Awesome Art Angels 

Deepest of thanks from the bottom of our hearts to all 69 of you who are a stand for our visionary art oracle. You are a higher order blessing for this project. Your belief in this art oracle is helping to manifest it for the world. 

We have four days left in our campaign and are working around the clock to reach our goal and produce this wonder. Thanks to all of you for supporting the deck with your pledges. A chorus of gratitude to those who have shared the campaign with friends or on social media, and to those who have increased their pledges to help us achieve the miraculous and manifest this deck!

Today was the Vision Train Presentation on 'Stone Circles and Visionary Art'. The recording is hereon the Vision Train Youtube. 

Deeply aligned with this project which was created at stone circles and sacred sites in five of the Celtic Realms : Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and England, we share the painting 'Of Wolves and Wild Roses' by Radka SoulArt of the Cayman Islands which will be featured in the Capstone Edition of the Galactic Trading Cards.

Here are a few of the artworks from the upcoming deck that have had the biggest response on our instagram @galactictradingcardoracle 

If you are sharing about the project these might be great artworks to represent the project, just make sure to credit the artists. Our campaign link is www.kickstarter.com/projects/dewcreative/galactic-trading-cards-capstone-edition

There are 5 days left to manifest what we need to cover base printing costs and the cost to ship decks to all the artists.  We are working in every spare minute we have, and continuing to pray, calling in more art angels to bring this project to life.

So much gratitude on my birthday in our tiny coastal rainforest village in British Columbia, Canada. 

We are joyful to reach 51 backers today! Thank you all for helping to make something miraculous together. You are keys to unlock this extraordinary project. 

As we continue refining the curation, check these two briliant works from the new deck.

At the Yoga by the Sea in our tiny village, we did an activation for the deck with 28 friends sharing an evening exploring Stone Circles and Visionary Art. We collaborated on a collective, contemplating reading about sacred symbols of the Celtic Peoples, blessings, prayers, quotes, wisdom sayings and facts about the stone circles and sacred sites where this Galactic Trading Card Deck was written. Between sacred sites we viewed visionary art from the deck! The journey took us through five realms of Ancient Celtic Culture : Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and England. Wonderful to have an in-person event focussed on activating this project during the campaign!

J. D. Salinger wrote "All we do our whole lives is go from one little piece of holy ground to another."

Our pilgrimage to create these cards included ritual and ceremony at more than 53 different sacred sites. 

We started the pilgrimage at the Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury, UK.

At different locations, we filmed videos to support the promotion of the project. Here is one at a remote location on the Welsh Coast, Cefn Coch Stone Circle:

I am working in every free moment I have on this campaign. Emailing hundreds and hundreds of people directly. Responding to countless comments and emails. Posting multiple times a day on social media.  Grace is making many videos. Today we recorded a video for the final week of the campaign in the mossy rainforest near our home. 

Thanks to two artists in the deck, 'Rosie' Rose and Amanda Sage, there will be one more online appearance as part of the campaign. We will present on the Vision Train live on December 28. I will share details as they develop.

We are reaching for the stars and doing everything we can to manifest this uniquely creative art card oracle deck.

Thanks so much for being on the journey with us.
