Santa Muerte Devotion 101:
Answers and Explanations for Curious Readers and New Devotees
|
By: Arnold Bustillo
After answering many of the same questions (which I don't mind at all), I decided it may be helpful to gather my most common answers in a single book. This book is for anyone who is curious about the Santa Muerte and who would like to begin building a relationship with Holy Saint Death. In an effort to make the Santa Muerte as accessible as possible, I offer a lot of advice for anyone who must devote themselves in secret or who does not have a lot of money to spend on their devotion.

Santa Muerte Prayer Magick:
Affordable Santa Muerte Magick You Can Do Anywhere
|
By: Arnold Bustillo
If you're someone who doesn't have access to ritual tools like herbs and candles, or even a space in which to practice your magick, then this book is for you. This book will teach you how to petition the Santa Muerte through the power of prayer alone, and features several prayers not published anywhere else.

Devoted to Death: Santa Muerte, The Skeleton Saint
|
By: R. Andrew Chestnut, PhD.
R. Andrew Chestnut received his PhD in Latin American history, and is a professor of religious studies. Dr. Chestnut approaches the Santa Muerte as an outsider and an academic researcher. He conducts several interviews with devotees that help dispel many common misconceptions about Holy Death. He has no affiliation with this website, but I do recommend his book.

La Santa Muerte: Unearthing the Magic & Mysticism of Death
|
By: Tomas Prower
This is a book you'll either love or hate. When I first read it, I appreciated how it uncoupled Santa Muerte devotion from its deeply Catholic history. Where the book gets a bad rap is how it merges Santa Muerte devotion with modern Pagan, sometimes Wiccan, ideology. Considering how many devotees come to Santa Muerte through Paganism or Wicca, it's at least worth a read. Prower has no affiliation with this website, but I do recommend his book.
