Scholars trace the origins of the modern holiday to indigenous observances dating back thousands of years, and to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl (known in English as "The Lady of the Dead").
The Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage (and others) living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and relatives who have died. The celebration occurs on the 1st and 2nd of November, in connection with the Catholic holy days of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day which take place on those days. Traditions include building private altars honoring the deceased, using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts.
Many people believe that during the Day of the Dead, it is easier for the souls of the departed to visit the living. People will go to cemeteries to communicate with the souls of the departed, and will build private altars, containing the favorite foods and beverages, and photos and memorabilia, of the departed. The intent is to encourage visits by the souls, so that the souls will hear the prayers and the comments of the living directed to them. Celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.

I caught-up with London Boggs, who was in New York just after learning her tarot card concept had been accepted into The New York Gift Fair's "Best and Newest" category. She was modest and at the same time obviously very pleased; "We hadn't anticipated that the new version of our old self-published deck would create all the excitement not to mention the drama, that this deck has! We can hardly keep them in stock. Consumers have spoken and it's clear, they are sick and tired of paying 800 psychics and less than authentic computer generated online tarot card reading services, in essence middlemen... some of which with questionable business practices, for tarot card readings.
People want to be in control of their own futures and their own tarot card readings. We saw a huge void in the tarot industry and an unspoken consumer desire for a easy, self-guided tarot experience. So over a period of years we developed and refined a tarot deck that has literally taken the mystery out of tarot card reading, and in the process revolutionized a very old and outdated industry that appears to be on its last leg.
There are no gimmicks and there's no trickery. Everything one requires to interpret a tarot card reading is all in the cards....the original Do-It-Yourself Tarot®, that is." London said.
