Santa Muerte Tips

An altar for Santa, years ago.

One - Always set La Blanca's statue furthest to the right on a white cloth. La Roja goes next, then your other colors. La Negra prefers last.

Always have a glass of fresh water for her.

Greet her when you pass her by.

Try to honor her twice daily - morning and night.

Simple offerings work. Candles of all kinds, tequila, red wine, cigarettes or cigars smoked and blown on her, Copal resin incense, anointing oil, food, flowers, chocolate. She appreciates money, handmade items, owl statues, written prayers and requests, among many things.

Don't ever attempt to lie to her.

Lose that envy.

Make prayer on your terms. If you don't like prayer (I don't) tell her. There will be arrangements made for you, so no worries.

Also, use whatever prayers you resonate with. If you like Catholic prayer, use it. Pagan prayer, use it. If you do not like prayer, that's okay. Death understands.

Try focusing on one color of Santa Muerte at a time. I suggest the traditional white, red, and black. Start with White Santa if you have illness - such as physical pain or mental illness. See her for ultimate heavenly protection. If you have self-love or relationship problems, go to the Roja Santa. If you have a typical life with the good and bad, trials, joy - but need balance and structure, see the Black Santa. Suggestions, nothing more.

Do not just go to her for trabajos (works). She's not a magical genie.

Keep in mind that her miracles vary in size. When you may want a big change, she may bring you several smaller ones you're more apt to handle.

The size of the offering doesn't matter; it is the intent.

Remember that some other beings and entities do not like Santa Muerte and vice versa. You'll feel a clash oft times. For instance, some Palo nkisi only can tolerate Santa's La Negra and Dorada aspect. True? I experienced it. Some ask if Santa is jealous of other beings. Only if she's not honored or not honored FIRST.

The more candles the better - load up her shrine with as many flames as safe and as possible! Many sizes, many types, even LED! White, black, red, pink, orange, blue, purple, green, brown, Siete Colares, òracion candles, image candles, hexing candles, velas preparadas hechizos, you freaking name it - all to her altar for light and magical purposes.

Did Santa not grant your trabajo? Likely, at some point you stopped your fervency and lust for result. Its not her. You have to have the exact same passion everyday or her power wanes. No joke. She's a saint, she is non-corporeal and only feels when we feel - so you have to engage her with human emotion. Otherwise, your prayer is just another "rando human cry" to her, that she may consider granting when she gets tired of the incessant whining. For serious. Why do you all think some ppl fear her? Think about it! No accident or misconception here. Sorry white lighters. Santa is absolutely EVIL too. Why? She's there for everyone. Not just good regular folks but ALL types of criminals - not just drug traffickers. We are talking human trafficking, murder...you name it, Santa covers it. I've read of Santa Muerte getting *human* sacrifices for protection of these gang members in Mexico and South America. Don't fucking tell me Santa Muerte is "love and light" because she isn't!!! And no, I didn't read of these things online or in newspapers like "News of the World" tabloid garbage. I've seen it in local Tucson papers years back along with some Texas papers. This is because of Santa's growing popularity, especially in Southern border states. I used to live in Tucson, many years ago. Anyway - I digress.

Santa isn't to be treated like a lovey dovey cutie pie that happens to have a flesh ripping scythe... No, no...so don't baby talk her. I know some ppl do. Yes, she's an abuela but she can knock you on your ass so watch it little niñas. 😉 Careful, she has a temper.

No matter what your prayers say, try NOT to beg Santa for help. You may feel better not begging. But don't pay attention to me if you are Catholic or that's your background since that's all you know. I found that begging placed me down too many pegs. As a magician, you are taught that you have your own Will and it is highest. Old Crowley said: "Do what thou wilt." You don't need to beg another being because a magician has their own power. You have your own power, embrace it!

I keep hearing ppl say that they want to "give in to Santa" to be rid of some illness, be it mental, physical or - they want to give up everything to get a certain love relationship, etc. I say: Pls - DON'T give up anything!!!! Why not? Because the liklihood of Santa granting your prayers is about 30% in reality. Low numbers, yes. In reality, Santa doesn't fully answer everyone's prayers. Her fervent followers just see meaning in workaday things that SEEM like her answering their prayers. When Santa does answer a prayer, she is involved somehow. A situation ends up with something directly related to her. It happens to me. For instance: I was WILLING for trabajos. I was reaching below a cupboard to get my Santa Muerte Dorada (gold) statue to put her on my Santa altar. I was touching her statue when all of a sudden, I got a message from a client who wanted to pay me to do an offering to Santa Muerte for them. I did the offering. Then - more trabajos kept flowing in. Any prayers? No. Begging? No. Was she involved? Directly, yes.

