Santisima Muerte Santa Muerte Holy Death Spiritual Supplies

I couldn't remember where this question was.
I wasn't going to answer, because it's not my specialty and it's been a couple days so there is probbly some resolution, but since no one else answered...

If you are really concerned you could get a divination by someone who works with her and knows her; that will give you a legit definite answer.

Personally, I think it would probably be okay (it's situational of course) and I would pray, explain what happened, maybe offer her two pieces as replacement and, ...most importantly... move my Santa Muerte altar to where my 3 year old couldn't get to it.

I keep my ancestor altar up high in the living room where my kids can't reach and my working altar (which includes my saints) in my office where they don't go.

I had done exactly as you advised. I prayed and offered chocolate in addition to the one I had replaced. I did a pendulum divination and everything is ok. I didn't receive any indication that she was bothered by it but nevertheless I was concerned. I keep my altar on a high shelf in my kitchen. It's one of the only places in my house I have. The only reason my son got the chocolate was because I set it down on the counter to get ready to go outside and bury it. Thank you for your response

Hi there

Can someone please advise

I was thinking about working with Santisima Muerte last night, so as I was laying in bed I prayed to God then I spoke to her.
I explained that I wanted to ask her to work with me and I recited a few things and told her of my situation and what I wanted her to help me with. As I was speaking to her, my whole body felt thick and tingly, quite an unusual feeling. It was like a 'blanket' feeling came over me.

Obviously I had no candles on as I was in bed. I did make a promise (which I will keep) if she could help me I would give her flowers, brown sugar, chocolate etc.

I fell asleep shortly after.

I had a dream and I dreamt of her. I don't want to go into detail, but the message was she knew what spells I had cast in the past. This could be just coincidence though.

Now, the thick tingly feeling I had didn't alarm me, but is this a sign that she was listening to me? What should I do?

I would really like to know has she listened to me, is she working with me? x

If you're unsure about a feeling or a sign, you can always do a quick divination to determine if what you felt or dreamed of is in relation to the issue. I would simply ask "Was Santa Muerte attempting to communicate with me through my dreams" or "Is Santa Muerte willing to work with me on this specific issue?"

If divination tells you to proceed, create an altar to Santa Muerte and start building a relationship with her before asking her to help you. Good luck.

AKissForMe · Unread post by **AKissForMe** » Wed May 23, 2012 9:22 am

Thank you for your reply.

How do I do a divination to see if she wants to work with me.?

And how would I 'Know" she wants to work with me.?

The feeling I had the other night was like I was being consumed by a very strong energy.

Would really like to start working with her

Also which prayer can I use for love for a particular person, and is it a problem if I don't have a picture of this person? I have name, date of birth and some hair.

Thanks.

In a tarot reading, the Death card seldom means the death of a person. It usually means the death of an old way or releasing that which is no longer needed or wanted. Although Santisima Muerte is petitioned by those who face physical death, many of her devotees are seeking to change their lives for the better by ridding themselves of poverty and disease. It is necessary to release some things to clear the way for better things to appear.

At first, I did not understand why people pray to Santa Muerte, but it makes sense now.

Thank you Santa Muerte for making the impossible possible. Thank you for the patience you have shown me and the guidance you gave me. I humbly thank you for your intercession.

I have read allot about this saint, and I just need some information on exactly what I need to purchase. There are many different candles, but they seem to all be used for the same purpose. I also read that there is a prayer you say while you are putting the string around the statue, then you say prayers each day. Do you say the prayer for the string and the first day prayer on the same day? If there is anyone that knows what I need to order, and how I need to work this, please instruct me on what to do. Thank you!

I think that is one way of working with Holy death. I would check out lucky mojo's page on holy death and follow those directions

http://www.luckymojo.com/santisimamuerte.html

If not you can get some magical coaching working with Santisma Muerte. She is a demanding saint one that you need to be knowledgeable working with. So perhaps you want to get some magical coaching from someone from AIRR. I think Lou Florez works with holy death and you may want to contact him for help

I have read that several times, but what I am asking is what is the difference in the colors of the statues and candles? When I say the string prayer do I say it on the same day as I start the day 1 prayer on a Sunday? I will do the string prayer, then follow it immediately with day 1 prayer? When I light the candles is there a certain color I need to use or a certain kind of candle?

