February 10 AND WEEK for me!

I think we should celebrate by taking a day off work giving marathon readings all day in public. And emphasize love readings for pre-Valentine's Day!

February.

Because:

a) July 22 is already something, i.e. the day of St. Magdalene.

b) and more important, for people who are not Christian it would make a whole lot more sense to have a 'religion-neutral' day!

Thanks for that thought! I hadn't thought about it that way (and originally voted for April Fool's Day).

But I do think seizing a neutral day is a *very* good idea. (and before pedants remind me, of course every single day of the year is crowded by Christian saints - but can you name off the top of your head any Christian - or indeed any formal religion's - claim on Februrary 10? (no looking on Google now)).

I voted for the February day/week =)

Great idea, btw, I've never thought of a Tarot day.

I voted for February, too. It's such a dull month and it needs something to brighten it up!

I voted for July because there's nothing else going on during that month (except for July 4 which is no longer an event for which I have to prepare since my kids are grown). On reflection, however, I think perhaps the May date might be better because it's less associated with other elements. ;)

Looks like a run-a-way for Feb. week.
 

6 Haunted Days

None of the choices.

What's the plan? A Tarot day on AT? What would we do? Talk more about Tarot than we do?

Yup. St. Scholastica and this year it was also the first Sunday in Lent. That is another reason why I didn't choose February. Lent.
