May 25 - World Tarot Day™

Happy World Tarot Day™! Every day is Tarot Day at Tarot.com, but on May 25, Tarot card readers, teachers, and fans from around the globe celebrate today as a chance to honor a shared love of this ancient art of divination. 

Celebrated every year on May 25, World Tarot Day™ was founded by Tarot Grandmaster Den Elder in 2003. This was after she had grown tired of hearing negative and misinformed comments in the media. She then decided that it was time to show the world at large the value of Tarot cards. 

"I wanted a day of celebration... " Elder said in an interview for the American Tarot Association.  

She notes it's "...a day to share our love for this tool and get over our differences. A day everybody could just come together and have some nice fun and make an effort to help those unfamiliar with Tarot to realize it has a lot of positive attributes." 

Elder, like so many of us, said she uses Tarot as a tool for spiritual guidance, meditation, and intuitive clarification when she needs a little help. It is a way to tap into our wise intuition and hear the inner voice we sometimes have trouble listening to. 

Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin, founders of Tarot Professionals, have been promoting the event in recent years.  

Now, on World Tarot Day™, Tarot card enthusiasts around the world will come together to host parties, classes, fairs, online Tarot readings and gatherings that encourage the use of Tarot as an authentic spiritual method of self-discovery and divination for modern life. 

Celebrate with Tarot.com by browsing all of their beautiful Tarot decks, getting a personalized Tarot reading for life, love, or career, and learning more about the history of Tarot and the benefits of doing a daily Tarot reading.

May 25 - National Towel Day

Happy National Towel Day! Observed annually by fans of English author, screenwriter, essayist, humorist, satirist and dramatist Douglas Adams.  

National Towel Day commemorates the work of the author, most known for his comedy science fiction pentalogy series The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1978–1980). 

First and foremost, it’s important to note for those who are unfamiliar with Adams, according to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, “A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” 

And that’s mighty important. Even we mere Earthly hitchhikers require towels for many immensely useful purposes. We dry our furry pets and roll towels neatly into coordinated rows.  

On long trips, they ease the kinks in our necks. Even our tiny humans use them to dry off after taking a swim. Though, perhaps not very effectively. It can also offer shade on a sunny day. 

National Day Calendar® has found that towels in small forms are effective for sport, too. 

Golfers and bowlers use them as well. Add a small towel to a footballer’s hip and call it a flag or wave a white one in a battle to surrender. 

In an emergency, a towel can stop bleeding or can carry the wounded. It also can cool a fever. 

Wrap it around you on a cool day. Wash a car or wipe up the oil. A really large towel might suffice for a toga party. However, in reality, it probably wouldn’t. 

The list of options goes on both here on Earth and beyond in every galaxy. The important lesson of the day is, don’t leave home without your towel. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Pack your towel to celebrate the day. And when you do, be sure to share all the ways to use your towel. Join the conversation using #TowelDay on social media. 

HISTORY 

In 2001, National Towel Day was created by Douglas Adams’ fans as a tribute to the author two weeks after his death from a heart attack on May 11 of that year. He was 49.

May 25 - National Brown-Bag It Day

Happy National Brown-Bag It Day! On May 25 each year, today recognizes the benefits of packing your lunch for work or school. 

Taking your lunch to work or school is an effective way to save money and to ensure you and your family are eating healthy. 

If you work where a refrigerator and microwave are available, the options are nearly endless. Insulated lunchboxes with an icepack fill the gap where modern conveniences are lacking.  

When neither is an option, there are still many health choices such as peanut butter, fresh fruits and vegetables, and protein bars. A thermos is also a good source for taking warm food with you for your lunch. 

Some of the benefits to brown-bagging-it include:

• • Money savings – For every meal you make at home, you can save several dollars a day. This is especially true if you are normally prone to eating meals out or ordering in from restaurants. And if you’re eating out of the vending matching, the savings add up there as well. 

• • Improved health choices – Will power and peer pressure don’t go well together. And when time is in short supply, we continue our poor decision making patterns. At home, we can plan our meals, and our choices are limited to the items we place in our fridge and cupboards. With practice, those items will be healthy ones, too. 

• • Controlled portions – Even though we try to control our portions while eating out, we know the serving size just keep getting bigger and bigger. When we brown-bag-it, we maintain that control. 

• • Better for the environment – When we re-use the same containers and recycle, we have more control over what is wasted. We also choose where our food is sourced. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

  

Pack up your lunch in a brown paper bag. Or a white one for that matter. Pick your favorite foods and enjoy a homemade lunch.
