DESCRIPTION

This Pre-Order is for the GUIDEBOOK that refers to the 2nd edition of the Spirit Carrier oracle deck. You may wish to order this, if you're also placing a Pre-Order for the Spirit Carrier oracle 2nd edition, and want to read about each card from the perspectives that I considered while I created the deck. But you can perfectly well use the cards fully intuitively as well, without ever opening this guidebook, if that suits you better.

Please note: the second image shows the contents page of the upcoming 2nd edition guidebook. The two last photos show the Introduction text from the 1st edition guidebook - the text will remain the same, but the page layout will look different.

Whilst the guidebook will remain a paperback and the font size will be the same, the differences in this 2nd edition are these:
1) the format is larger, at A5 size (5.8" x 8.3" / 14.8 x 21 cm)
2) cover design will be different
3) instead of separating the rune cards from the non-rune cards into their own sections in the guidebook, all cards will be listed in alphabetical order according to card titles
4) the 3 new cards will have their own added entry in the guidebook
5) a couple of mishaps that had crept in the 1st edition guidebook will be amended

This guidebook in its 2nd edition will go into production when the oracle deck's Pre-Order count reaches 40 people, regardless of how many guidebook pre-orders have been made by then. I estimate that these guidebooks -whether you pre-order one with a 2nd edition deck or on its own- will ship at latest in the second half of November 2025. The sooner we reach the required Pre-Order amount for the decks, the sooner this guidebook also goes into production.

Pre-orders for this 2nd edition GUIDEBOOK open on this page on Tuesday 12th August before midday BST time.

What is included in this Pre-Order:
• 1 soft-cover guidebook (180 pages) - updated & revised for the 2nd edition of the Spirit Carrier oracle deck

The Pre-Order price for this guidebook is £12GBP +shipping. If there are any left after the pre-orders have been fulfilled, the price will go up to £15GBP +shipping. Unfortunately books are weighty items to ship internationally, but I'm not planning to make this guidebook available as a digital file. Apologies!

This guidebook will be printed locally in the UK where I live, so I do not anticipate any delays in import shipments when the production is ready. If you reside in European Union, you are okay to purchase from my website here. I'm registered with an EU Authorised Representative to comply with the current GPSR law.

If you are in the USA, there will be a 10% tariff after August 29, and whilst it originally appeared there'd be some complications to sending packages to the USA because of this, I'm happy to announce that it got sorted in time! UK's national postal service has implemented a system whereby I can pay the tariff fees here in my end, and therefore there will be no extra cost or any hassle to you! So you can buy with confidence :)

PLEASE NOTE!
If you include anything else in the same order as your Pre-Order items, I will ship everything at the time of this item becoming available for shipping. If you also want other items from the Spirit Carrier web store outside of your Pre-Order, please place a separate order (unless you are happy to wait until November!)

Any questions, just email me or find me on social media! @spiritcarrier

Whilst I warmly welcome you to join my email newsletter to receive all latest updates, you don't have to. HOWEVER: I will add everyone who pre-orders via this listing, on to a separate 'Pre-Order email newsletter' which I will then use to send updates on the progress of this production. This is for your peace of mind, so you know what's happening and when, after you've trusted your pre-order payment to my care. After the decks are shipped, I will no longer send anything via this temporary email group. You can of course also unsubscribe at any time before the card production completes!

Spirit Carrier oracle deck combines my love of crystals and Elder Futhark runes, drawing inspiration from my Northern roots and three decades of artist practice. Further adding in certain beneficial aspects and perspectives that I have learned from the field of changework, metaphors, and how the brain makes meaning and processes experiences. The deck is an eclectic mix of elements, aimed for your own personal meaning-making and wayfinding through life's myriad of choices and decisions.

For any of you familiar with the Alleyman's Tarot and the more recent Alleyway Oracles, one card of the Spirit Carrier oracle deck ('Finders Keepers') is included among other artists' work compiled into the 'Oracle of Secrets' in The Alleyway Oracles series of decks.
