Sacred Geometry Oracle Delayed

[ecosophia]

I think most people know at this point that the current CoVID-19 coronavirus outbreak has scrambled economic activity all over the world -- and yes, that's affecting even so modest an economic sector as the production of occult literature.  Aeon Press, the publisher that's going to be bringing out the new edition of my Sacred Geometry Oracle, had arranged to get the 33-card deck printed in China -- that's where most high-quality card decks are printed these days -- but they've just been informed that, due to the current mess, production is going to be on hold for some months to come.

With that in mind, Aeon Books has had to postpone the release of The Sacred Geometry Oracle until April of 2021. Those who've ordered advance copies will still get them; alternatively you can contact the publisher for a prompt refund. In the meantime, I'm going to speed up work on the system of occult training and practice that relies on this deck, with the hope of getting as much of it as possible into print in the months following the Oracle's release. 

Thank you for your patience! At least oracle decks aren't as unavoidable a necessity as, say, toilet paper...

I’m very sorry to hear this, it must be hugely frustrating.

You’ve probably got a variety of reasons not to do an early distribution electronically via pdf but as I’ve found recently, given the current circumstances - the people I do business have been willing to allow variances on contracts in order to let people survive. It’s easy to copy pdfs, but of course they can be watermarked and even sold on ‘print this out and delete the file’ promise.

Oh well. I will just have to content myself with getting hold of the Thibault translation which sounds fascinating. I suspect my days of poking swords at people are done, but there’s this novel I’m writing.....

Since the thing that's delayed is the card deck -- and most people don't have the facilities to print out PDF files onto good laminated card stock -- I didn't really have the option. After all the other hassles and delays this project has faced since I first developed it 20 years ago, I can wait another year...

What happened to make it take 20 years?

It's a long and ugly story, and involves interactions between me and a publisher that probably shouldn't be splashed all over the internet, so I'm going to pass on explaining the details.
