Deep Dive Wisdom of Pooh Guidebook

Dear Rue & Vervain Friends,

We have wonderful news to share — production on the Deep Dive into the Wisdom of Pooh Tarot guidebooks is officially complete!

That means we’re now moving into the shipping phase, and we couldn’t be more excited to see these long-awaited books begin their journey to you. Originally, our plan was for our printer to fulfill current orders directly and then send the remaining stock to us in the U.S. However, after reviewing the shipping and fulfillment costs, we discovered that this option would have added over $12,000 to our expenses — and would still have taken 3–5 weeks to reach the States.

Given that we’re doing our best to be mindful of every penny right now, we’ve decided on a more cost-effective approach of having the entire shipment sent to us here in the U.S., and I’ll handle all fulfillment myself.

📅 Updated Timeline for the Wisdom of Pooh Deep Dive Guidebook

• Guidebooks leave the port in China heading for the USA - December 18th

• Guidebooks arrive in USA and are processed through the port and customs, then prepped for delivery to Baltimore, MD. January 15th-February 15, 2026

• Decks arrive in Baltimore - February 21, 2026.

• Fulfillment Begins - End of February 2026

For context, when we shipped The Wisdom of Pooh Tarot decks earlier this year, it took about six weeks from the time the shipment left China to arrive at the New York port. It then took another 4 weeks for the New York port authority to process the shipment.  In total, the trip from the port in China to my doorstep here in Baltimore, Maryland took 11 weeks.

While we can’t guarantee it will be faster this time, we want to be completely transparent about the timeline. Based on current estimates, we expect the books to leave port next week, arrive in the U.S. by late December, and (fingers crossed!) reach us in Baltimore by late January.

We know this adds extra time, but the $12,000 in savings will make a huge difference in helping us sustain our work and bring you more magical creations in the future.

Thank you, truly, for your continued and steadfast support of this project. Kat, Angel, and I can’t wait for you to finally hold this guidebook in your hands.  It’s been a true labor of love from start to finish. 💛
