Ad:  Santa Muerte Bracelet In Mexico, where reverence for the Santa Muerte as we know it today was born, it's common to see people wearing any number of Santa Muerte amulets, bracelets, and other jewelry. It's also common for devotees to set up altars to the Santa Muerte in their homes. Where reverence for the Santa Muerte is high, local devotees have developed meanings for when seemingly bad things happen to their Santa Muerte items. In this article, we discuss what it means when damage occurs to a Santa Muerte amulet, charm, statue, figurine, or offering candle. A Sign of Defense Traditions vary, but my mother taught me that broken jewelry, or jewlery lost while you're wearing it, is a sign that the Santa Muerte has defended you against a curse or hex. Much like a plate of body armor will crack or break when struck by heavy impact (which is a sign that the plate worked to absorb shock from the impact), so too will your Santa Muerte jewelry break upon impact from negative energy. The same is true of statues and figurines that suffer breaks or cracks. Repair, Make New, or Trash If damage occurs to your Santa Muerte amulet, charm, statue, or figurine - and if you still have the item in your possession - you can either repair it, cannibalize it to make something new, or simply treat the item as regular trash. There is nothing disrespectful about throwing something away that bears the image of Santa Muerte. The Santa Muerte is death itself and understands wholeheartedly that all physical vessels are eventually discarded. After all, the power and blessings which Santa Muerte bestows upon us do not come from physical charms, her power and blessings come from the relationships that we hold with her in our hearts. Good Practice When you discover a break or crack in one of your pieces of Santa Muerte paraphernalia, you may find it good practice to make a special offering to Santa Muerte upon your altar to thank her for using her magick to protect you from negative influences. Breaks and Cracks in Candles The same is true of candles upon your altar. Remember that Santa Muerte is not a creation deity - she's the personification of death itself, and therefore can only kill, not create. When we petition Santa Muerte, we're not asking her to manifest our desires, we're asking her to kill the challenges and roadblocks keeping us from what we want. When a candle upon our Santa Muerte altar breaks or cracks, many devotees believe it's a sign that Santa Muerte is actively working to destroy the roadblocks standing in our way. Extinguish the candle and discard like normal. Light another candle on your Santa Muerte altar to finish the original working or offering. If the new candle burns completely without breaking or cracking, then consider the work done. Continue lighting new candles until one burns completely without breaking or cracking. Ad:Did Santa Muerte protect you from harm, and now you need to replace your favorite bracelet, charm, or altar statue? Here are some great options for you to browse:

My neck started hurting an when I looked at my necklace her legs were almost broke in half but still holding on. I put a small silver board behind her, to keep her from breaking. What should i do??? Traditions vary, but my mother taught me that broken jewelry, or jewelry lost while you're wearing it, is a sign that the Santa Muerte has defended you against a curse or hex. Much like a plate of body armor will crack or break when struck by heavy impact (which is a sign that the plate worked to absorb shock from the impact), so too will your Santa Muerte jewelry break upon impact from negative energy. If your Santa Muerte jewelry or other amulet breaks and you still have it in your possession, bury or burn it. Make a special offering to Santa Muerte upon your altar as thanks for using her magick to protect you from negative influences.

So I have a Santa Muerte reversible candle and I just got it today it has been fixed! I came out the restroom and it was off. The wick is fine not short or too much wax! What does that mean! The senora I see is not available so I can’t ask her!! @Missy Lopez - This may be a sign that more work needs to be done. The block standing in your way is especially strong, and more effort may be needed to break through it. More magick may be necessary, so another candle may be appropriate. Also consider what you can do in the physical world to help weaken the block. What effort can you make to move you closer to your goal?

I bought a Santa muerte statue and when I was cleaning it the hand broke off that was carrying her scythe. I took a closer look at it and I believe the seller had it broken before, but glued it back with super glue. I glued it back on and it's staying. Do I have to get rid of it still?

while doing a banishing spell, my Santisima Muerte candle melted and now is blurry only on face. What dose that mean? thank you Sorry for taking so long to respond. Since you were attempting a banishment, it could be a sign that you've made progress toward erasing the target of your banishment from your life. How have you felt since the spell? Any other signs? Any progress? What does your heart tell you?

