Santisima Muerte by ConjureMan Ali

[Tristan]

I was absolutely thrilled when I read Conjureman Ali's announcement of the publication of his most recent title - Santisima Muerte: How to Call on and Work with Holy Death. There is finally an English title that I can confidently recommend to those curious about devotion to Our Lady and an essential guide for the new devotee.

The treatise begins by examining the history and legends surrounding Santisima Muerte, respectfully showing her roots to be thoroughly Mexican and Catholic. There is enough here to satisfy the interest of the academic and promote thoughtful discussion among her devotees. Contemporary controversies are also touched on and brought into a clearer perspective.

From there an explanation of the symbols of her devotion are described and a wonderful method for setting up an altar to Santisima Muerte is given. Traditional and fundamental aspects of working with her, such as the amparo and the tributa, are explained. That section alone is easily worth the price of the book.

From there, a number of trabajos are given for diverse situations. The famous, or perhaps infamous, novena is detailed as well as an amarre or love-binding. For those of you that love to make your own oils there is a great recipe included, the ingredients for which can be purchased through the Lucky Mojo Curio Company. There is really something for everyone in this book.

Many thanks go to ConjureMan Ali for an outstanding guide to working with Santisima Muerte. This great book, which reveals his deep knowledge of and respect for Our Lady, will quickly become an important reference for the long-time devotee as well as the newcomer.

The above book may be purchased online from Lucky Mojo, under the Occult Books and Pamphlets section.

Ooooooo, that is going to be one of my first 'treats' once I'm back to full-time employment!

Oh man, what a treat that will be! Good luck with the job hunting.

Thank you all for the kind words. May it do Our Lady Death justice.

I received my copy of the booklet the day before Christmas and cannot wait to read it through. Wonderful subject matter. I am very glad to see this get published.

Good morning,

I just recently ordered this book, and I can't wait to receive it! I am hoping that the book will cover altar set up. I have a beautiful and unique Santisima Muerte statue. I have set up an altar for her on the top shelf. I've anointed the altar with peace water, filled a medium sized shell with a mixture of water and blessing oil, I took a small day of the dead style skull bottle and filled it with pink wine, and I also have chocolates and an incense burner. I was considering including photos of deceased family and a bottle of Althea root. Is this appropriate? Thanks again for putting this book out there, I was very happy to come across it when placing my order!

I've read the book and it was very good! Filled with very well researched and thought out information. I live in an area with a very large Mexican community. Thee are many botanicas near me and I've seen Santisima Muerte statues sold at the swap meet. I always look for that booth because I get my Florida Water there. While I am not a devotee, I am very grateful for this great book so I can better understand the practices of my neighbors who are. Thank you so much!
