 Primary Use: To formalize a contract with the Santa Muerte. One of the ways you can ask the Santa Muerte for help is to make a contract with her - a promise that would come due upon the granting of a miracle. Contracts can be made privately in your own heart, but if you would like something tangible to represent your promise to the Santa Muerte, or perhaps to place on your altar to remind you of your promise, then this is for you.
Requests for Miracles
So what kinds of things can you ask for with this contract? Anything you can articulate, really. Small to large, the trick is to be direct and clear. Asking for specific solutions, rather than general help, is also advised. The more specific you make your offer, the more certain you can be about when your offer comes due. In other words, if your contract is just for "money", then it wouldn't be clear if you were asking for $1 or $1,000. On the other hand, if you asked for something like, "that I may get 10 hours of overtime at work" or "the strength to cut my smoking habit in half for 30 days" or "that I get the job with XYZ Corporation", then there's a clear point at which your promise would come due - a concrete point in time after which certain conditions have been met. Paying Your Due So what kinds of things can you offer as promises on this contract? Only offer what you know you can deliver. It should be something of value or effort, but value and effort are very subjective. Value and effort mean different things to different people. Offer an effort that is valuable to you. If you feel guilty about your promise, or like you know that you're not being honest about how much you can offer, then you should consider offering more. But only you can determine what a suitable promise is for what you're asking. Your ability to follow through as well as the magnitude of what you're asking for should guide what you decide to promise. Examples of things you might promise in return for a miracle would be things like, "I promise to recite the Santa Muerte rosary every day for 100 days" or "I promise to donate $1,000 to a Santa Muerte altar" or "I promise to offer one 7-day candle every week for 10 weeks at a Santa Muerte altar", etc. Again, these are just examples. Creating Your Contract To use this contract, print it out or recreate it on a piece of paper by hand. Whether using the above prepared contract or creating one of your own, you may further focus your magickal intent by using a pen / Sharpie color corresponding to what you're asking - gold for money, red for love, etc. See a list of Santa Muerte magick color correspondences in my post titled: Santa Muerte Cloak Color Magick. At your Santa Muerte altar, fill in the contract with your request and what you're willing to offer if the Santa Muerte delivers. There is a short prayer just above your signature line, which reads: "Santa Muerte, Holy Saint Death, look favorably upon this request. A promise made by ink and pen, for a miracle granted by your hand." Recite this prayer, then sign and date your contract. You may continue to recite the above prayer over your contract, at your Santa Muerte altar, as you visualize your miracle being granted and visualize yourself fulfilling your end of the bargain. This will further focus your magickal intent. You may then leave the contract on a Santa Muerte altar or in another safe place - somewhere where you can regularly see it would be great. Terms Your promise comes due if the Santa Muerte grants your request. You may back out of the contract at any time before the request has been granted by simply destroying the contract. You alone are responsible for the consequences of a broken promise with the Santa Muerte, so don't offer what you can't deliver.

My question is, once the contract has been written and Santa Muerte has not granted said request, how exactly would I dispose of the contract? Just throw it away as usual or would burning it be more adequate? This type of contract is known as a unilateral contract - it only goes into effect when the other party, in this case the Santa Muerte, performs by granting your request. No granting of the request, then there is no contract. Destroy the paper as you see fit to show your intent that you are revoking your offer. Under American contract law (very basically), if an offer to enter into a unilateral contract is revoked prior to performance by the other party, then there is no contract - the offer dies and there is no duty for either party to perform. If you happen to get what you wanted AFTER you destroy the paper / revoke your offer, consider it a freebie - you're under no obligation to return the favor because you displayed your intent not to be bound by the contract.

Any tips on how to decide between doing a spell or a contract? Or should I do a spell & include the contract? For example: if I am requesting a certain amount of money to start my business... Would I do a money spell with a contract includef? Or just the contract & prayer? It's a personal choice - there's more than one way to skin a cat. Go with your experience and intuition. Personally, I would do one or the other - probably start with some simply money spells and, if I'm seeing no progress, maybe kick things up a notch with the contract. Again, that's just me.

Hello. I am trying to conceive a child, and would like to petition and/or enter into contact with the Santa Muerte to be granted this miracle. I know she isn't a creation deity, but I feel a connection with her. I have no idea what to offer though... I mean, asking for a baby is a huge request, I would think, so I definitely want to offer something worthy. Do you have any suggestions or ideas on offerings? I was considering offering myself as a devotee, promising to raise the child to know the Santa Muerte, and reciting her rosary and completing three devotional acts every Sunday, but I'm not sure if it's enough. I feel like maybe I'm asking for too much, but I also have trouble asking people for anything in general. Thoughts? Thank you for getting in touch. The worthiness of an offering is subjective, only you can determine what is enough for you to offer. If you're telling yourself that what you're offering is not enough, then you should listen to what your intuition is telling you, and put more thought into it.

Im wanting to sign this contract to provide money i owe family. What is the best way to do it? I need her help to provide the money and protection from all the dangerous activitys happening near me. You can make the contract for the specific amount of money that you require, but what you offer in return is up to you. The value of money is very subjective. How much is the money worth to you? When you think of a promise in return, does it seem like enough? Or do you get the feeling you should offer more? Does it seem like a fair trade? Nobody else can tell you how much you should value a gift from Santa Muerte - that's something you will have to meditate on for yourself.

I haven’t been practicing or talking with Santa Muerte for very long I noticed in the beginning she was giving me what I was asking for with a certain individual and now it’s been about eight months later she has not been helping me in that situation is there such a thing as a request being asked for too much so it doesn’t get granted No - the Santa Muerte does not shame us or punish us for asking for what we want. This is one reason why she is so popular, because she will hear all petitions. One foundation, however, of Santa Muerte devotion, is that nothing lasts forever, which is why we must cherish every bit of everything good that we are granted. Also remember that devotion to "Santa Muerte" is a devotion to a "Good Death" - so if providing something would pull you away from your best possible death (or, in other words, your best possible life), then it is not a surprise why some petitions would go unanswered. This being said, there is nothing wrong with continuing to ask. Consistently focusing on what you want through petitions and prayers not only conveys your intent to Santa Muerte, but also to yourself, so you may consistently remind yourself to make decisions that get you closer to what you want, rather than farther away. Plus, you never know when circumstances might change and Santa Muerte would be willing to grant favors again.

What if i don't have an altar? Is there a way i could do this contract? Any image of Santa Muerte can serve as the foundation of an altar. You can print out a picture of Santa Muerte from the internet, you can display a picture of Santa Muerte on your cell phone, or you can draw a simple skull on a piece of paper. If none of these are options, you can visualize the Santa Muerte, or a simple skull, in your mind's eye. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