Hello, I purchased a Santa Muerte black statue at a Botanica a few weeks ago. Her hands were broken but I felt like she was calling to me because I didn't feel a connection to the other statues. I was wondering if it is okay to have a broken statue or if it is bad luck or wont work? Thank you! The magick of Santa Muerte does not come from a statue - it comes from the relationship formed with the spirit of Santa Muerte, which exists beyond physical things. What you decide to work with in order to venerate Santa Muerte is up to you. Use your intuition. Do you like the statue? Does it make you feel connected to Santa Muerte? There's your answer.

Hello, My Santa Muerte got broken during a move and then when i moved I couldn't have where i was living due to my parents not wanting her in the house so can someone help me I've had her for 6-7 years i don't want to bury or burn is there anything else i can do??? There's nothing wrong with treating the piece as regular trash. Many devotees would believe that the break was a sign that she protected you from some harm during your move. There's no requirement to do anything special if a helmet gets cracked because it protected a person's head, you just count your blessings and get another helmet. Same goes for the statue. There are no requirements working with Santa Muerte for burning or burying - they are only options provided as historically symbolic gestures in the practice of magick. Your relationship with Santa Muerte won't suffer just because you can't burn or bury something. Feel free to treat the piece as trash, sprinkle with Florida Water or basil to neutralize any negative energy, and let the trash man take it away with the remnants of whatever it protected you from.

Hello, that's the thing i don't want to treat her like trash i want to keep the statues is there anything wrong with keeping the statues that are broke @Sophia - Nothing wrong with it at all. But I don't think throwing away a broken statue is treating Santa Muerte like trash. The Santa Muerte has existed for all time and will exist for all time as the energy of death. She crosses cultures and boundaries and is known in every language. She is so powerful that she will one day consume our own sun and universe. I find it hard to believe something so powerful would bat an eye at you throwing out a broken statue. Your relationship with her does not come from a statue, it comes from your existence as a human, as an entity which itself is slowly dying. But if you find power or comfort in keeping the broken statue, then feel free.

I just ran across all comments and responses. And if i may i would like to share a story ty in advance. My family and I visited Tucson, AZ (we are from Cali) in feb 2018 went to a swap meet i asked the lady do u have bracelets of la nina ? She said YES !! When we got back to Cali. I gave my friend a lucky charm bracelet I had bought her. And in the bag was the nina's bracelet I had before I bought the new one. I looked at my 19 yr old daughter and said la nina wants to stay in your car with you ! My daughter said ok i put la nina in the middle arm rest. On June 21st Ramon Ayala Mexican singer performed at the san Diego county fair. I didn't want to go. Cause I had , had a rough week n told my coworkers I'm just gonna go see Ramon have a beer n let loose !! I got home had huge headache. My friend said lets go I have extra ticket. I said no have fun !! Couple hrs later my daughter calls me c'mon mom I wanna go with u to the concert!! We both went had fun I had no beer !! But I did let loose !! On the way home from concert we got into an Accident !! I tried to avoid the incoming car and he hit us head on. the other car rolled over. We both got out of the car and I looked at my daughter and said la nina saved us!! Thank you God and my nina I said!!! On the way to the hospital the paramedics asked where u coming from and we told them our story. When the sheriff came to the hospital I asked how is the other person doing?? He said my partner arrested him he's basically, DUI/DWI. I looked at the officer and said stay safe out there. I'm a firm believer things happen for a reason. This accident was meant for us 2 somebody else maybe wouldn't of been as lucky as my daughter n me. sore, bruises, nightmares !! TY for allowing me to share may God bless you all !! TY!! My Santa Muerte!!

my santa muerte candle broke in a clean fashion from the top right. The glass cut my hand bad enough that it was bleeding. What could this mean? Different devotees may say different things. Your relationship with Santa Muerte is your own, as are your interpretations of the symbolism you relate to her practice. Some devotees might say this is a warning that while progress is being made in your petition, that you should approach with caution. Others might say it's a sign that Santa Muerte is working directly in your life in regards to the petition. It could also just mean you need to be more careful around broken glass. What were your immediate first impressions when it happened? What does your intuition tell you about cuts like this?

