Which is the largest carnivorous land animal?
Today's large carnivorous land mammals, including the record-setting polar bears—which usually weigh around half a ton but can grow to weigh nearly a ton, are threatened in part because of the energy intake-and-expenditure equation, Carbone told LiveScience.

Deck: Dark Goddess Tarot
Spread: Card of the Day
Date: Mon Nov 19 23:17:58 EST 2018
Today's Card
Ten of Earth ~ Ala (Reversed)
Igbo Goddess of the Ground
Kin and kind, living and dead, all are part of one another.
Ala, also known as Ana, is the goddess of the ground for the Igbo people of Nigeria. For the Igbo, all ground is holy ground because it is all Ala. She is the totality of the earth in all its variety and appearances, from lush growth to the emptiness of fallow fields. She is there at the beginning of life, and she is there at the end. She makes the baby grow in the mother. She takes the souls of the dead into her own womb.
Wood or mud statues of Ala are painted in bright colors and are housed in temples or set in the center of the village. The goddess, the ancestors, and the earth are ever present and always acknowledged. The statues show Ala as a beautiful Igbo woman, with a long torso and long, thick neck.
The majority of her people are small farmers, in intimate relationship with the land. Their staple crop is the yam. Their fields are so fruitful they export food to neighboring peoples. The yam festival is the party of the year, celebrated with joyful dancing and colorful pageantry, and honoring Ala as earth, goddess, and harvest,. The powerful python is venerated as her messenger, and the fertile crescent moon is her symbol.
Ala is also the goddess of morality and judgment, the keeper of the customs and laws of her people, as all the people’s actions take place upon her ground. If someone breaks a taboo of the community, one has also insulted Ala and might immediately be swallowed whole by the earth. Everyone in the community has to respect the laws of Ala, because all live on her, and all suffer if Ala suffers. Creating a good and abundant life is a communal responsibility, working in harmony with what the ground gives.
When Ala appears:
If there is bad blood between you and another, this is a good time to make peace. Let the relationship be honest, neither idealized nor denied. Let your encounter be respectful and straightforward. If the other has transgressed too severely, let the relationship go. Leave the other to Ala. Do not seek vengeance, seek people who are trustworthy.
If you have had good fortune, this is a good time to celebrate it. Gather friends and family for a feast. Buy things of value for your home and gifts for your loved ones. Buy from your community. Support people whose work you admire. Include the less fortunate in your giving.
Put your hands on the bare earth. Feel the immensity opening up beneath them. Everything is there beneath you, and all around you. The past and the future, the dead and the unborn. The power to bring forth all things time and again. Feel this power swell up into own hands, and know what you can make, what you can give.
Renew this basic connection with the earth on a regular basis. With hands and feet and more. Remember where your life comes from and where your life is lived.

Deck: The Shining Tribe Tarot • 7 of Stones (Upright)
Spread: Card of the Day
Date: Tue Nov 20 09:28:31 EST 2018
Today's Card
7 of Stones (Upright)
They gather 'round her
to sing her way through.
They dance, and shout, and clap their hands,
calling her baby into the light.
The image in the top half of this card comes from from an Indian medallion that I first saw when writer Rosemary Dudley brought it back from a trip to her spiritual teacher in India. Known as the "Seven Standing Birth Goddesses", medallions such as this one help women invoke their local Goddesses when giving birth. I have colored the Goddesses with the progression of the rainbow, which are the same colors found in the human body at the seven chakras (energy centers found along the spine).
Below the medallion we see a soft hilly landscape with a Sun rising like a pregnant woman's belly. In the foreground stands a toad, yet another symbol of the birth-giving Goddess. The archaeologist Marija Gimbutas has written of the toad's resemblance to a woman squatting to bring forth a child, and has shown how this identification has persisted all the way from the Stone Age to modern times. Here we also can see the resemblance of the toad form to the Shining Vision glyph.
Gimbutas describes the many associations of the toad which still hold power in European folklore. Women in labor will sometimes pin a dead toad to the door of their homes. Others will make toads of wax, iron, silver, and wood to give as offerings to the Virgin Mary, Christian image of motherhood.
These many images of the Mother Goddess connect this card to nurturing in all its forms. Something needs to be born, an actual child, or a creative project, or a relationship. The appearance of this card indicates help and nurturance through difficulties in giving birth. The person may receive support and encouragement, or may be called upon to help someone else.
Divinatory meanings: Mothering, feeling supported or supporting others, protection at a difficult time.
Reversed: Laboring to give birth, or to create ideas or work.