Many people have said that she may not want to work with certain people. Before I make a ton of purchases and start this work, what can I do to see if she will want to work with me?

Mama Micki · Unread post by **Mama Micki** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:37 am

You can do divination or have it done for you. Look for signs and pay attention to dreams. You do not need to make "a ton of purchases." Start small, maybe a bottle of oil and some incense, then if she wants to work with you, you can add to your supplies as you go.

As with every other spiritual practice, many people want to take their own perceptions, beliefs, and experiences and apply them universally. For example, if a person thinks it is wrong to drink alcohol, he or she may want to restrict others from doing so also.

Death is the one thing we all have to face. Santa Muerte works with all types of people, especially those that are on the fringes of "respectable" society. She reminds us that our time on earth is limited, so we can remember that each day is a gift from God.

How would you suggest I do a Divination with SM? She seems to be different and expects much more. I want to be sure I am asking her correctly and getting the signs so I know if she is willing to work with me or not.

Mama Micki · Unread post by **Mama Micki** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 6:48 pm

Signs are very individual. I got a sign from her when I was shopping and saw (and purchased) a bottle of tequila (a brand I had never seen or heard of before) with Day of Dead drawings on it. Many signs are subtle; you need to pay attention.

Divination can be done with tarot or oracle cards, bibliomancy, or any other method in which you are skilled. You can also consult a member of AIRR: http://www.readersandrootworkers.org

Which color candle you use depends on your intention. Her statues also come in a variety of colors. I'll PM you a link to a Wikipedia article which explains the color meanings, among other aspects of Santa Muerte.

Mama Micki · Unread post by **Mama Micki** » Sat Jun 23, 2012 8:32 am

I made some changes to the prayer to Santa Muerte that ShadoWalker posted to make it easier to read and use. The original prayer was probably in Spanish; I have tried to make it more accessible to English speakers.

LORD, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I ask your permission to invoke the Holy Death, your White Daughter. Santisima Muerte, I humbly ask that you break and destroy all spells and darkness that present themselves before me, my home, and my path. Please relieve me of all envy, poverty, hate, and unemployment, and I ask that you grant me ______. Enlighten my home and my work with your holy presence, and fill me and my loved ones with love, health, prosperity, and wellbeing. Blessed and praised be your charity, Holy Death. LORD, I give you thanks because I see your charity through the tests which are perfecting my spirit, and through these tests I will have your holy blessings. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN

In church today we sang the old hymn "All Creatures of Our God and King" with words by St. Francis of Assisi. One verse seemed pertinent to this topic:

And thou, most kind and gentle death,
waiting to hush our latest breath . . .
Thou leadest home the child of God,
and Christ our Lord the way hath trod.

Just wanted to add that she is very evident here in southern California. yesterday I was in downtown Los Angeles, on my way to an event. i stopped into a shop. There was a small shrine to Santisma Muerte set up and patrons were invited to enter and submit their petitions or to pray. There were offerings and candles everywhere and I looked at it with fascination. The owner suggested I go in to say hello to the saint; I declined politely, saying I would respect her from a distance (for now). I got the feeling she is very powerful indeed, but don't think I should be working with her on my petitions. The vibe I got from the shrine was one of mutual acknowledgement and I'll leave it at that. I've worked with some darker goddesses back in the day (like Kali, Pele, Hecate and others) and know to trust my instinct. But the devotion shown to her in this tiny shrine was just amazing. A formidable saint to be sure!

I have never worked with the holy death but thinking about it my boyfriend broke up with me and I want to bring him back I have worked with saint Martha and ven a mi candle And also the intranquil spirit all these candles are burning but very very slow and someone told
Me when they burn slow its a chance of it not working that's why I was thinking of working with the holy death but have a few questions do I need to build an alter? Or can I just buy the holy death red glass candle and do the nine day prayer? I will not be able to get his semen so is it still possible? Also if she brings my lover back will she take something away from
Me? I've heard that and it makes me skeptical on working with her. Someone pls give me some clarity into this.

Mama Micki · Unread post by **Mama Micki** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 1:51 pm

If you work with Santa Muerte, you should set up some type of altar. It does not have to be elaborate; a table or dresser top will do. Common offerings to her are cigarettes, tequila, chocolate, fruit, and flowers.

