Delay with Arka Mailers
We’re not so thrilled with Arka Packaging (arka.com) — We wanted to give you a delightful unboxing experience so we hired them to make protective custom mailers with plenty of time to arrive to our fulfillment partner before the decks would. As of this time, we’re still waiting on our weeks-late order. Emails to customer support are given generic responses and we can’t get a straight answer on why we don’t have our boxes yet or when we can expect them.
Three of Swords Spread
Betrayal. Deception. Heartache. The Three of Swords is one of the most challenging cards to receive. It often appears when we’re going through a crisis that’s left us feeling low and disillusioned. A person who we thought was a friend betrayed us. A love we held on to for too long breathes its last breath. Our last hope falls through the aching hole in our heart, gaping wide, raw and senseless.
2nd Decan of Libra
Betrayal. Deception. Heartache. The Three of Swords which corresponds to the second decan of Libra is one of the most challenging cards to receive. It often appears when we’re going through a crisis that’s left us feeling low and disillusioned. A person who we thought was a friend betrayed us. A love we held on to for too long breathes its last breath. Our last hope falls through the aching hole in our heart, gaping wide, raw and senseless.

Moon Moth Meditation
So many of us were taught to bury our feelings when we were little. It’s no wonder that as adults we have unhealthy coping mechanisms that find us projecting icky feelings and our shadows onto the people around us. The next time you feel a bit miffed, here’s a little soothing meditation to help sit with those hard feelings.
1st Decan of Libra
Libra is a cardinal sign and like the other cardinal signs—Aries, Cancer and Capricorn—it begins a new season. Cardinal signs are good at initiating, responding and getting things going. In tarot, the cardinal signs correspond to numbers 2, 3 and 4. And as an air sign, we use the Swords for Libra. Put it together and the first decan (ten days) of Libra corresponds to the Two of Swords.

Delivery Update 🚢 🐰
We have a little update for you. The cargo ship carrying 3000 Faunabelle Tarot decks has been sitting in Long Beach since September 9th. In normal times, the decks would have made their way to our fulfillment partner in New Jersey by now and be on their way to you next week. But these are not normal times… supply chains are still recovering from the catastrophic disruption brought by COVID.