Hello to everyone. Flaka and I have been good friends for a few years now. As many here have mentioned Her and I have conversed many times for various resons. We talk often. Every candle given her has burned all the way down with no issues. However as a hoodoo practitioner I want offer a few tips. In my experience when the candle has a black ring on top or is dark on the way down as it burns it is signifying that spiritual and or physical offence is comming against you. If the dark part stops at any time and burns clear the rest of the way Flaka is on the case. If you see a white soot it is a very good sign that your petition has been heard and has her immediate attention. Lastly if anyone can tell me where to get a purple hand made Flaka necklace please inform me thank you.

Hello this is my second Santa Muerte candle, the first one burned clean and clear. However the second one has a high dancing flame and is already forming black soot. Any information on what this could mean? Many devotees consider high flames and soot to be signs that Santa Muerte is burning through the obstacles in your life and making progress on your request. I guess there were fewer obstacles in the way when you burned your first candle. The world is a random place that can change from day to day - I don't see this as a bad thing at all.

my question is i use to wear a santa muerte pendant i would take it off only when i showered or when i would sleep and place it on my alter ..Well not too long ago when i was done showering i forgot it in the restroom when i went back for it, it was gone. what happens when she is stolen from you? Some devotees might say that the Santa Muerte is trying to get your attention. The pendant was not ripped from your neck, you simply didn't notice it. Perhaps the Santa Muerte has been trying to show you something, but you've been missing the signs. Or perhaps the Santa Muerte wants you on your toes for what she has to show you in the near future.

What does it mean when a candle at my Flaquita's altar re lighted on it's own? I found it burning after I had blew it out. I was awed and thanked her for showing me she is present as I have been anxious for failing to see bubbles in her water. My husband is a non believer and is fearful there are evil spirits but I don't feel it this way. I blew out her candles so I can go take a shower and as always to avoid a fire hazard. I told her I was sorry and that as soon as I was out I would re light them. But when I returned to light her candles and incense, I found one candle burning. I'm new at this and have placed her altar in the living room and her candle flickers when I talk about her to my husband. I don't want money from her, I love her and want her guidance and protection. I feel my answer is pretty obvious but maybe there is something I'm missing, please help. Thank You Signs and symbols can be very personal things. If this occurrence made you feel comfortable and peaceful in your relationship with Santa Muerte, then I would tell you to listen to your heart. Practically speaking, it is not impossible for candles to re-light. I would encourage you to place something over your candle wicks to ensure they can't spontaneously light in the future - like a small saucer or non-porous thimble. Finally, there is no need to apologize to Santa Muerte for wanting to avoid a hazard. The Santa Muerte loves us all - even the cautious.

Hello, I would not consider myself to be a devotee in any fashion but I received a blessed santa muerte pendant and rosary from an ex girlfriend and I kept it on for sentimental reasons. But today while working and nothing too physical I might add. She broke at the head and scythe. Weird thing is I recently had a dream that she was broken. Any particular meaning to any of it? The Santa Muerte is death itself, and death is in all our lives, whether we acknowledge her or not. If a depiction of Santa Muerte broke or cracked, then many devotees would say that she protected you from some kind of physical or spiritual harm. There is no telling what she may have protected you from - I would count yourself as lucky and be thankful for each additional breath you've been given. The dream sounds like a premonition - they happen.

Hi! I been just wondering what this sign means and it happen twice already and just want to know what our saint is trying to tell us so the stick on our saint of death moved from her left hand to the right hand and has been pointing toward our green candle that keeps turning alittle black from the top. This is an interesting sign. The color green is associated with the law, but also with fertility. For many devotees, the black at the top of a candle is a sign that Santa Muerte is working to burn through a barrier on your behalf. Together, this may mean that Santa Muerte is calling your attention to the fact that she is making progress burning through some barrier in your life relating to the law or to fertility.