However, if you are "skeptical," get a reading done to see if Holy Death is willing to work with you and if your ex-boyfriend is worth the time, trouble, and money to try to get him back. Since your petitions to St. Martha and the Intranquil Spirit have so far been unsuccessful, it might be time to do a Cut and Clear and move on.

Hi out there, I used santisima muerte a long time ago for love matters & she always answered.
My ? Is, can I use her 4 other matters, other than love, the white or black candle.
I kn there r other candles & saints 4 other matters, but I kn she is very very powerful & would like 2 use her. I can't remember if I hav used her 4 other matters before, it's been sometime, never thought I would need her help again!!

Hope 2 hear from someone out there.

I wouldn't "use" Santa Muerte she doesn't like that. But if you ask her for help in a positive situations you need the white candle. For negative, black. I have asked for her assistance in love matters and I burned a red candle but she comes to me in visions dressed in all different colors. I actually developed a relationship with her. If you ask for her assistance that frequently you should also.

Mama Micki · Unread post by **Mama Micki** » Mon Aug 13, 2012 3:54 pm

White, red, and black are the traditional colors for Santisima Muerte, but now there are images of her in other colors. Some make clothing for their statues also.

She is petitioned for many situations, such as money, jobs, protection, and health. You will start to see signs if she is open to working with you.

Hi, I worked with her along time ago. On Monday night I lite a small candle & talked 2 her.
I asked her if she was willing 2 work with me, tat it has been so long ago tat I used her, put tat If I had ever offended her in any tat I was sorry.
I told her my problem & asked if she could help me. I never felt anything & no signs, nothing nagative.
I did ask the tarot cards & #8 the chariot came up. I took this as a yes.
I lite my 1st candle last night (Tuesday) midnight.
I made her a small promise I know i can keep.

Mag, another person's spiritual practices are his/her choice. You are also free to choose whether or not to work with Holy Death.

Most people would say that you should not make Santa Muerte share an altar with other saints, but Jesus in the Christian faith is the Son of God or God the Son. However, Jesus deserves his own altar, so if you have space, you should create one. It doesn't have to be elaborate.

I had been working with La Santisima Muerte for awhile a little over a year ago. She definitely took me under her wing. I originally needed help with a love situation, but after awhile it was almost like she didn't want me with the person I was asking for help with so I stopped using her for love. I then began using her for protection which she helped me with A LOT, but again the effects started waning after awhile even though I did everything I thought that she would like. I always offered the best offerings I could think of and afford...

I tried working with her again, but the effects weren't as profound as they were before...would these be signs that she doesn't want to work with me any longer?

Also, should I not work with her for anything else besides love? I was wondering if she may have stopped helping because I started only working with her and asked her for help with everything...not just love...

Any help would be lovely! Thanks!

Santa Muerte is petitioned for many things. I started working with her because of health and financial issues. Many people also petition her for protection. You can always get a reading to see if you should petition her again or choose another path.

I started using her again. I did talk 2 her last Monday evening, told her my problem & asked if she would help me. I feel tat she was & is willing 2 help me, I did light my first candle on tuesday midnight & keeping my promise.

I don't understand why people are talking about Santisima Muerte like she is some kind of angry wrathful spirit. She has always been a loving protector and provider to me. Treat her with respect and love and she will do the same to you. Just don't act like she's an attack dog or a genii in a bottle.

In my experience, most spirits of death aren't to be taken lightly, but nor are they unapproachable and irritable. They are usually cold, indifferent (or nonpersonally affectionate), and implacable, much like death itself.

Hi theusurper, I wil share wat I hav learn, 1 st, jut in case, don't hav her with any1 else, in same rm.
Second, I do burn my Jesus candle in another rm., & her in 1 of mine other bed rms.

I don't tell her anything about any other saint, I learned 2 respect her & give her mine all when it's time 2 talk or do 4 her. I don't do much, I put a pretty silk rose, a small vase I bought at a garage sale, I put a pice of candy kiss, 1 wrap & 1 open, they r still good at 2 weeks, sm shot glass of water tat I check & refill every 2 or 3 days. When I start with her I made her a small promise I knew I could keep & since then I just add or change things around. After a week or so she saw tat I was discipline & sincere, she began 2 help me, but I think she could feel mine sincerity.

Apologize 2 her, believe in her, trust her, talk 2 her, tell her how u feel, but most of all tell her how sorry u r & tat u will show her how true u r. When she sees, am sure she will help u, just show her.

u don't hav 2 hav money, Sm & simple stuff r great too. Just keep ur promises!!

