SURVEYS ARE COMING SOON! ADD-ONS SNEAK PREVIEW 👀✨
Hello Wild Ones! 🌲✨
It's Nicola here, just getting in touch to request that you please keep an eye on your inbox (and maybe your junk mail too) because next Tuesday 2nd July, y...
I hope you're all doing well and starting to feel festive as we approach the holiday season! As I mentioned in my last update, there was a strong chance the project would not end up shipping until into next year and unfortunately, I'm here to confirm that for you now.
Initially, I thought this would be because the book would not yet be in my hands but it turns out multiple additional issues have presented themselves since I last wrote to you!
Firstly, I received this extremely exciting delivery from my printer... your Lunar Phase Card Packs! Upon opening them I was absolutely delighted with what a beautiful job they had done. However, on closer inspection I realised that they had mixed up the text and art on six out of eight of the cards. So, the whole lot has been returned to the printer to be reprinted, setting us back by around six weeks.
Then, I received a message from the people who are manufacturing the Nevis Tweed bags, that they hadn't been able to start making anything yet due to a series of staff illnesses, and that they'd only just realised that they wouldn't have enough zips to complete the job. The zip restock will take a minimum of four weeks (this despite them having notice of the order since August).
And finally, the company making all your add-on mugs has just been in touch to say the order will be delayed and they can't give me an estimated dispatch date yet. They unexpectedly had to relocate premises and are unable to manufacture anything until hooked up to internet, and they don't know when that will be!
All this to say, the sky weather is rather challenging for everyone right now. You might have been experiencing this too. We currently have Saturn barely moving having recently stationed direct after a long retrograde period, Mercury at a standstill having turned retrograde just a few hours ago, and Mars slowing right down to station retrograde on 6 December. This is not particularly conducive to getting stuff done, or moving things forward at pace!
I'll be back in touch as soon as I am able tobring you some more positive news and an estimated dispatch date 🙈

P.S. If you haven't yet placed your pre-order, please hurry the store will be closing very soon! 🙏✨
Just getting in touch with an update as I'm sure you're probably wondering things are at!
Well, I have some good news... and some bad news. The bad news is that we're working slightly behind the estimated schedule but the good news is that everything is looking amaaaaaazing. I think you are all going to be thrilled with what arrives on your doorstep though unfortunately that will be a little later than we originally anticipated. It turns out that editing and designing a book takes way longer than the actual writing of the book! That said, we're nearly there and it's looking really beautiful. At the moment I'm really hoping to still be able to dispatch prior to the holidays but if I'm being super realistic, it might well be January as there is still quite a bit to sort out. We're working as fast as we can though!
All the other goodies have been arriving or are scheduled to do so soon, and I'm so pleased with how they have turned out. Here are the stickers and bookmarks!
And the journals, which are made from pineapples! 🤯 If you've ordered the Lunar Phase Cards Pack, your brand new oracle cards are being printed as we speak! The little packet I've designed for them is super cute and I think you'll love the journey that our wee mouse friend takes through the lunar cycle. Here's a sneaky peek of the artwork for one of the cards you may not have seen yet... That's all for now folks, I'll be back in touch when the book is at the printers and I have a better idea of when everything will be dispatched.
Take care!

P.S. If you have not yet pre-ordered your copy of the The Wild Way Oracle Book or purchased a deck or other goodies, the pre-order store is still open!
Nicola here, just dropping in to update you on progress with the project and to let you know that if you added extra items in the add-on store, your cards will be charged on 31 August! The charge will appear as Astraea Creative on your statement. We're not charging for shipping yet—this will probably happen in October/November, but we'll let you know in advance.
There are a handful of backers still to complete their survey so if that's you please please hop over to Backerkit and fill in your details as soon as possible. We don't have your address otherwise! We also need you confirm your items so that we know how many to order, it's really important that we have this information prior to 31 August! If you no longer have your survey email, you can click here for access.
A reminder too that many of the items in the add-on store are unlikely to be available later and if they are, will increase in price! Now is your chance to grab a bargain! You can still make changes to your order.
Most of my energy has been going into writing the remainder of the book since the end of crowdfunding campaign. It's going well and I'm on track to finish the first draft in the next few weeks, then I'll be editing the text before starting to design the layout. There's an awful lot to do but I'm still hoping to stick to the original timetable as best I can!
That's all for now folks, we'll be back in touch with another update soon. Hope you have been having a great summer! 🙏
Thanks!
Nicola Astraea Creative ✨
P.S. If you know anyone who missed out on the original crowdfunding campaign and might be interested in The Wild Way, please send them over to the pre-order store!
