A Reflective update…
So around 2 months have gone by like a flash since I launched www.lobstermoontarot.com and it is now time for a status update and some reflection…
First of all, I have been pleasantly overwhelmed with the numbers of visitors on my site. So many are reading the blog posts, using the free spreads and checking out the shop. Thank you so much for that dear reader. It is much appreciated. And thank you for your kind feedback and support, it means the World to me.
My goal with Lobster Moon Tarot was from the initiation both to create a small side hustle income for myself as a student, but mainly to create a "tarot Universe” that I couldn’t really find anywhere else online and that I felt was missing.
“I wanted to create a bit of community, a place to find nerdy tarot stuff and a place to gather all my own tarot related wisdom”
I love to create tarot spreads, write blog posts and do readings for you. And I absolutely love to do the collabs with other occult / spiritual / mystical nerds who write the amazing guest blog posts. It is so inspiring and I learn something new from every single post. This is something I really want to do much more of in the future.
I am, as you might know, a student of marketing and communication design so Lobster Moon Tarot is also a place where I test out things, learn how to create, build and run a small business that very much is the essence of communication.
“So I change, add and delete often, mainly to improve the user experience, but also just because I get new ideas or visions that I want to test”
I have recently noticed that a lot of potential sales unfortunately stops in the payment process… Which is such a shame, for both the seekers and for me. I apologize for the seekers that this has happened to. It seems like two major things were happening…
One is that the payment options have been limited to PayPal and not everyone has that option. So I fixed that and it is now possible to pay through Stripe using all major credit cards. I also added "pay now" or quicker and easier transactions.
The second thing is the pricing. I originally set the prices after the Danish standard and the time I expected to spend on the individual readings. But it turns out that most visitors and customers are not Danish and that I do not spend as much time on the readings as I calculated with…
“…so I have decided to lower all the prices a bit. Between 20 and 25% on all readings*. A gift from me to you. In times like these we could all need some affordable spiritual advice right?”
Additional updates…
As a Sagittarius rising I have big ambitions and way more ideas that I want to implement on the website in the future. But most are still just random thoughts in my mind and there are only 24 hours in a day, so it will happen when the timing is right. But stay tuned!
One idea is however already in the wee beginning stage. My man and I are working on creating a tarot deck. It will be dark and beautiful. Graphic and modern. I can promise you that much. But please give us a year or two to create. I'll keep you posted.
I recently also had the great pleasure of being a guest on the most popular Danish spiritual podcast "Det Spirituelle Hjørne" where Annasophia and I had a long talk about the cards, intuition, subconscious, light/darkness and much more.
“I really felt like my mission with the cards was being manifested for real when it came out this week and that I am on the right path”
I feel truly blessed for all the sweet supportive messages from the listeners and I hope that it will not be the last time I have the opportunity to take part in something like that. I'm also very happy to finally connect with some more Danish witches and occult nerds.
If you understand Danish please find it HERE or where you listen to your podcasts.
Episode is called “Et okkult kortspil (tarot, mystik og underbevidsthed)”
Last but not least…
Another tarot related thing that is happening in the near future for me is the first ever event in the newly founded Copenhagen Occult Club. The club was founded by myself in a spur of the moment state of mind a few months back but is now slowly but surely manifesting IRL. First event will take place May 15 2022 and the theme is Tarot & The Full Moon! It will be a lot of fun! So save the date and come to Copenhagen! Make sure to follow @copenhagenoccultclub on Instagram for updates and information.
Thank you so much for being part of my spiritual journey.
Love Mariia <3