I have learn a lot by just relaxing, thinking of her, saying hi, talking 2 her, thanking her & giving her rm 2 help me. Hope this helps.
Good Luck!!

There are some documentaries on youtube about her, but most are in Spanish. I'm not fluent in Spanish, but I found it somehow sweet that people referred to her as "La Flaca" or "the skinny girl."

I don't ask anything of her, I just have a certain love, respect, affection for her. I hope to work with her in the future perhaps, but right now I would rather just enjoy getting to know her. She does have a place of honor in my home.

Hello am new to this page,
I have been working with magic for about 5 years but never with La santisima
The only reason why I started working with her was because the la santisima was
following me at a very young age but i didnt know what it was so
now i have been with her for about 2 months and i have never been so happy

I have been to 5 different readers and they all told me the same thing
that my lover is coming back and they all gave me the same details
that its my mom who broke us up with her black magic...
but one did tell me that i was going to have a child with him as soon as he
comes back that i need to becareful with that

I have asked for my lover back yes. because he left me because he was scared to
fall in love, well i have been asking my holy mother (la santisima) to give me sighs
and one of the first ones was my lover with his x but pusher her away and telling me
that i need to stop worring about all this other girls that he will be back soon.
the sec one was me had him with a child a little girl. that was about 2 1/2 weeks ago
the third one was with la santisima but she was all red
so i bought a red la santisima figur
and the resent one was yesterday I had a dream about a little girl toddler
and looked a lot like me and him we where all happy

but he is still not by my side yet
is there any way i can make this go faster???

Suavecita · Unread post by **Suavecita** » Sun Sep 09, 2012 9:43 am

I have a question.

I had tried to work with Santisima Muerte for a long time. The reason I got her was because I was found out my husband was cheating on me and I wanted her to break up that relationship and keep him faithful. I had the red statue. It didn't work. Our relationship got worse and worse each day. I also found out his relationship with the other woman was getting stronger each day. Just a month ago I found out she is having his baby and two weeks ago he told me he is leaving me for good. We have 3 children of our own.

Since this whole ordeal started, (seven years ago) I have had candles lit up for Santisima Muerte, with offerings of tequila, flowers, cigar, incense. I don't burn a candle for her only every Tuesday, I burn it one after the other, always. There is always a candle burnning for her. Well, she didn't help me with what I wanted. Also, I have asked her for other favors such as, I need to fix my financial situation. Well, my prayers are not heard. I am broker than ever. She has granted me some small favors, true! I was grateful to her and kept promises.

There was another very important moment in my life that I asked for her assistance, really needed it, but she did not come through.

Now that my husband has told me he is leaving me for good, I feel its time to part ways with Santa Muerte, since my petitions have not been granted by her. I have a gold statue for money and red for love. I want to get rid of these but I want to part ways with her in a respectful way. I don't want her to be mad at me and punish me.

I don't know what to do to dispose of her altar and her statues without offending her. I just don't want to ask her things anymore if she is not willing to work with me.

Well Suavecite & Princess137, she isn't helping me on big stuff either, only small ones.
I realized tat 4 some reason she just isn't, so I asked her 2 help me with mine self.
I was feeling really bad & thought tat I was going into depression, but between her & Jesus am better now.
I burn her candle in 1 rm & Jesus in another, but I really thought tat she would help me with my husband.
For 4 2 5 weeks I tied everything, day & night 2 make him leave or the truth about he & his teenage son, would come out, they r lovers, yes lovers, it started as molestion, but now they r lovers. I hav been married 5 yrs. & I always felt something was wrong between them, but never tat, till his sister told me. Anyway, nothing happen, almost, but didn't.
I spent a lot of money & energy. She was my last hope & I felt she would really help me in this, but she didn't.
Finially I decided 2 work on mine self & tat has worked.
I don't kn wat is up with her, i was really surprised tat she didn't help me in tat. I made her a promise, I begged her, but nothing.
Maybe she knows god has other plans 4 our shity men!!

Well, good luck ladies!!!!!

Suavecita, sell the statues, list them on eBay, or give them away. You can send them to me, and I'll make sure they get a good home. Working with Santa Muerte is not for everyone. She will give you what you need, which is not necessarily what you want.

Mag, Cut and Clear this horrible man and be grateful for the chance to start a new life without him.