What would happen if a person no longer wishes to pray to her and breaks her statue will she hold that against him Statues have no power - the power of Santa Muerte comes from your relationship with her. All that happens when you break a statue is that you end up with a broken statue. As for whether or not Santa Muerte will hold anything against you, I don't think a force as powerful as Santa Muerte needs to be this petty. Pray to her or don't pray to her, she will come for us all in the end. Personally, I don't think the Santa Muerte holds petty grudges. If I ever turned away from Santa Muerte, knowing what I know about the power of building a relationship with her, I would not be so concerned about her coming after me, I would be more concerned with missing out on her blessings.

Hello. I am not a devotee of Santa Muerte, but my mom is. However, I am a devotee of Santa Ana and I have an altar for her. The other day I saw the image of Santa Muerte in one of my candles that was burning. What could this mean? Many devotees would say that Santa Muerte is calling to you, or wanting you to build a relationship with her. The Santa Muerte accepts us all - because we will all one day die - even devotees of other saints. Since the image of Santa Muerte is a representation of death, the image you saw could also be a sign that you are approaching a new stage of your life, as in the death of the old and the arrival of something new.

i have believed in la Nina for years now and i try to always pray for her and she always has a lit candle. But last night I had a dream where there is my altar but in my altar there is a new statue and this statue moved the head and as it moved its head i felt like i was being strangled however i did not see another person there my dream felt so real i woke up but when i woke up i didn't feel scared or attack can someone please help me find an explanation This may indicate that you are feeling stuck or restrained, that you feel unable to express yourself, and / or that you are failing to address your own wants and needs. As a devotee of Santa Muerte, and since you admit you did not feel scared or attacked by Santa Muerte, I would say that Santa Muerte is trying to get your attention. Perhaps she recognizes your loyalty and would like to encourage you to treat yourself better.
Lissandra
2/6/2020 06:18:14 pm
So I had another dream but this time there was someone strangling me and my santita candle has broken twice . Any advice on what should I do A dream of strangulation may represent that you feel stuck, restrained, or trapped. My layman advice is to treat yourself better and address the underlying cause of your anxiety. Magickally speaking, you can place under your bed an egg in a glass or bowl of water while you sleep.

I have had my niña for a few months now, and my son accidentally broke her statue. He knocked her off the shelf and everything on there. I’ve found all the pieces. What should I do? You can glue it back together or throw the pieces away. The choice is yours. Statues do not hold power. Any power the Santa Muerte offers us comes from the relationship we form with her, it does not come from a statue. A statue is just a representation of our relationship with Santa Muerte, but just because a statue is broken, it does not mean the relationship is destroyed. Just because a person loses a wedding ring, it does not mean a marriage is erased. Many would interpret the breaking of a statue as a sign that Santa Muerte blocked some negative energy from falling on your home or on your son. The statue was like a bullet proof vest that absorbed whatever negative energy was sent your way. If I was in your shoes I would make an offering of thanks to Santa Muerte and then move on.

I don't normally do this.... but this dream I had has been on my mind since it happened (considering that it's extremely rare for me to remember my dreams at all) and I may have been in a state right before waking up.... Dreams are always subjective, but you mention some interesting symbolism. First, the fact that you awoke not feeling threatened by the dream is a good sign - it shows that whatever message you are receiving is not a dangerous one, or not a message you need to fear. The fact that it was the white cloaked Santa Muerte to touch your son is also a good sign, because white is associated with harmony, and blessings. Finally, death, ultimately, represents a new beginning. Perhaps the presence of Santa Muerte in your dream, and the focus on your son, is telling you to make the best of this chance at parenthood, that this opportunity to be a parent is the beginning of something new, and a path that will be blessed. The presence of two cloaks of Santa Muerte, white and black, could be a symbol for dualism - perhaps that your family is blessed on both sides of the veil, perhaps that the power of Santa Muerte blesses you and your loved ones in the world of dreams and in the physical world, or perhaps the duality is there to highlight the relationship between parent and child. Since you left this comment about a month ago, I would be interested to know if you have had any other dreams, or any other thoughts about this dream.

