Authentic Mexican Art

The Huichol or Wixaritari are a native American ethnic group of western central Mexico, and are decendants from the Aztec empire. The Huichol number in the raange of 18,000, most of whom live in the Sierra Madre Occidental range in the Mexican states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Zacatecas and Durango.

Even though the Spaniards conquered most of Mexico, the extreme remoteness and rugged mountain ranges of the Huichol Indians spared them from Spanish colonization, and left them substantially unchanged from their Mexican culture. They remain one of the last tribes of people in North America who still live much as they did in pre-Colombian times, maintaining the same ageless rituals and beliefs. The Huichols are considered by many anthropologists to be an invaluable window to the past.

  

Their masks and figures are created by pressing beads, one at a time, into a beeswax-pine resin covered wooden art form. Each piece is exquisite and "one of a kind." One of their major art-forms – the beaded mask, is used for sacred rituals. Gourd bowls, and spirit figures are prominent in their work, and are created with the aid of "visions."Beaded gourd bowls are often left as offerings during pilgrimages, and can be found on the altars of Huichol homes and temples. Beaded masks and spirit figures record the dream visions of the women and men who create them. Designs emphasizing --Grandfather Fire, Double-Headed Eagles, Deer, Serpent, Lighting, Wands, Corn, Nierikas -- tell the story of Huichol mythology.

What is a Freddy Fudpucker?

If you are a tequila drinker, you might wonder what types of tequila will give you a hangover and how many different types of drinks, using Tequila, have been invented? There are literally hundreds of tequila brands, and the quality of a given tequila actually depends on the type and brand. Tequila isn't really meant to be shot. If you get the right tequila type, you should be able to sip it just like a good bourbon. However, for most party goers cheap tequila is often served in a shot glass, with some salt and a lime, to hide the taste.

Really good tequilas are made from the agave plant commonly referred to as blue agave, mezcal or maguey. There are two main types of Tequila: 1) 100% agave, which is made entirely of Blue Weber Agave -- richer with bold flavors; and 2) mixtos. Rule of thumb, if “100% de Agave” is not on the label, it’s probably mixtos. Mixtos fermentation generally constitutes alcohol production from ~51% agave sugars (or more), with the rest coming from fructose and glucose sugar.

Tequilas can be classified further according to their aging process and bottled in five categories:

November 20 commemorates the 101st anniversary of the Mexican Revolution which started on November 20, 1910 when Francisco I. Madero planned an uprising against dictator Porfirio Díaz's 31-year-long iron rule. Article 74 of the Mexican labor law (Ley Federal del Trabajo) provides that the third Monday of November (regardless the date) will be an official holiday in Mexico. This was a modification of the law made in 2005, effective since 2006; before then, it was November 20 regardless of the day, and all schools gave extended holidays if the day was a Tuesday or Thursday. Although November 20 is the official day, the uprising started on different days in different parts of the country and was the start of the popular movement which led to the overthrow of dictator José de la Cruz Porfirio Díaz Mori after 34 years of military rule but ushered in over a decade of civil war which ultimately led to the promulgation of the nation’s constitution in 1917 and the 1920 ascension to the presidency of General Álvaro Obregón.
