I believe I know exactly where this first "card" is located, but it's about 3,000 miles away! Is there a way to continue? Or has my journey ended?

I thought the same thing..... I was hoping to participate "virtually" and was interpreting clues online and visualizing a tarot card and meanings....

Maybe there will be more to come hopefully? Still super fun though.

Well, she HAS rătăcit from oceanul to oceanul for many years...

Hoping she'll plant in Michigan, din iad în paradis.

I'll be heading to DARTMOOR for the next two weeks!! I have lots of adventures planned, including attending The Meet and hitting the moors with locals.

For anyone who has been boxing in Dartmoor: any secret tips? Favorite boxes or locations? Cool boxers I should make sure to meet? Awesome pubs?

For anyone: what questions do you have about Dartmoor letterboxing? I'll try to get as many questions answered while I'm there!

Tell us everything when you get back! I want to box in Dartmoor sometime in the next few years!

Absolutely, I'm planning to put together some sort of guide about Dartmoor letterboxing for folks coming from North American letterboxing, and if all goes as planned, also a fun little video exploring the differences between the two styles... with some special guests... ;)

We figured out the first location. It is many miles from here.

Get with Mark and Sue Pepe - they have organized a trip there in the past I believe and they are super nice.

Definitely want to hear all about it when you get back.

Sounds like an amazing trip! We can’t wait to hear all about it.

(I assume Cranmere Pool is on your list.)

Like man, I just checked the world wide webs and there's lots and lots of other tarot cards like cups and saucers and swords and tentacles? I want to be careful because a teacher once told me I wasn't playing with a full deck!

If you are seeing saucers and tentacles in your card readings, that sounds to me like a prediction of an alien invasion.

The invasion has been cancelled because of lack of interest.

What you are seeing are mostly teasers. These are adolescents who recently got their saucer license who like playing pranks on less-advanced civilizations. They find people in out-of-the-way places, put on a little show, then take off. These shows are mostly harmless.

What you want to avoid are the game wardens who bag, tag and do medical tests; often uncomfortable.

Speak for yourself. I hear that over in the Andromeda Galaxy they are gearing up!
😉

We too want to hear about it. We are going later this year - let us know about the "must do" spots!

Day 1 took us to Duck's Pool. Day 2 was a lovely "charity walk" (the Dartmoor equivalent to a "series" along a loop, though still with the classic triangulation cluing) near Pew Tor. And tomorrow, I'm heading out with Rat Boy (who some of you may know from his lovely YouTube channel) to visit Fur Tor and hopefully also Cranmere Pool. And then The Meet is on Sunday!

It's been an enjoyable and enlightening experience so far. Lots of trekking through The Bog of Eternal Squelch and trying to figure out which tiny far-off rock formation is which. I'll have many more reflections and tips soon!

For those on Instagram, I'll also be posting regular updates @enigmida.

OMG, Rat Boy?!?! Let him know he has American fans!!

Today we headed off in search of Elana Chivani’s first Tarot reading series. We were excited by the mystery build up on the boards and eagerly awaited the first clue (card?) to drop. We were even more excited to see that it was located in our home region of California.

After grabbing some sandwiches, we headed off to the appropriate starting location. It was a warm day, but the half kilometer walk wasn’t bad, sporting some mixed shade and colorful wildflowers. From there the translated clues were fairly clear to follow and the box was discovered safe and sound.

The stamp is of one of the minor Tarot cards and part of the reading. When you first open the reading, there are 4 unturned cards at the bottom of the clue and 4 boxes listed in the series, so we were anticipating a journey with several steps. On the website, once you select the found card from the drop down menus, it will reveal the clue to the next box. We looked at the clue long enough to conclude it had a different starting location and called it done for the day.

Because there are 21 of the major cards in the main drop down list, we suspect there will be 21 Tarot Readings/listings with 4 Boxes/cards each. These will likely be spread out from oceanul to oceanul as we have already seen them in California and New Hampshire. Hopefully one of them will be close to you. They are definitely worth seeking out, but be prepared that the 4 boxes may be in different locations. After working on the second clue, it definitely seems possible to hit multiple locations on a single outing, but individual mileage may vary.

I've only ever found a 1st finder prize once - and I treasured it. It was a clear keychain. The planter wrote on it in sharpie: "1st Finder - Congrats!" There are reasons for 1st finder prizes, for sure. And also - the reason for this post -

I'm going to start adding Finder Prizes to my new and older boxes. It's there for whoever wants it. If the first finder doesn't want it/already has it/etc, they can leave it for someone who does want it. I'll label it Finder Prize so it doesn't get mistaken for a geocache.

I've got 'em. They're cute. They'll be launching soon :D

Ghostery. I haven't seen a youtube ad in A decade. I don't know how anyone stands it

After far far too long, I've finally had the time and health to crack out the mini zine I started working on last summer and wanted to share! I am still looking for feedback since I'm much more of a hobby artist than I am a graphic designer and trying to nail down the bare essentials has given me more grief than it probably needed to. Perfectionism is the enemy of actually getting things done sometimes haha.

I've uploaded each spread of pages on Imgur and will be sharing the final version as a printable PDF and PNG (and in other formats as requested).

Please let me know what you think! My goal was to design something that can be handed out as a quickstart to noxers, and I tried to add a lot of visuals both for added interest and so any kids who may end up with a copy can still follow along even if they can't read every word yet. I need to survive the remainder of my final semester of university but I'd love to do more of these for other topics as well!

PAL DAY (2026) Our Annual International Plant A Letterbox Day event has not been listed yet?!?! Wronghat where are you?!?!

I like it! Full disclosure, I'm at work so didn't examine all of the type, but graphically, I think it's great!

At an event, we bought a handful of 'first finder patches. They were pretty well done. I sprinkled them in boxes we put out. But I don't remember who I bought them from.

Whoops! There we go.

Woot woot! Thank you!

I used to put stickers in mine but realized that most of them weren't taken by the first finder so I stopped doing it. I feel like it was a waste of my time and resources. It's nice to find someone who enjoys the little trinkets you'd get.

I cut out a bunch of butterflies with my cricut and then wrote on it "First Finder!" with the box name and number. I assumed the person would take it and put it in their book next to the stamp, as a little reminder that they were the first finder of that stamp. But it kind of disappointed me when I'd go back to check on a local box and see it still there with a bunch of people who had logged into the log book. Oh well.