Fatima Estrada

My Santa Muerte scythe broke off my necklace and one of my candles shattered and when i put a new one it turned off what does that mean? Many devotees would say that the broken scythe is a sign that Santa Muerte protected you from some kind of harm or negative energy. Just like body armor that protects a soldier from a bullet, the armor is broken when it serves its purpose. A shattered candle is often a sign that Santa Muerte is making progress on your petition - that she is breaking through the blocks which are standing in your way. The other candle that will not stay lit, however, could be considered a sign that while some progress was made, there is another block standing in your way which must be worked on. If you cannot get the second candle to stay lit, then toss it away and try burning a new candle in its place.

a bag of Santa Muerte candles where left by where my cousin had his accident and passing and his mother found the bag with his cross. what could this possibly mean?? Some devotees will leave offerings for Santa Muerte at places where the energy of death can be felt. The site of a cross, commemorating a life lost, would qualify for something like this. It is possible that whoever left the bag made a request to Santa Muerte, or wanted to give thanks to the Santa Muerte, and your cousin's memorial cross was the closest they could get to a location where death was present. I do not think there is anything to be worried about, but I apologize if the act may have offended you or his mom.

Hi I’m 2 weeks into Santisima, I been grieving over the lost of my mom for 3-4 years it’s been really hard I was lost in faith intel I forgave god for what happened , I had this friend I was really close with I still am to this day I call him my brother , we stopped talking for sometime , then we started again and coincidentally he picks me up and brings me over I come in his room , I never knew he prayed to Santisima, but when I came into the room I saw her and felt a warm feeling all around my head , then I am here now I got that feeling of love and she was calling to me in a way , some say I’m over my head but I had that strongest connection she wanted me there for a reason , I have the promises to her , I’m in a ugly situation I’m in that I had my dad neglect her and it was like he neglected me too , it didn’t bother me it did because of the things he said , I cried to Santisima because I put her in my dresser for 2 mins or so I got that feeling like this isn’t right I took her out instantly and I began to cry I cried to her , and asked her if it’s destined for us please have my friend get us and live with him , then he did and I live with him but now I know he has his life to live and I’m now place to place rn , to I take her and set up her alter I know she understands but it hurts me , cause I want a home for us , I’m still learning and I learned fully to be humble not rush it , I have a white candal I wrote a note for purity and cleanse and protection , and a green money candal to help me with money to get her stuff , and me stuff , I used lighter and it made sense she open up the kitchen cabinet and I closed it I know I ignored the fact she open it cause there was matches , it hit me to now I have them in my pocket , on my white candal there one black smudge on it like a person wise look image , I had my little nieces rosary given to me I got a urge to have all my stuff with me now my moms pendent when she passed away when and her ashes on my neck , and when I was cleaning my rosary was ok it wasn’t tangled onto my shirt and when I bent down the cross fell off only , and I began sad I wanted to cry , I told my brother bout it he said she protected me from something , I still don’t know what she protected me from but part of me is safe and I felt calm , I gave it to her with the rosary it’s around her neck , and I gave her my moms pendent as a appreciation for what she protected me from and watching over me , I had my headphones and I been listening to music not talking to her from time and it disappeared, I told my self she did that so I can know I can’t let any music or etc get in our way , i accept it , I have more on help yall know cause I’m new it don’t hurt to ask questions , please give me more advice From what you describe, it sounds like you are on the right track. Nobody can tell you how to form a relationship with Santa Muerte. Continue to pray and communicate in your own way, and you will learn more and more about what your relationship with Santa Muerte is going to look like. I express my relationship with Santa Muerte by running this blog and writing books for the Santa Muerte community. That is what my relationship looks like. Other people build altars, other people recite the rosary, other people write music for her, and other people do a little bit of everything. The Santa Muerte is the most relaxed and accepting energy I have ever found. If you are alive, then you will one day die, which means you are already accepted. Welcome to the community.

