Mary, Mother of all, She gives life.

Holy Death, Mother of All, She takes life.

Its a cycle. The Ouroboros biting its tail. Eating itself. These Gods * represent the order of the world. I love them, so.

She shines even more in the dark. 🕯️💀🕯️

Ella brilla aun mas en la oscuridad. 🕯️💀🕯️

Prayer for La Blanca

Santa Muerte, La Blanca,

Most Holy Death of the White Robe, eldest of the Three, you who sit at the right hand of God, hear our prayers.

You who grant the peaceful death of old age and heal the sick, through the great power, which God has given you, we ask you to remove all sickness from our lives.

Niña Blanca, with your holy scales, bring balance to our bodies, minds, and souls and protect us from all illness.

Santa Muerte La Blanca, Holiest of Archangels, cover us with your pure robe, we pray.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I am still here my friends, and I pray that you all are too. Be well out there. This world is chaotic.

May she always, always be with us all.

If you involved in El Culto a la Santa Muerte in any sort of way, chances are that you may have seen this "sigil" online and being sold on places like etsy

It is fake and cultural appropriation. Do not use

The "sigil" you see here is supposed to be a veve, a religious symbol used in Haitian Vodou to represent a specific Lwa (at least according to Wikipedia). Santa Muerte is not a Lwa; she is a Mexican Catholic folk saint. She does not have veve

Now while there is a theory that an ATR may have influenced the creation of El Culto a la Santa Muerte, the ATR is question is Santería, not Haitian Vodou. To my knowledge, Santería does not use veves

Further digging into the origins of this fake veve revealed that it was allegedly made up in 2012 by someone attempting to demonize both El Culto and Haitian Vodou

Unfortunately, as El Culto grows in popularity and more and more people ignore pleas and warnings from traditional Mexican Muerteros to not separate Santa Muerte from Mexican culture and Catholicism, this sort of thing will occur more often

It is important that followers and allies, particularly white followers and allies, do their research and prevent this sort of thing from spreading. If you are not Mexican, this includes doing research on Mexican culture and Brujería. This is not permission to appropriate Mexican culture or Brujería. If you are not Catholic, research on Catholicism. I would also recommend doing research on Aztec and Maya Mythology, Santería, and El Culto al San Pascualito Rey as these are all believed to have directly influenced El Culto a la Santa Muerte. Once again, this not permission to appropriate closed practices

Also important is to listen to traditional Mexican Muerteros. Traditional Mexican Muerteros have stated countless times that El Culto a la Santa Muerte cannot be divorced from Mexican culture or Catholicism and should not be combined with other religions (And please do not try to use Indigenous Mexicans syncretizing the veneration of Santa Muerte with the worship of Mictecacihuatl or other Indigenous Mexican goddesses as a counter example. That is not the same thing).

tl;dr: This "veve" is culturally appropriative bullshit and should not be used by followers or devotees of la Santa Muerte

My last Dia de Los Muertos in the USA!

The Mexican restaurant I've been ordering my food from (since I'm far away from home), also surprised us with a bag that said "Feliz Dia de Muertos!" full of candy and toys that were especially nostalgic to my parents and grandparents so they knew that was gonna go on the ofrenda! I'm just a little emotional about it being my last day of the dead here! I'm gonna miss it!

If you have eyes, don't let them see me

If you have hands, don't grab me

If you have feet, do not reach me

Don't let them surprise me in the back

Don't let my death be violent

Do not allow my blood to be shed. 🖤

22nd of January

Helloo, i'm still alive, I was just really not in the mood to post recently. Here are some pictures from today and last week.

The exam period is over, and my next semester starts tomorrow. I feel like I'm at a changing point in my life. Actually, my boyfriend breaking up with me might have been good for both of us in the end? Idk, I'm still confused, and we also still talk a lot. But yeah, so I realised that I experience chronic stress that is pretty much independent of what is happening in my life and probably a leftover symptom of my PTSD. So I sign up for the gym (even though I haven't gone very much yet, but i'm working on it), and I'll go back to therapy. My first appointment is this week. I also bought a Bible..? Like for private use, not because of my religious studies degree. I didn't see this coming haha. I don't know yet where this is gonna lead, but I just really wanna read it and I have been ignoring the urge to explore Christianity, cause I kind of don't want to be interested in it. But finally I accepted that I actually am interested and started reading it on Friday. It has been great so far!

It's a bible for Gen Z teenagers or something. It gives you video links for further explanations about some chapters and lots of questions to think about for people who have never read the bible. It's a bit tooo modern for me, but oh well.

I don't know yet how this will fit into my spiritual path or if I'll be going into a different direction altogether. I haven't really been practising witchcraft for a while, cause my rational mind just tells me it doesn't work it's not like my experiences really show that it does either, at least not recently. I have been leaning more towards prayer and trying to trust that things will go the way they are meant to. I feel like me reading the bible was kind of inevitable in a way cause I have been praying to La Santa Muerte on and off for years. I pray the rosary for her and I've been interested in the Sacred Heart of Jesus for some years as well. I feel like strict Christians aren't gonna like it haha, cause La Santa Muerte is demonic to them, but I feel like in a way it's her who is pushing me into this direction. So I'm excited to see how this continues :)

Happy new year to you all. May our Lady, our Mother La Santisima Muerte be with us throughout this year. May she nurture us as she did and has always done. May she protect us. May she keep us safe and keep us prosperous. May she keep all weapons formed against us far, far away.

She gazes on us with a smile, because we haave made it another year with her. And to all of those that she took in the past year, they smile down upon us from right by her side.

Take care everyone. Stay safe.
