Welcome to The Ofrenda Oracle, a bilingual deck and guidebook inspired by el Día de los Muertos—the celebration honoring the Beloved Dead
 
During the annual (traditionally Mexican) Día de los Muertos celebration, the family members of a person who has died will place items with special significance on a home altar in order to welcome the deceased. This ofrenda, or offering, may be quite large and elaborate. The initial inspiration for this deck came from San Diego’s close association with Mexico and this yearly celebration of the Dead that typically runs from October 31 through November 2. From those vivid images and joyful celebrations came the idea for this kit of colorful cards.
 
The Ofrenda Oracle includes a sixty-card deck and a 136-page guidebook. The cards and booklet are printed in both English and Spanish. The first thirty-six cards mirror those found in a Lenormand deck and can be used on their own as a stand-alone deck.