My la Santa muerte candle often fickers and “dances around” in the best way to describe it. I don’t see how it can though, I keep my alter in a closed case. What could this mean? I feel like she’s trying to get my attention maybe but I have no idea what about. Also I gifted a miniature statue to my dad for his car and it slipped out of my hand and broke, I immediately repaired it. I have a feeling this means she doesn’t want to work with him. What’s your views on that situation? Thanks!
An active flame, or a dancing flame, is usually considered a sign that Santa Muerte is burning through the obstacles in your life. I would consider this more a sign that she is active in your life, rather than trying to send you a message.

I have been working with Santísima Muerte for nearly two years. Recently I have been doing a spell and petition to her red aspect. Every time after I light the candle and do my prayer. I get a headache afterwards. Bit nauseated and pressure in my head. I have known that her red aspect her energy is heavy and strong. I have gotten speedy answers to my prayers. But I have never experienced this before with her other colors like white and black. Just curious...Any thoughts?
First of all, if there is something not right with your body, I must advise you to seek proper medical care.

So I keep lighting up a candle for protection against the law to the Santa muerte but every time I light the candle the flame is very small and it'll eventually turn off I waited months to relight it and hope my intentions are firm and it still the flame is small but othernm candle I have for her have a big flame Many devotees would interpret this as a sign that there is a heavy block in the way of what you want, or something standing in the way of the protection which you seek. I have two recommendations - continue to light candles to magickally chip away at these blocks, and take whatever precautions you can to avoid contact with law enforcement. Avoid people who make bad decisions, avoid going places you don't absolutely need to go, drive the speed limit, don't carry anything illegal or questionable in your car, et cetera. I do not want to speculate about what the block in your way might be, but you would be wise to conduct yourself in a way that gives law enforcement no reason to look in your direction - and if they happen to look in your direction, then give them no reason to make an arrest.

I feel like I’m asking too many favors from her, I asked for 5 and had quick results. Should I stop asking for so many favors?
There is no limit to what you can ask of Santa Muerte. However, if you are feeling in your heart that you have been well blessed recently and that you should take a couple weeks off from new requests, then I would advise you to trust your own intuition. Even if the Santa Muerte hears all petitions, thinking that "your luck is about to run out" could lead you to sabotage your own efforts.

I used a Virgin of Guadalupe candle to communicate with la flakita, I didn’t have my regular candles and was really in the need to talk to her. Will she find that disrespectful? The flame is very low and not moving which is not like the other ones are which are usually moving and dancing around. Did I accidentally disrespect her, and if I did how can I let her know it was a accident? The Santa Muerte accepts us all, even those of us who have nothing else to light but a Virgin of Guadalupe candle, so I do not think there is anything to worry about. Intent would also play a big role. If you did not intend for your actions to be blatantly disrespectful, then there is no reason for those actions to be interpreted as such. Also, to feel disrespected is a very human emotion, and I do not think a force as powerful as death itself would engage with such an emotion if she is even capable of feeling it at all.

Promised a tattoo for her, found someone to do it but never got to do it. They done tattoos for me before so I promised her without worrying but they always had a excuse not to. Will she get mad that I broke that promise? And if she is how can I get her forgiveness?
Check out this video I made a while back - titled "Broken Promises to Santa Muerte". It's about 10 minutes long, but addresses both of your questions. It was only created for and shared with Patreon supporters, so consider it a free sample. If you still have questions after watching, feel free to write again.

Yesterday night while watching a scary movie, my candle went bout half way though burning. That was never happened when I light a 7 day candle. Then while watching the same movie with my sister, Today, my candle cracked, I went to check on it and it burned me then the flame went out. Only after I touched it the flame went out. It was sitting on top of a picture of me and my baby niece and I’m scared to death it means she trying to warn me of something or I disrespected her if any way. I’m desperate for help, or a meaning to what’s going on with my candles. Many devotees would believe this was a sign that progress was being made toward destroying whatever barriers or dangers were surrounding you and / or your niece. Some barriers burn down quicker than others, sometimes a fire needs to be rekindled, and sometimes the fire being used to burn the barrier creates some collateral damage, like broken glass and burns. I do not think there is anything to be worried about - it sounds like progress is being made toward whatever you initially asked for.