Does Santa Muerte heal the sick? If its her prerogative, yes. But when I was on my death bed with pneumonia, she refused to heal me (but she came to me in a near death experience) saying that the actual human life is trifles and she cared about the living because the actual life "force" (Qi transformed to HTDE, my hypothesis) is the most powerful energy in the universe. She said death energy and HTDE is good for death workers to use but has no particular use for her! She sees just our force, or Qi as useful then. Some emotions like love, she appreciates and gives us lovey abuela feelings back. If Roja, she will lust, but not cheaply. La Negra is very serious. Her love becomes like vines. She'll choke you, be careful. Totally serious, you will not breathe right.

Misconceptions: Santa Muerte is jealous all the time. Nope. She is in certain situations, yes. If you put an unknown deity on her altar is one. If you dishonor her rank (She's FIRST in the household, sorry to ruffle feathers here), she'll be hell on wheels. Don't think Santa Muerte has preferences? Do a skin sacrifice and dedicate yourself to her. Then you get to know the real abuela. About black magic, like hexes or curses: Whether you believe in karma or not, if the curse wasn't just in Santa Muerte's eyes, you will face her retribution. She bears the time piece (hour glass) - its only a matter of time - keep in mind - that she bears the scythe, so its only a matter of time before she reaps you. And no, I have no belief in paganism. I'm a monotheist, I'm not a believer in the Wiccan Threefold Law either.

Santa Muerte is inexorably drawn to human drama because she's so concerned with our emotions, when real. She despises "followers" with false pretense and faux emotions. Cry real tears but from a crocodile! Santa Muerte can see the difference and she will punish - usually accidents, bad luck, relationship troubles, life imbalance, financial problems, and spiritual haunting.

Santa Muerte plays favorites. She prefers the lower and working class ppl in the world. It does NOT matter if her jewelry is real gold or silver. Its hers. It doesn't matter if your home is shabby. She's there. It doesn't matter if you can't afford a statue, use a photo on your phone, a book, a magazine, whatever! Pray or intone your feelings to her. Play her songs, draw her, write for her! Dedicate your space to her. Now, Santa Muerte doesn't get jealous of her other aspects - in case anyone has wondered that. Yes, as I said above, Santa Muerte will get jealous of other beings if she's not honored first and separately on her OWN altar. Pls just do not mix Santa Muerte with other beings, Saint or not. I don't have a silly reason. She doesn't like it. The ONLY beings I had no issues with were Jesus and the Virgin Mary, and these were candles - that's it!! Don't get me started about a "pagan" version of Santa Muerte - her um...ancient avatar...lol!! 😂 Mictecacihuatl is not Santa Muerte. You can choose to honor her as a pagan goddess of death but don't equate her with dear Santa because of pure association alone. The symbolism isn't the same. Mictecacihuatl had no scythe. Santa Muerte isn't associated with serpents and had no husband. Things don't add up. Just read carefully and research. And with Santa Muerte never assume anything!!!

Salve, Santísima Muerte. ¡Mi señora de las tinieblas! Mi huesuda dama, gobernante de la muerte y vigilante de las almas!

Necromancy Oil

Here's me, about 2 years ago. My muerto (dead) is behind me in blue denim. His face with a moustache is there, you can see his arms are raised, and his hair is dark brown. Rodolfo is always with me. He's not completely bound to his vessel. I asked my sister-in-law, the atheist, to look at this photo and tell me if she sees another person behind me and I got a big "No." What do you see?

The recipe!

Mineral oil as a carrier

Human cremains or bone dust "polvo de muerto" (pinch) - absolutely cannot be animal bones

Grave dirt (actual dirt, gathered, offered, and paid for) not a substitute)

This recipe requires actual human remains and those cannot be substituted. The oil will not do its job at all without the Polvo de Muerto. No scent should be added just in case you come across muertos who don't like odors.

If you really must scent the oil, Musk, Civit, or Ambergris is acceptable to many muertos. These are mild enough. Use faux oils.

WARNING: This recipe will bring muertos to you! But it is for "divination with the dead" and other death work. Watch it!

If you think this oil is too hard to make, then you don't want to really practice with muertos. If you think you don't need these ingredients to make necromancy oil that works correctly, you haven't experienced real death energy yet and are mistaken. Try substituting and get paltry results, go ahead. You should be dizzy, see stars and wilt by feeling such power.

The Living Altar Intensive

The altar in Muerteria is known as the "living altar." Yes, it is honoring the muertos, but it is very much alive. How? The energy of the candle flames and the water which sits upon it. This altar is similar to the boveda of La Regla Ocha, but it is very different. We do not honor our ancestors at this altar. If we choose to honor our ancestors, it is at a separate altar. No, Muerteria does not place a heavy emphasis on ancestor worship. It is up to the individual to do so. Some ancestors want to be left alone and this is also honorable.

Setting up the living altar is not terribly difficult, but you need certain items. Starting out with a set of nine glasses, whether you use all of them or not is a good idea. Nine is the sacred number of the muertos. There are setups for all kinds of purposes that utilize different numbers of glasses. Candles are the other important aspect of the living altar. Why water and flames?

