Santa Muerte: The History, Rituals, and Magic of Our Lady of the Holy Death

Santa Muerte (Holy Death or Saint Death) is considered to be the female personification of death. This powerful and mysterious folk saint provides blessings including safe passage to the afterlife. Hailed as a potent and powerful protector, she is also the patron saint of those who live on the fringes of society as well as those who face violence and death. In recent years, her constituency has expanded to include the LGBTQ+ community and people who are marginalized or whose jobs put them at significant risk of death, such as military and police personnel. But with death as the great equalizer, Santa Muerte potentially grants miracles to anyone and everyone. Santa Muerte is a complete ritual guide to working with this famous—and infamous!—Mexican folk saint. It takes us beyond the sensational headlines to reveal the truth about why Santa Muerte is so beloved by so many. Author Tracey Rollin presents simple, straightforward methods for working with Holy Death that can be used alone or easily incorporated into your own magical practice.