A month ago I asked Santísima Muerte to end my marriage of 11 years (no abuse) and burned multiple candles but each time they go out or are knocked over when nobody has been near them, one of the knocked over my Black robed statue and broke the hand off, to stop that I surrounded the new candle so It wouldnt hit the statues again but then it got launched off the counter onto the floor. What does this mean? is she telling me no don't divorce?
Many devotees would interpret the breaking of the statue as a sign that Santa Muerte protected you from some harm or negative energy - whether or not this is related to your wish for a divorce, I cannot be certain. It is possible this was just a coincidence.

My friend of a few years was telling me about a dream she had, that me my boyfriend and our friend (all friends of hers) had passed away either by drowning or car accident, & that i had tried to tell her something before i died, she said she tried to get comfort in her dream from friends & family and they told her she was overreacting & to get over it, again this was in her dream… but the night of that dream her santa muerte bracelet had broke above her head (no purposeful movements) what would this mean?
There are many symbols represented here.

I lit candles for the Santa muerte as gratitude what does it mean if it turns off do I light another and how do I dispose of the candles when done?
@Mellbe - If you can re-light the candle and it stays lit, then you can let the candle burn to completion.

Hi i lit a candle up maybe around 1pm for my husband who is in prison. ( He is a big believer in her and asked me to set up an altar) and my question is if it means anything that the candle burnt out half way? Right as i was getting in bed i started to smell as if something was burning and i look over and the white candle burnt out but the red one is still going, does this mean anything? I tried to light it up again but i couldn't
There are many reasons why a candle will go out on its own. Try to re-light it, and if it stays lit, then there is nothing else you need to do.

Good morning!
There is nothing that can block you from forming a relationship with Santa Muerte. If you are alive, then you will one day die, which means that you are already accepted by Death. It is possible that the candle is burning weak, or that you feel blocked, because you are allowing your mind to give power to these women you think are using witchcraft against you. I do not think these blocks are external, but internal. I do not care how powerful their magick might be - I guarantee you it is not powerful enough to stop Death. I recommend you start acting and living as if you already have a relationship with Santa Muerte, because you already do.

What do you do if your think someone is trying to use Santa muerte to hex you Have faith that Santa Muerte will not create an imbalance. If you do not deserve to be hexed, then she will not deliver a hex. I know it is not in the nature of Santa Muerte to create an imbalance, or to deliver what is not deserved, because Santa Muerte is often depicted with the scales of justice hanging in balance, and Death is often seen as "The Great Equalizer", for the way that we are all treated the same in the end - forced to experience the embrace of Holy Death whether we want to or not, whether we think we are ready or not.

I have an altar in my house for Santa muerte . I have been praying the rosary to her nightly . The other night , the amulet fell off my rosary twice . I couldn’t work out how as they ring was closed tight when I went to put it back on and I had to use tweezers to put it back on firmly and re close the metal ring .and continued with my rosary where I had left off. I do take this as a sign that she was blocking something .
As always, I recommend you look within yourself to interpret your dreams, as our dreams generally communicate with us in the language we understand. So if you already feel a certain way about, for example, the symbolism of a bear, then this is likely the symbolism or meaning which your subconscious mind is trying to convey when it projects an image of a bear into your dream. 11/18/2021 08:56:11 pm
So my girlfriend dropped my new white candle and it cracked on top didn't break all the way through but cracked what does this mean? This could be a sign that one or both of you were protected from some kind of spiritual harm. But it could also be nothing at all. If it was a plain white candle, with no picture of Santa Muerte, and if it was before you placed it at your Santa Muerte altar, then I am inclined to think nothing about it at all.

