Winnie-the-Pooh's Hundred-Acre Arcana and Mystic Honeypot Emporium

✨🎉 One Week Left — Let’s Finish Strong! 🐻✨
about 1 year ago – Fri, May 30, 2025 at 05:33:59 PM

Hi everyone!

We’re officially in the final week of the campaign! It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re so grateful for all your support. Right now, we’re on pace to finish around $65,000, which is already amazing — but we’d love to push a bit further and unlock the Tarot Cloth and Pouch, two beautiful extras that truly complete the experience.

🧭 Keychain or Divination Coin? We’d Love Your Thoughts!

We’re also considering a small change to the upcoming stretch goal — and we’d love to get your input.

Right now, the next stretch goal is set to be a Keychain, but we’re thinking of swapping it out for a Divination Coin instead.

🪙 The Divination Coin was originally planned for a higher-tier stretch goal because of how special it is. It’s a beautifully designed metal coin — perfect for flipping during quick yes/no readings or simply enjoying as a magical keepsake. Honestly, it fits the tarot theme much better and feels more unique and collectible.

We're leaning toward making the switch, but we’d love to hear from you first:

👉 Would you prefer the Keychain or the Divination Coin?

🖌️ Mystic Honey Pot Arcana — Art Update!

One of our thoughtful backers recently pointed out that some of the colors in the Mystic Honey Pot Arcana were closer to the Disney versions than the original public domain artwork. We completely agree and appreciated the close attention.

We’ve now made the following updates to keep everything in line with the classic book versions:

✅ Piglet’s outfit is now green

✅ Eeyore is gray

✅ Rabbit is brown

✅ Pooh never wore a red shirt, and we’ve respected that — instead, in our decks, he’s often shown wearing scarves of different colors. It adds charm while staying distinct from later adaptations.

These changes are now complete, and the Mystic Honey Pot Arcana feels even more timeless and refined as a result.

🌍 International Shipping — All Fixed!

Early in the campaign, some of you noticed an issue with international shipping rates. We flagged this with Kickstarter, and here’s what happened:

Kickstarter does not allow editing shipping rates for tiers that already have backers.

Their advice was to create new reward tiers with the correct international shipping.

✅ Those new tiers are live now, and you’re welcome to switch to one if you’d like the correct rate.

The only tier we couldn’t replicate was the very first Early Bird, but all other tiers now have updated versions.

🎁 If you’d prefer to keep your original reward level, that’s absolutely fine — and as a thank-you for your support, we’d be happy to offer:

BackerKit credit, or

A free mini-deck add-on (like a Steamboat Arcana or Gaucho’s Arcana without the tin) when surveys go out.

Just message us after the campaign ends and we’ll make sure you're taken care of!

🃏 Bonus Cards — Backer Request!

One of our backers recently asked to see the bonus cards again — so we’re sharing them here once more! These will be added to every deck once the corresponding stretch goal is unlocked.

Thank you again for joining us on this journey. Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and feedback have made this campaign better in every way — and we truly appreciate you being part of it. Let’s make this final week count!

Mark & The Hundred Acre Arcana Team

Updated Mystic Honeypot Arcana Cards

All of the cards are now updated with new colors and we're ready for print.

Rabbit is now brown as in the original books.

Eeyore is completely gray.

Piglet has a green shirt now instead of red.

Pooh has never had a red shirt in our decks. He often has no shirt, or wears different color scarves. I love scarves because as a kid because I always watched Tom Baker as Doctor Who and the characters always had a huge scarf.

Bonus Cards for Both Decks 

 These are the bonus cards for the Hundred-Acre Arcana

Here are the bonus cards for the Mystic Honeypot Arcana and the lettering will be added to these.

Hello from the heart of the Hundred Acre Wood,

Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve officially passed $50,000 — and that means the bonus cards have been unlocked for both The Hundred Acre Arcana and The Mystic Honey Pot Arcana!

We’ve already shared previews of these six special cards from The Hundred Acre Arcana, and we’re thrilled that they’ll now be included in both decks. These cards bring fresh depth and meaning to the experience — a perfect finishing touch for what goes inside the box.

