  • Day of the Dead, Janitzio island, the cemetery. The celebrations are held from sunset until sunrise, with candles, food and drinks for the souls. The Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), recently declared by UNESCO as an ?oral and intangible cultural heritage of humanity,? is one of Mexico's most cherished traditions, celebrated in cities and villages countrywide, but perhaps nowhere moreso than in the state of Michoacan. During prehispanic times, Patzcuaro's lake was thought to be an important entrance to the ?Inframundo? - the Indian Underworld. During Dia de Muertos, the Inframundo's doors open, and the souls of the departed return to earth to visit their earth-bound family and friends. At night in the small graveyard on Janitzio Island, illuminated only by a sea of candles, Purepecha women speak quietly with beloved departed souls at graves adorned with offerings of food, candies, liquor, cigarettes, evertything their dead  enjoyed while alive.

The Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), recently declared by UNESCO as an “oral and intangible cultural heritage of humanity,” is one of Mexico’s most cherished traditions, celebrated in cities and villages countrywide, but perhaps nowhere moreso than in the state of Michoacan. During prehispanic times, Patzcuaro’s lake was thought to be an important entrance to the “Inframundo” – the Indian Underworld. During Dia de Muertos, the Inframundo’s doors open, and the souls of the departed return to earth to visit their earth-bound family and friends. At night in the small graveyard on Janitzio Island, illuminated only by a sea of candles, Purepecha women speak quietly with beloved departed souls at graves adorned with offerings of food, candies, liquor, cigarettes, evertything their dead  enjoyed while alive.

  • Around Sfat. Tomb of Rabbi Yonathan Ben Uzziel, "specialised" in help to find the soul mate. Tzfat, Israel’s highest city in upper Galilee, is one of the 4 holy cities of Israel with Jerusalem, Tiberias and Hebron. Perhaps this proximity to the heaven, blue like the colour of the doorways in the cobbled passages, accounts for its reputation as the "Capital of Kabbalah", the Jewish mystical tradition. The Kabbalistic wisdom, the oldest in the history of mankind, investigates and explains the codes of universe and for thousands of years very few Jewish mystics knew the secrets of Kabbalah. For many centuries Tzfat has been the home of masters of Kabbalah and after their expulsion from Spain in 1492 many jews arrived in Tzfat, seeking refuge in tolerant Ottoman Empire, attracting the best scholars of Kabbalah. The Tzfat’s modern-day mystics come from different background, descendants of traditional rabbis but also baalei t’shuva, “masters of return” turned to Hasidic Judaism after a life in a agnostic background.