I lit a dominance candle and the soot was white with a figure of santa muerte what does this mean? When something burns, it will usually start to burn black, before turning more and more gray / white as it burns all the way through into ash. Think of a campfire - the wood on the fire will first turn black as it chars, but will turn into a gray / white pile of ash when it's been fully consumed by the fire. If the soot on your candle was white, then this could be a sign that great progress was made, and that Santa Muerte has managed to burn all the way through whatever obstacle has been standing in your way. The appearance of Santa Muerte in the candle could further support this idea, perhaps representing that your view to what you want to achieve is no longer obstructed by the obstacle that was standing in your way. Since this was a candle for dominance, then it may be a good time to test how much control you can exert over the person or situation that was the target of your efforts.

My husband has an alter and burns candles 24/7 and places flowers weekly (due to someone telling him this was necessary) they also told him she needed to have light on her all the time. He is new to this because he was told she will keep us safe from the thing people are trying to do to our family. I was just wondering if all these things are correct. I want him to be safe and do things the correctly, as I don’t understand her or know what we need to do so I don’t interact with her or him while he prays because I don’t want to offend her. I also have a Guadalupe statue and an alter for her but in a different part of the house not close to hers, is this bad? I’m sorry I have a lot of questions.
I have heard the same regarding the flowers and the light - there are many devotees who believe this.

Question about her devotion candle flame… what does it signify when it splits… I was doing a love working and noticed her candle on her altar with split flame but the energy felt comforting it almost made a heart shape … would love your input
I have seen some different interpretations regarding a split candle flame. Personally, since you already provided your own interpretation, I don't think my input is necessary.

Why does my Santa Marta candle turn black every time my bro comes to the house and visits This is a difficult question to answer without knowing more details. In general, black soot on a candle is often considered a sign that Santa Muerte is burning through a barrier, or working to clear an obstacle, and is generally considered a good sign. If the visits are generally good, then perhaps Santa Muerte is destroying negative energy to keep your relationship open, honest, and enjoyable. But that's just a guess because, again, without more information, it's difficult to draw a more reliable conclusion.

i had a black santa muerte bracelet but it broke then i lost it does this mean something? Many devotees would consider the breaking of the bracelet to be a sign that Santa Muerte protected you from some kind of impact of negative energy. There are many reasons why the bracelet could have been lost. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Perhaps it was a sign that your time with the bracelet had come to an end. Perhaps whatever negative energy impacted the bracelet was strong enough to not only break the bracelet, but to completely push the bracelet out of your life. And perhaps the Santa Muerte just needed to use the imagery on the bracelet to introduce herself to whoever finds it next. I wouldn't think too much into it. If Santa Muerte seeks to teach us anything, it is that nothing lasts forever, and everything we have will one day be taken away. Perhaps losing the bracelet was just a small way to help teach you this important lesson.

Hello, Many devotees believe that black soot on a candle is a good sign, as it shows that Santa Muerte is burning through whatever barrier is standing in your way. When anything is burned to destruction, such as an obstacle or barrier, soot is often left behind at the site of the burning.

I felt very connected to santa muerte the first time I heard about her. I started to research about her and started praying to her. My family is Cristian so they wouldn't accept me worshiping her, but they know im spiritual so ill sometimes light cades and incense for her. i dont get the chance to offer her a lot of things and pray to her. I lack a lot so i know my connection isn't strong with her. I put my wallpaper as a picture of her so i can be able to have her around me but a few days later i had a dream saying to take my wall paper off and a few days after that my phone compleetly froze leading to have to reset it. i had a feeling that she was mad at me so i prayed back and asked for forgiveness if ive ever disrespected her in any way. i want to grow a bigger and better connection with her again but i dont know if she wants to.
Our connection to Santa Muerte is formed in our hearts. Your personal wealth has nothing to do with the strength of your connection to Santa Muerte. You are alive, and therefore you will one day die. You have been a child of Santa Muerte since the day you were born, because that was the day you started your journey toward Death's final embrace.

Hi my mom had gifted me a 7 potentials santa muerte and I carry her around my purses and she broke in half does that have any meaning or can I just fix her.. I really don’t wanna let go of her because my mom gifted it to me. The break would likely be interpreted as a sign that Santa Muerte protected you from some kind of negative energy. If you are called to fix the piece for its sentimental value, then I think you should follow your intuition. There is nothing that says you have to throw something away just because it is / was broken. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
