Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca stays true to its roots Arts & CultureTravelby Alysa Hullett - Nov 5, 2015
Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca stays true to its roots
In the sprawling Xoxocotlan cemetery nestled in Oaxaca, Mexico, people with painted skull faces drink beer, light incense and tell stories around the graves of their loved ones.
The candlelit gravesite boomed with sound — mariachi bands, personal stereos playing hits, laughter. Dozens of tents line the site’s fence, offering everything from refried beans and cheese tlayudas to hotdogs. People place marigolds, mezcal, sugar skulls and other gifts as offerings to the deceased.
While Day of the Dead, which spans from Nov. 1 to 2, has commercialized or turned Halloween-like elsewhere in Mexico, Oaxaca remains a bit truer to the celebration’s roots. No movie stars, nurses or conventional Disney princesses marched along in the parades or gathered at the bars.
Most people paint their faces like La Calavera Catrina, or the elegant skull, an ode to the zinc etching drawn in the early 1900s by the famous Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada. The female skeleton, adorned with a typical hat worn by an upper-class French woman at the time, satires the Mexican natives who Posada thought were desperate to adopt European aristocratic culture.
A far cry from Halloween, Day of the Dead is a two-day celebration of the spirits of the dead. Traditionally, on the first day, All Saints Day, children invite the angelitos, or spirits of dead children, to return to visit. On the second day, families honor the adult spirits.
Artisan Juan Toribio, born and raised in Oaxaca, said the festival is primarily to “remember those who have passed together — to remember them every year, every year, every year, so they’ll never be forgotten.”
“Every flower, loaf of bread or bottle of mezcal we leave for them serves as a beautiful gift,” Toribio said. “May they rest in peace.”
Cindy Ferrell, an English teacher from Seattle, said she understands how Americans may have trouble understanding the spirit of the festival. At home, celebrating death may sound morbid, but in Mexico and other Latin countries, the deep-seated tradition intends to honor both life and death.
Historians trace the festival’s origins to a centuries-old observance by the Aztecs. Thousands of years before that, indigenous groups in the country were thought to celebrate the death of ancestors with similar rituals.
Oaxaca has become somewhat of a hub for the event that draws visitors from all over. Ferrell said she came back to Oaxaca for a second time for the event because of the beauty of the traditions and culture.
“It’s incredible,” she said. “We have nothing like this at home. … People don’t even know where Halloween started.”
Benita Clemente, from the Mexican state of Mazatlán, travels to the festival each year to sell her vibrant, hand-woven bags and wallets. She said Oaxaca’s Día de Los Muertos celebration is special.
“Everyone comes here for it, because everyone loves it here,” she said. “All the cultures from all the different [Mexican] states can get together and share.”

ZIPOLITE OAXACA FOTOS
A lot of travel writers allude to Zipolite as being the quintessential hippie or backpacker haven. And with many dirt-cheap cabanas available, even in the high season, it is that. But this kilometer and a half long beach actually attracts a much wider variety of people than that — surfers in search of good waves, gay bourgeois Mexicans looking for a safe vacation haven, and a lot of garden-variety alternative lifestyle families looking for an alternative to the beach resorts, just to name a few. All of which seem to be mingling happily among themselves. - See more at: http://www.oaxacanotes.com/Zipolite,_Oaxaca#sthash.qIkMkwGo.dpufhttp://www.oaxacanotes.com/Zipolite,_Oaxaca

How To Make Grasshopper Trail Mix With Oaxacan 'Chapulines'

If you consider yourself a foodie and you want to take a trip, look no further than Oaxaca, one of Mexico's most important gastronomical hubs, for a unique culinary experience.
The southwest state's cuisine is rooted in indigenous traditions that attract food tourists from across the world, including the Travel Channel's Andrew Zimmern. The host of "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" traveled to the region to try several of its delicacies, including the specially seasoned chapulines, or grasshoppers.
In an exclusive clip for The Huffington Post, Hugo Sandoval and Roberto Perez of the Imalim company in Oaxaca show Zimmern the step-by-step process of how to properly cook grasshoppers. The business owners have studied the centuries-long "art" and tradition of preparing chapulines for more than 10 years, and are now attempting to ship their Oaxacan trail mix abroad.

Pot gets green light from Supreme Court Ruling applies only to the four appellants, but opens door to legalization
Pot gets green light from Supreme Court
Ruling applies only to the four appellants, but opens door to legalization
A landmark Supreme Court ruling contradicting Mexican law opens the door to the legalization of marijuana.
By four votes to one, the court’s first chamber approved the cultivation, processing and possession of cannabis for personal use. However, the ruling will only apply to four activists – Josefina Ricaño Vàndala, Armando Santacruz González, José Pablo Girault and Juan Francisco Torres Landa Ruffo – who challenged the law by applying to set up a marijuana club in 2013 for recreational, non-commercial use.
They will now be able to proceed with their plans – knowing full well that in doing so they have successfully used the legal system to undermine the law against cannabis use.
However, the government stressed that the court ruling does not mean that anyone else is now free to cultivate cannabis for personal consumption and that the General Health Law outlawing marijuana still applies to others.
“The ruling will only apply to the persons it protects – the resolution of the first chamber does not legalize the supply or sale [of cannabis],” said Humberto Castellejos, legal counsel in the office of the president. “Growing it with any other objective, even for recreation, is a crime according to the law.”
Nevertheless, campaigners for legalization including the four activists who challenged the law, are optimistic that the ruling will pave the way for an eventual dismantling of Mexico’s strict marijuana laws.
“This is a tremendously powerful decision that could open the way for real change,” said Santacruz Gonzàlez. “We’ve made history. It’s the first hole in the dike.”
The ruling is the first of its kind and establishes a precedent for similar cases in future. Four more like it would establish jurisprudence and require the federal government to change Mexico’s cannabis laws.
Another legalization campaigner, Hector Aguilar Camín, also welcomed the ruling. “This is a watershed decision; we have to start separating the substance from the hell produced by its persecution,” he said in reference to Mexico’s drug wars, which have killed thousands of people.
“Our objective was always to change drug policy in this country, which is one of the main motors for the violence, corruption and the violation of human rights in Mexico,” said Santacruz Gonzàlez.
Mexican law permits possession of up to five grams of cannabis, but activists say this is a halfway measure as few users buy such small amounts.
Despite the media coverage the case has garnered, and the estimated US $1.5 billion a year marijuana generates for the criminal cartels that produce and traffic it, cannabis use in Mexico is believed to be low – about 2% of the population according to one estimate in 2011.
Moreover, a recent poll put the number of Mexicans in favor of legalizing it at just one in five, as opposed to 77% who opposed such a measure.
Supreme Court Judge Arturo Zaldivar, who proposed the ruling, based his argument on the human right to “personal development” and recreation that did not harm others. However, Zaldivar’s 88-page report did not make any reference to cannabis seeds, an omission cited by the one judge who opposed the ruling, Jorge Mario Pardo Rebolledo.
“How does one guarantee the right to exercise consumer rights. Where are they going to get the seeds from?” he asked, suggesting that the four activists would still be breaking the law by seeking to acquire cannabis seeds to facilitate personal cultivation.
