached directly at [email protected]to set up a time. She will also coordinate Tarot 101 things are well!

Thanks & Next Steps

Y'all have been amazing to work with. I've been loving your messages and it gives me so much joy to see you exploring your decks! Thank you for being amazing, kind, and supportive <3

My next steps are: refreshing the website and create a product page for Haunted Tarot. People can buy another deck there or download the PDF bibliography that I couldn't fit into the printed guide. I'll post when that is ready.

Not sure why KS didn't want to upload all three of my fulfillment images last time so I'm going to try and share them again here. :D

All non-local pick-up US based orders are out!
7 months ago – Fri, Feb 16, 2024 at 11:49:22 AM

I just hefted 128 packages into my local post office and with that concludes the bulk of US shipments! Whoever said you can't haul stuff in a compact Prius hasn't ever tried hahaha.

If your card was declined for shipping and you updated it or if you changed from local pick-up to shipping, those will go out next week with the international orders starting on Tuesday (President's Day on Monday means the post-office is closed)

Thank you to Meg Prall for helping me finish up alter cloths so I could tackle shipping!

If you're a local pick-up order and you haven't told me where you want to pick up your order, it's currently at my studio in McKees Rocks. Message me privately to coordinate your pick-up.

More shipping!

Hello Tarot Fans!

US single & double deck orders + maps

I just finished charging shipping for the rest of the US backers! You might have gotten a few emails with tracking info. I have 170 packages in this next wave and will get them done ASAP. I've run into some issues with some repetitive stress injury in my right shoulder so I'm slow and steady but getting it done! If we have learned anything about me in the past year, it's that I do not quit haha. Once USPS has it you should have your order super fast. Huge shout out to the post office in McKees Rocks which is REALLY amazing! <3

People have been asking me if I hate fulfillment and I don't really! It's just not very interesting to share about. I've listened to a lot of great fantasy audiobooks and watched an old season of Survivor while carefully putting together orders. It's pretty chill and my Radiant Hall studio mates have visited me while I work which is so nice.

International Orders

Some international labels snuck in to my recent batch but I will hold those orders and do all the international shipping at one time because it requires a little more paperwork. 

Local Pickup Peeps

If you haven't gotten back to me about where you want to pick up locally, I have your order at the studio. For those picking up at Alt. Histories I am going to try and get your items there sometime today hopefully.

Thank yous

Thank you Rachel for helping with some packages, Meg for serging cloths when my shoulder crapped out and I needed an emergency doctor appointment, and to all my kind friends who I've cancelled on last minute lately. Shout out to the Survivor Watch Party Crew at Harold's Haunt for a couple hours of relaxing hangs once a week <3 

Mr. Rip helping out <3
