Wisdom of Pooh Tarot Guidebooks Are Sailing Our Way!

Dear Rue & Vervain Friends,

I have some genuinely great news to share. The Deep Dive Into the Wisdom of Pooh Tarot guidebooks have left China and are currently at sea, making their way across the ocean toward the United States as we speak. So, I want to share an update on the arrival timeline.

In my last update I estimated that the books would arrive around mid-April, because the plan at that time was to ship them before the Chinese New Year shutdown. However, because the Supreme Court was scheduled to rule on the constitutionality of those tariffs at the end of February, I made the decision to wait for the Court’s decision before releasing this shipment. If the tariffs were struck down, it would save us thousands of dollars and dramatically improve our ability to move forward with production across the board.

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs were unconstitutional! That ruling changes everything for us. The removal of those tariffs going forward lifts a huge financial weight that had been hanging over all of our projects since last spring. It allows us to finally begin moving forward again on several productions that have been paused for months.

However, waiting for that ruling did affect the shipping schedule. Because I held the shipment until after February 20th, we missed the window to have the books shipped before the Chinese New Year shutdown. Production resumed on March 3rd, and that is when the guidebooks were finally able to leave China.

That timing adds roughly about a month to the original projected arrival schedule. But it also saved us thousands of dollars, which was an important decision for the health of this project and the others that have been waiting in the wings.

Here is the updated timeline for the guidebooks:

📅 Updated Wisdom of Pooh Guidebook Timeline

• March 3 — Guidebooks departed China

• April 27 — Estimated arrival in the United States (Port of New York)

• Approximately 15 days — Customs processing and transport to Baltimore

• May 15 — Estimated arrival at our home office in Baltimore

• Fulfillment will begin immediately once the books arrive

As soon as the books arrive here in Baltimore, we will begin packing and shipping them out right away.

Please note, if you ordered the Pooh's Lunar Expotition Journal and/or the Pooh's Mystical Sticker Book, those will both be produced with the Tigger Too production in July 2026. 

Thank you, as always, for your patience and for continuing to support this project. Seeing these guidebooks finally on their way across the ocean feels like a major step forward, and I cannot wait to get them into your hands.