The water and flames feed the muertos. They give them energy to sustain themselves for the process of elevation - which is one of the most important aspects of Muerteria. We pray for our muertos elevation to Freedom (Heaven).

The way that the candles and water glasses are set up is very important because it is significant. Putting the glasses and candles in a circular formation is the most powerful. It flows the best. It is best if the candles and water glasses are set in an alternating fashion. Setting up the lights and glasses in an upward facing triangular pattern says that you have put your muertos to work (typically for clients). If the triangle is pointed downwards, it means that the muertos are staying with you. Never put the glasses and flames in a square pattern because the energy becomes blocked, and it does not flow.

One key thing is to never have more than 11 glasses and flames on the living altar. It is bulky for one. Also, it tends to jam up the energy and it just doesn't seem to want to flow correctly. I've used up to 10 and even that was a bit much. My ideal number is 8. I find that even numbers work well. For some reason, even numbers seem to have the most powerful current. But it is your choice. Just think about magnets having a north pole and a south pole. Hold them one way and they pull apart. Hold them the other way and they stick together. It is the same way with the energy of the living altar. You have to bring in the objects that pull in the muertos, not ones that push them away.

Example of a flame and water glass filled altar for magic. Just look carefully, there's a lot going on here. The glasses and flames are not in any pattern because the altar needs too many other tools. This does not affect your muerto(s).

The care of this altar can be daunting, unless you decide to keep the number of glasses and flames down and only plan for a once-a-week cleaning like typical bovedas. I do my glasses every 3-4 days. Washing glasses by hand is preferred but the dishwasher is acceptable. And tap water is okay to fill glasses with. Sometimes I use spring water.

Sealing the living altar is also important. There is a Muerteria ritual just for this. The one I use is adapted from the Yoruba people and it works excellent.

If you are just beginning, I suggest that you use two glasses of water and two candles. Use the inverted triangle. That way, muertos will stay with you.

Other tips of the trade:

Incense: Muertos tend to enjoy incense (unless they are like my parents!). I suggest pure Copal Oro, Aloeswood, or Sandalwood to begin. Japanese incense in general, especially low smoke varieties are great for muertos because they are gentle and do not offend them.

Decor: Place what you wish on the living altar but be careful of the glasses and flames. Important items like vessels should be the most imperative items on the altar. Coffee cups, alcohol glasses, oil bottles, an ashtray, and totems of your muerto come first - then a skull of any type is a good addition. Crystals, symbols, rosaries, crosses, and bibles are other common items.

Be aware of where you place your living altar. If there is too much human traffic, your muertos may not appreciate it.

If you want to see your muertos, place a regular mirror that you can stand up on the altar. You may just see them.

Get used to activity. This altar will bring muertos around.

Do NOT use salt or keep it anywhere near your living altar. It is inimical to muertos. Same for Sage of any kind.

I may add more later as I think of things. Any questions, feel free to ask!

En otro momento, no abrirás tu corazón para sepultarme en la falsedad de mil flores de plástico. Anhelarás buscarme y, al ver mis lágrimas, sabrás que nadie te sintió como yo. Pero ya estaré muerto, y escondido en tus recuerdos me sentiré eterno.

Mi amigo es un muerto. Se llamaba Jacobo. O más bien se llama, porque como dicen los cursis: uno no pierde su nombre si aún queda alguien que lo recuerde [hasta que todos los que lo recuerdan se mueren y entonces pues ya nadie tiene nombre]. Pero, me estoy desviando del tema. Conocí a Jacobo en tercero de primaria y un día dejamos de verlo y otro día la maestra Lupita dijo en la asamblea: a Jacobo le dio leucemia y se murió. Nos quedamos sorprendidos y una que otra maestra se echó a llorar.

Tres horas más tarde ya jugábamos en el recreo.

Por qué te moriste, Jacobo, le digo a mi amigo. Pero él no me responde. Y no es que no me conteste porque ya esté muerto. No, los muertos sí contestan, aunque -por lo general- sólo hablan puras incoherencias. Pero, otra vez, ya me fui por otro lado. Quizás mi amigo Jacobo no me contesta porque en realidad ni éramos amigos y, cuando se murió, él estaba en quinto y nunca me dirigió la palabra. Pinche, Jacobo, por qué te moriste si eras mi amigo. Y es que así somos las personas y qué se le va a hacer si nos gusta hablar de nosotros mismos y de lo mucho que nos duele que se haya muerto Jacobo. Y sí: por qué te moriste, Jacobo, por qué te moriste.

Something I love about studying Graphic Design and Visual Arts is that I can make fan art for the assignments, and it's completely valid.

So yeah, Death because I had to make a contrast composition using Warm and Cool colours.
