Pre-Thanksgiving sale? Black Friday? Plaid Saturday? Cyber Monday? That’s too much to think about when you could be thinking about pie!

We’ve started our holiday sale today to cover all of those days, and the rest of the year! It’s our year-end gift to you, regardless of which holidays you do (or don’t) celebrate! Use the code “gift” to take 15% off any merchandise purchase of $25 or more, now through January 15, 2023!

The fine print: the discount does not apply to Gift Certificates, Consultations, Workshops, items in the Rare and OOP category, or sale items (since they’re already on sale!).

Click through to our store, and happy shopping!

It’s the winter holiday season, and we want you to be aware of shipping deadline so you receive your packages, and your family and friends receive their gifts, on time!

Allow extra time for weather delays and general slowness due to the pandemic.

tl, dr: Order as early as possible to avoid disappointment!

Winter Solstice is Wednesday, December 21.
Christmas is Sunday, December 25.
Yule is observed at different times by different people, so you can choose the date you plan to celebrate, and adjust the deadlines below.

We’re usually closed on Mondays, but we will be open Monday, December 19, 2022 for shipping, to help you stay on schedule for Solstice.

The last day we will ship before Christmas is Thursday, December 22, 2022. Our office will be closed on Friday, December 23 and Monday, December 26, 2022, so our employees can enjoy the long weekend and the holidays of their choosing.

Our usual order cut-off times apply, so any orders placed after 10:00 AM Pacific Time on December 22, 2022, will ship on December 27, 2022.

The express shipping deadline for Winter Solstice delivery of packages in the US is Thursday, December 15, 2022. For packages outside the US, see below.

Due to delivery issues, we are not currently offering FedEx shipping.

Please note that the carriers will not guarantee delivery dates in the last few days prior to the Christmas holiday due to weather delays or other service interruptions. So, even if you order by the above deadlines, it’s still possible that your package will be delayed. To avoid disappointment, please place your order as early in the month as possible.

Orders placed after the cutoff for these shipping deadlines will be shipped on our next regular business day, with the delivery date adjusted accordingly. Plan ahead!

Author and teacher James Wanless, our very own Captain Pick-A-Card, creator of the Voyager Tarot and the Sustain Cards deck, needs support. He was violently attacked on August 13, 2022, and is still in serious condition at the hospital. He has severe head trauma, which caused some bleeding on the brain, and two cracked vertebrae in his neck. On Aug 15, James had successful neck surgery and is still on a ventilator. He is battling pneumonia and has started to respond with his eyes. The doctors say he has a long recovery ahead of him. It will be some time before James can work hence the need to raise funds for his living and medical expenses.

His business partner, Julie King, has set up a GoFundMe to help James.

James is such a vibrant, fully alive person, and for him to be in such a state is horrifying, all the more so due to the reason for his condition.

If you can, please donate. Either way, please share the fundraiser, and help support this wonderful person, teacher, and inspiration.
