*   World Tarot Day (Worldwide) Day to encourage people to seek out the wisdom the tarot can give.

*   Trust in the Force Day (somewhere probably, if not it should be) In 1977 the film Star Wars is released, as they said that at one time there were more people in England saying they are Jedi than there are people saying they are Jewish, Buddhist or Sikh I guess that makes this a religious holiday.

*   Africa Day (Liberia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and others) held to commemorate the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963, known as African Union (AU) at present. African Union, covering 54 members of African states, is meant to face the troubles such as poverty, natural disasters, extreme weather, and armed conflict in Africa.

*   Towel Day (worldwide, more or less)Don’t panic, just an annual celebration of the works of the late Douglas Adams (1952-2001) which I’m told is “celebrated” worldwide as well as, I assume, at the Restaurant at the End of Time, mostly however by people taking pictures of themselves holding towels and putting them on various social media on the internet.

And Happy Birthday Goofy! “Born” 1932.

Despite the image above  no there is NOT a Star Wars Tarot, Lucus Films was asked a number of times and would have nothing  do with it, and you can count right out Disney ever saying yes, however a number of people have given their idea of what it would look like such as the one by Susie Cavill above found at
