The Power of the Yin Oracle Deck

Created by Daven Lee

A 58-Card Guidance Deck to Connect You with the Wisdom of the Yin "One of the most intuitive, 'heart-shiningly' accurate and beautiful decks I've ever held." —Emily The first edition print run of the deck is now SOLD OUT and the second edition is in production now! Our anticipated ship date is on or before June 1. PLEASE DO PRE-ORDER! When you place a pre-order, you are helping support the production of the second edition. This will also help us finalize our print run size. Note that when you pre-order now, you won't be charged for your order until your decks are ready to ship. Thank you so much for your support—and help us spread the word so we can print even more decks! 🦋 Would you like to purchase the original painting of your favorite card in the deck?

Latest Updates from Our Project:

"Slow down, take a deep breath, and come back to your body."

These are the words of Kasia Kulbowska, of Tarot Map on IG and YouTube. She is the latest reviewer of the Power of the Yin Oracle.  

She writes, "I am amazed how the energy of this art and cards makes me slow down, take a deep breath and come back to my body.  In the Yang driven society this deck brings in a welcomed balance of the yin!  It is perfection!"

You can watch her review on YouTube here and follow her on Instagram @TarotMap. She is from Poland, so I was able to send her the review deck easily from Amsterdam, where I am right now.  It's so fun that this deck is getting international reviews!

If you are a big tarot and oracle deck fan, you will appreciate this video.  She pairs my deck with several other gorgeous oracles.  It's inspiring to see the potential for integrating the Power of the Yin Oracle in so many meaningful and insightful ways.

A very special shout-out to backer Anna, for connecting me with Kasia!  

If you have favorite reviewers, YouTubers, FB groups or other folks who can help spread the word about this deck and bring it more visibility, please let me know.  This is so helpful to bring the deck to LIFE!

Beings & Guides
over 1 year ago – Wed, Dec 07, 2022 at 05:42:41 AM

These cards have become Beings to me. 

They are spiritual guides, each with their own presence and power. 

And they are so steady as I move into the final stages of completing this deck.

I love thinking of each and every one of you having these Beings in your life as well.  I wonder what they will whisper to you and how their guidance will support you in the most personal, particular way.

So grateful to have you—and them—with me in this creation process!

Manifestation in Process

Manifestation is indeed in process! 

I'm working away to set up your backer surveys and prepare for fulfillment, while continuing the deck creation process with Yael, thinking ahead to the design of the box, planning the booklet to go with the deck, and reaching out to more reviewers.

And Yael is working on the illustration for the card, Manifestation.

*******************************

And I'm excited to share that the "Preorder Store" for the deck is now live!  

This means if you were watching this campaign and wish you had pledged, or if you have friends who might want a deck, there is a place to go and an item to click!  The price is just a little higher than what my KS backers have paid, because it's only fair.  And it's still a great deal for this gorgeous indie deck.  

Here's the link.

First, I want to say another thank you to all of you for your support.

I also want to say how much I enjoyed getting to meet some of you yesterday at our online celebration and card-reading party.  I will definitely be doing that again soon (and offering a time slot that works for my Australian backers!).

Now for the next steps: BackerKit, a platform that will help me organize and fulfill all of your pledges, comes into the picture.  I'm on a learning curve here, so thank you in advance for your patience!

Here we go!

First, Kickstarter will transfer over the funds so I have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to two weeks).

Second, I have to find out where I need to ship them. I’ll send out a BackerKit survey to collect this information.

I’ll give you a heads-up before I send the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses right away since I need this information to process your rewards.

If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items (yes there will be some fun add-ons!), or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)

Please use BackerKit to communicate with me about these details, rather than contacting me directly.  BackerKit helps me save lots of time by streamlining this whole process.  Of course if you are having trouble with BackerKit or it's making you crazy, then contact me directly!

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.


Throughout this next stage of the creation process, I'm going to keep in touch with you here, posting updates on the new cards, exploring aspects of the deck, giving you progress reports, and continuing to connect and get to know you.  The posts will be a little less frequent but just as thoughtful.  

With so much gratitude,

Daven

Thank you.

Wow, what an experience this campaign has been.

To begin with the glimmer of an idea (ok, it was more like a download!) over a year ago, to this point where 165 people—many of you new to me—have literally invested in this project with your money, attention and energy, to exceed our goal: WOW, THANK YOU.

Of course this is not the end of our journey together.  The next step is moving into the final creation stage; then designing, printing and ultimately sending out the decks to you.  Along the way, I'll continue to share the process and the wisdom of the cards with you here in this space, offering other opportunities for us to meet, asking for your input and advice, and getting to know you better and better.

I expect to print 500 decks in this round, so there will be over 300 more people to reach with the Power of the Yin Oracle. . . and hopefully beyond.

**********

But for now, let's celebrate!  At the top of the hour, I'm throwing a card-reading party for all the supporters of this campaign: SO YOU ARE INVITED!

When: TODAY, November 27, 12pm US-ET / 9am US-PT / 5pm-GMT / 6pm CET

What we'll do:  We'll meet for an hour, get to know each other a bit, then we'll each pull a card and explore the deck together.  And we'll celebrate together!

How to join: Here's the link to register for free.

I hope to see you shortly!
