Tarot Lovers' Calendar 2005

Major Tom

The Tarot Lovers' Calendar 2005 is now available for pre-release orders at www.majortom.biz/calendar.html There is also a picture of the calendar cover, so you can have a bit of fun trying to work out which decks are featuring in the calendar this year. ;) I will make a further announcement once they are ready for release.

I do not yet know what the final price for the calendars will be, but it will be less than last year. Pre-release orders are priced at £12 which includes shipping anywhere, which represents a significant decrease in cost over last year. I am expecting to start shipping early in August. I have pledged a percentage of the profits from sales of the calendar to return to this community.

If you are interested in purchasing a quanity of calendars, please contact me direct.

I'd like to thank all the members of this community who have contributed their artwork and/or spreads to the calendar. All the calendar's content is provided by members of Aeclectic. This is very much your calendar.

The calendar is with the printer.

Once released, the calendar will cost £11.99 plus a £2.00 contribution to post and packing, so a pre-order saves £2.

Thanks to all those who've gotten their pre-order in. :)

My Calendar is HERE!!!

I received my Tarot Lovers Calendar the other day.. I was so surpirsed ( that is one of the nice things about a preorder.. I just poof shows up one day in the mail box )

It is just beautiful!! I almost cannot wait to hang it. Each month has a feature deck with description, and a featured spread. I recognise so many talents in this... it is like having a calendar of friends :D

Outstanding job Major Tom and all those that contributed!!

Mine came a few days ago, too! what a nice surprise in the mailbox. It looks really good...I am looking for its perfect place to hang in. Someplace near the Tarot desk, I'm thinking. :)

Good Job Major Tom, and all concerned in creating this excellent calender !!

What can I say?! Major Tom, the 2005 Tarot Lovers' Calendar is AWESOME. I love the diversity of cards throughout, but especially the cover. I also like the protective clear cover. Since it's a keeper, this will help preserve the calendar.

For each month, the large size of the cards chosen and the solid dark gray background is uniformly classy throughout the calendar.

It puts the focus on the cards and on the summaries below.

I haven't read all the spreads yet. That will take some down time since I like to absorb each as I go through the calendar.

Thank you again to you and everyone involved in this project.

It is always gratifying to hear such enthusiastic responses to the calendar as so wonderfully expressed by Majecot, Magpie9 and Tmgirl. Thank you all so much. And thanks too to everyone who pre-ordered.

The good news is that you can still get the calendar at the pre-order price. ;)

The bad news is that this will change over the weekend.

The retail price is £11.99 plus £2.00 contribution to shipping.

The pre-order price is £12.00 total.

Just received mine!!!

Well worth it, if I say so myself :)

Even better than last year's!

The format is more 'handy', the drilled hole (which was absent on last year's) has finally been included, and the style and finish are superb.

Well done everyone involved - and of course especially Major Tom!
