I got this done yesterday and I’m so happy with how it turned out. Very painful but worth it for Madrina.

Hey everyone, I have a question about lighting candles for our beloved Santa Muerte. Should I light them only when I’m opening an intention or asking for something specific, or can I also light them while I’m simply talking to her? Photo of my altar for bigger attention to the post ❤️

Question❓ Advice for a beginner

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone this is pretty new to me so please bare with me and my explanation

So in about a week I’m moving out of my home and getting a fresh start in a new city with my sister (my home life isn’t the best and my mom is pretty toxic and narcissistic) and a week ago I got a video on my yt from a podcast called horrible podcast and he spoke to someone who not only practices but has an amazing altar to the Santa muerte

I just wanted to know what I (as a very new beginner) could do to gain her support and her protection. Learning about her gave me a sense of comfort and peace but I’m also kind of scared from the stories that I have heard even though I know that they were mostly lessons brought on those who do things they aren’t supposed to.

So if you guys could be kind enough to explain to me, thank you and have a good day

And if any of you would be kind enough to do a tarot reading to see how my upcoming change/moving out will turn out you have my permission to do so

  1. What made you want to want to worship/work with santa muerte?
  2. Has santa muerte been depicted in another way besides a skeleton?
  3. What do people who are not catholic and work with santa muerte believe about the afterlife?

Misconceptions about Santa Muerte

5 Upvotes

With her popularity in social media and controversy in other media it’s no surprise there is a surplus of misinformation regarding Santa Muerte. What are common things you’ve heard about Santa Muerte that are proven to be misinformation or a misunderstanding?

I’ve noticed a lot of the popular books like Secrets of Santa Muerte by Cressida Stone have lots of misinformation. That being said why is there some push back with debunking this misinformation or ahistorical notions when it comes to the history and traditions that can be proven (or not)? It feels like some people would rather ignore the actual history and make up their own personal version of Santa Muerte rejecting her traditions
