Tarot Professionalism:
The Good, The Bad, and The Sketchy
As
the years have gone by, I’ve watched Tarot wax and wane in popularity,
only to surge back each time, with more fans than ever.
No doubt about it: since I started reading the cards back in the dark ages, Tarot is much more acceptable. And available.
Where
once there were only three or four types of decks that took substantial
effort to hunt down, now with just the click of a mouse, anyone can
choose from thousands of decks, to suit any age, budget, taste,
or point of view. Tarot creation has enjoyed a Renaissance not seen
since.. um.. the Renaissance!
And
the heavy woo factor around it has calmed considerably, too, as more
and more “regular” people are discovering that it is a reliable, easily
understood tool they can use themselves, for insight and guidance.
At the same time, the numbers of people who now call themselves professional Tarot readers has grown exponentially, too.
Used to be, there weren't so many of us. Oh, sure, there were always the
kinds of places like that one near Myrtle Beach on Highway 17 with the
neon "Palm Readings and Tarot" sign in the window, a busted refrigerator
in the back yard, and the orange Trans-Am up on blocks, right?
Not exactly in the same category as most of the readers I know, who are serious, sincere, skillful professionals.
But what IS the difference really? Read more here.

 Green Living:
Seafood Mindfulness
As
you are probably aware, not only are our oceans and fresh waters being
impacted by global climate change, overfishing and pollution are also
threatening the biosphere of our waters.
The famed Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch
program helps consumers and businesses make wise choices for healthy
oceans. Their recommendations indicate which seafood items are "Best
Choices," "Good Alternatives," and which ones you should "Avoid." You
can get a downloadable guide or app specifically written for your geographic area by going here.
Their ratings are based on a number of factors, including concerns about
how the fish are caught or farmed. Their "Super Green" category
suggests only fish that are good for you and good for the oceans. To
qualify, the best of the best --
- Have low levels of mercury (below 216 parts per billion [ppb])
- Provide at least 250 milligrams per day (mg/d) of omega-3s
- Are classified as a Seafood Watch "Best Choice" (green)
So which do they recommend? Here are their picks, as compiled in 2013:
- Atlantic Mackerel (purse seine from Canada and the U.S.)
- Freshwater Coho Salmon (farmed in tank systems, from the U.S.)
- Pacific Sardines (wild-caught)
- Salmon (wild-caught, from Alaska)
- Salmon, Canned (wild-caught, from Alaska)
- Albacore Tuna (troll- or pole-caught, from the U.S. or British Columbia)
- Sablefish/Black Cod (from Alaska and Canadian Pacific)
And
you should avoid: Red grouper from the Gulf of Mexico, swordfish,
Chilean seabass, blue and striped marlin, Atlantic cod, red king crab,
imported mahi mahi, orange roughy, shark, swordfish, farmed Atlantic
salmon, Atlantic halibut, imported shrimp, red snapper, and wild
sturgeon caviar.
And here's some additional helpful advice. If you like to treat your
cat with canned cat food, the Sheba® brand adheres to the "green"
guidelines for healthy, sustainable, Earth-friendly practices.
Through making wiser choices, we can help restore healthy, abundant oceans for everyone.
Remember -
Every little bit makes a world of difference.