I am from India and I am thinking making Santisima Muerta as a part of my prayers and practice but I am new to this particular saint.......since I have heard she is jealous of sharing altar space which is a big problem for me as I have very limited space in my house and have only one altar and dedicating a single altar to her would be space expensive. Any ideas for altar ideas for her and various spells and rituals associated to her. I am looking for more information about her.

Most start with a white or bone-colored statue. If you don't have a statue, a picture will do. Common offerings are water, fruit, and flowers. I merged your post into the larger thread of working with Santisima Muerte, but keep in mind that spiritual practice varies from person to person, and that some base their opinions on what they were told, not on personal experience.

Hi All,

I've gone through a lot of the posts in this thread trying to find something similar to my situation, but so far, no luck (I might have missed something, apologies if I did!).

Last night, as I was working at my ancestor altar (which has a very defined circle of power around it - a strong vibration) I had a vision of Santisima Muerte. I was very scared, but She came to me and told me not to be scared, that she just wanted me to know she was always there watching out for me, to catch me if I fell - that she would be there. It was a comforting feeling, and I had the sense that she was like a Grandmother figure. I called her Grandmother Death, and asked her if she had anything to tell me (Because this experience of sudden trance-vision has *NEVER* happened to me before), and she said no, just that she had missed me. I had a sudden understanding, flashes of images back my near death experiences (I've had a couple), that she had missed me then too, and had wanted to be close to me, not to harm me, but just to visit. So I calmed somewhat, and was able to (somehow, because I was still kind of scared) have enough sense to ask if there was any thing she wanted me to pass on, anything people around me should know, and suddenly in a flash of images and sounds (a protest crowd, the sound of cars and car horns, street lights, a cross walk) I knew that a very close friend of mine was in some danger of dying by being hit by a car on his way to a protest (he's an activist). As soon as I understood that, I became aware again of myself and my surroundings, and though I tried to call back the feelings/process I had during the vision to re-ignite it, nothing would come. It seemed she had no more to tell me, so I called my friend and warned him.

My question is really for those that work with Santisima Muerte a lot - is this a typical experience with her? could I consider this being chosen by her to work with her? Or was this a moment that she needed to come into contact to help me warn my friend? I really don't know what to make of this encounter, as I have never experienced a vision-trance like this EVER in my workings, and I could really use some alternate, knowledgeable perspectives on the possible meanings of it all.

Thanks in advance!

SugarBetty: It does sound as though she wants to make herself present in your life. Take things slow and respectful and see if she willingly returns. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! It was a wonderful read for this morning.

Santa Muerte protects and assists those who are marginalized by society. I don't know what type of activism your friend is involved in, but he probably works with groups that are trying to help those whom are not able to help themselves.

@Joseph Magnuson - Thank you. That's good advice, I'll begin approaching her slowly and respectfully - I'd like to do some research before hand, and just get a clearer picture of her.

@Mama Micki - He does actually, and he himself is part of a marginalized community, so your comment makes sense. Thanks. That clarifies this encounter quite a bit.

Here is a Bible passage for your friend and all who work for the poor and vulnerable:

He shows mercy to everyone, from one generation to the next, who honors him as God. He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered those with arrogant thoughts and proud inclinations. He has pulled the powerful down from their thrones and lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty-handed. Luke 1:50-53 (CEB)

@Mama Micki - Thank you! That's lovely. I'll send it to him, and use it with a protection spell for him.

I have been hearing a lot about this santisma muerte, or holy death as she is callled...and personally I do not feel compelled to work with her at all. But I know someone who has used this spirit for love work. The result was the man was became very obsessive, and harmed himself, cutting himself across the chest 40 times when she attempted to break things off with him. He also became very obsessive,and controlling. To me it's scary, and such a spirit should not be taken lightly. Now I have worked with the IS with great success, but would not ever work with such a demanding spirit.....so my question is how would you protect yourself against such a spirit if someone is using this against you in spell work, or undo the damage caused by this spirit.

Yes, she wanted the man to make the man fall hopelessly head over heels in love with her. She wanted him to reconcile with her yes this man has well known anger issues, and is controlling. Demanding wasn't the word I really meant, I meant jealous--- but from what i'm reading so far many people have a strong belief in her, and have had success with her, so I'm somewhat a little curious..but nervous also. I would definitely have a reading before working with her.