On the Horizon: $55K — Hundred Acre Arcana Keychain

Next up at $55,000, we’ll be including a charming Hundred Acre Arcana keychain with every pledge tier!

This exclusive keychain will feature a design inspired by the deck and serve as a fun little keepsake from the campaign — a way to carry a bit of the Arcana magic with you wherever you go.

With the bonus cards unlocked, we’re excited to keep adding thoughtful extras as we reach new milestones. 

Thank you for making this journey so special — we can’t wait to see what we unlock together next!

Hello from the heart of the Hundred Acre Wood,

We’re so happy to share that we’ve just passed $45,000 — unlocking the companion guidebooks for both The Hundred Acre Arcana and The Mystic Honey Pot Arcana!

Each deck will now include its own thoughtfully written guidebook, filled with card meanings, spread ideas, and notes on the story and symbolism woven throughout. Whether you’re new to tarot or a longtime reader, we hope these booklets will feel like a warm companion on your journey — practical, inviting, and filled with heart.

Here is an unboxing video from Astarotoracle on YouTube which features our Steamboat Arcana 1928 Kickstarter. It shows how all of the stretch goal items came out. You can see the guidebooks in the video. We're super proud of everything. 

Next up!!! Surprise announcement.  $50,000 — Bonus Cards moved to $50,000 level 

In appreciation of everyone we have brought one of our stretch goals down from a higher level. 

Our next stretch goal is set at $50,000, and it’s a big one — six bonus cards will be added to each deck once we reach it.

These cards will complete everything that goes inside the box. With the decks, guidebooks, magnetic box lids, and premium upgrades already unlocked, the bonus cards are the final layer — a thoughtful addition that makes each deck feel whole.

Once we hit $50K, each deck will receive six bonus cards. These will add new layers of meaning and creativity to your readings — with concepts that complement the classic 78-card structure while offering something fresh and memorable.

And to give you a little taste of what’s to come, we’re including a sneak peek at one of the bonus cards from The Hundred Acre Arcana below!

Thank you again for making this campaign such a joy to share. Every step we take forward is because of your support — and we can’t wait to unlock what’s next.

Warm regards,

The Hundred Acre Arcana Team

🎉 First Stretch Goal Unlocked! $35K Reached! 🎯🌟🤩🙏
over 1 year ago – Mon, May 12, 2025 at 06:32:00 AM

Hello everyone — what an incredible week!

✨Together, we’ve reached our first stretch goal at $35,000!✨

This milestone unlocks the premium production upgrades that will make these decks truly shine:

• Magnetic closure box lids for both The Hundred Acre Arcana and The Mystic Honey Pot Arcana decks
• Spot UV coating to add texture and subtle shine to the box and the back of the cards

We used magnetic boxes in Steamboat Arcana 1928 and The Gaucho’s Arcana, and they were one of the most-loved features. They feel amazing to open and close, and this upgrade brings the full experience together.

This unlocked stretch goal is a major part of what makes the decks feel extra special when you hold, shuffle, and use them.

This video shows the magnetic boxes for our previous deck ‘Steamboat Arcana 1928’

This video is from our last campaign and you can see how the boxes look and how many of the stretch goal items turned out.

🌟 Next Stretch Goal: $45,000 — The Guidebook!

✨Our next milestone is set at $45,000! When we reach this goal, we’ll produce a custom guidebook to accompany both The Hundred Acre Arcana and The Mystic Honey Pot Arcana decks.✨

The guidebook will include:

• A color cover
• Detailed card meanings
• Spread ideas
• Notes on the symbolism and storytelling behind each deck

Backers have loved the guidebooks in our previous campaigns, and we’re ready to deliver another beautiful companion for this project!

Once we hit this next stretch goal of $45,000, everything will be in place to make these decks the absolute best and highest quality possible!

Stretch goal list 

With this next milestone, we’ll have everything in place to deliver the best possible decks—crafted with the care, quality, and magic you expect. 

Every unlocked stretch goal has helped make this project even more special, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for being part of this journey with us! 🙏

✨Warm regards,

The Hundred-Acre Arcana Team✨
