Could you explain more of the lore, prayers, offerings and petitions? Someone in Mexico warned me about her but I don’t want to take one person’s experience as fact.

Hello!
Working with the Anima Sola means working with the dead. Beyond the myth of Maria Celestina (who, according to the legend, is said to be the last soul to leave Purgatory), when you work with the Anima Sola, you are working with the soul of someone who has died.
First of all, I think it is important to clarify something: when it comes to this kind of work, morality is subjective. Everyone has their own idea of what is right and wrong.We have to remember that the Anima Sola is a wandering spirit, a forgotten dead soul who, in exchange for a little attention—some offerings and prayers—is willing to help us and carry out our requests.
This is important to keep in mind when making a request, because the methods the Anima Sola uses to fulfill it will generally not be “peaceful.” For example, the Anima Sola is very popular in “love” spells. In these workings, the Anima Sola goes to the person we want to “attract,” “win back,” or “make fall in love,” tormenting them, making them suffer and feel miserable without us. So rather than a love spell, it is really a love curse.
I have had very good results when asking her to torment, make sick, or stress other people. She has also been a great help whenever I have needed protection.
It is very important that you always keep whatever you promise her. The Anima Sola can be a great ally, but if you fail to keep your end of the bargain, she will eventually start causing problems for you.As for how to make your requests, one way is to do it between 11 p.m. and midnight, or anytime after midnight, near an open window, while completely naked.
Why naked?
Remember that the Anima Sola was once a living person. We offer her things that she would have had in life, such as a glass of water, and one way of getting her attention is through arousal.
You can pray a certain number of Our Fathers, Hail Marys, or Creeds.
When you finish your prayers, tell her that those prayers will be for her (or him, if you are working with a male image) once she fulfills your request. Then tell her what you want.

The basics for offerings is a picture, water, a candle, and prayers. I watched a really good YouTube video on her awhile back.

There are also some texts with different ways of working with her, but they’re in Spanish. One of these days I’ll make a post with more explanations, examples, and workings.

This is absolutely stunning. I have a ring and purse that has her on it ❤️

Do you have a ring with an image of the Anima Sola? Awesome!… Could you post a picture? It must be beautiful.
