It's Nicola here and I have good news! The book is finally being printed...
Without bogging you down with all the detail, I had to unexpectedly switch the printer I was originally going to use last month, but I'm super happy with who we have now landed with. They have fantastic environmental credentials and a brilliant track record of producing the most beautiful books. So, I'm now expecting that The Wild Way Oracle Book copies will arrive with me near the end of January... better late than never! 😅🙏
Over the next few weeks I will be preparing everything ready for shipping and will be getting in touch with you regarding your shipping costs that still need to be charged. If you need a reminder of the estimated cost for your region, you can find it here.
I'm still (unbelievably!) waiting for the delivery of the Forest Things mugs and the full quota of Nevis Tweed Bags but I'm hopeful they will arrive soon. In more positive news, the re-printed Luna Phase Cards arrived this week and look fabulous. I think you'll really enjoy using them...
If you haven’t yet pre-ordered your copy of The Wild Way Oracle Book (or any of the other goodies available) I will be closing the pre-order store on 17 January, so please hurry!
I also want to take this opportunity to share something I've been quietly working on over the holidays and am very excited about...
If you follow The Wild Way on social media, you may have noticed that I've been sharing less and less over the last few months. This is partly because I've been very busy (and dealing with some health issues) but also because, well... it just doesn't feel good being there anymore.
Last week, Meta announced that they are looking at populating their platforms with AI accounts which will share AI-generated content... this, particularly as an artist who has had their work stolen and probably already forms part of datasets for AI training,is the final straw. I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want any part of that creepy experiment! This added to Zuckerberg’s announcement yesterday about further changes that Meta will be making, is confirmation that what I've been working on is arriving at exactly the right time!
So, without further ado...
I'm super excited to announce that The Bothy will soon be available as a monthly subscription designed to both support me and my ongoing work, and provide you with loads of exclusive content that you won't find elsewhere.
You can expect blog posts, sneaky peeks at the projects I'm working on (including The Wild Way Tarot Deck, eep yes!), astrological musings and much more! The Bothy will be a place for me to express my creativity freely, unconstrained by word counts and free from the algorithmic whims (and political motives) of our social media overlords. I'm honestly so excited about this space and the opportunity to connect with you all in a way that feels authentic and wholesome. I'm genuinely overflowing with ideas and can't wait to share everything with you!
To celebrate the launch, I'll be giving the chance to win a one-year subscription to a lucky person selected randomly from everyone that joins The Bothy (free) mailing list. You can find the sign up form at the bottom of this page over at The Wild Way.
This coming year will bring major changes for all of us thanks to each and every outer planet changing signs within a very short space of time. This quite literally never happens, and is likely to feel somewhat jarring, at least initially. My hope is that The Bothy will not only provide all the benefits I've listed above but also a place for you to stay ahead of the astro weather and connect with some lovely like-minded people within our private community chat.
If you'd like to learn more, please hop over here for full details of what you can expect from The Bothy!
That's all for now folks, I'll be in touch again really soon!
