 In Santa Muerte magick, a rosary is a set of prayers used as a form of devotion or offering to the Santa Muerte. Because of the number of prayers involved, devotees will often use a rosary necklace to keep track of their place throughout the recitation of the rosary.
If using a necklace, simply start at the medallion and move up the necklace one bead at time, reciting the appropriate prayer or set of prayers that correspond to each point on the rosary. Go up one side of the necklace and down the other until all beads have been covered. The last point on the rosary necklace, the place that marks the recitation of the last prayer at the bottom of this page (the Santa Muerte rosary "Closing Prayer") is the three way connector - the point on the rosary where the three ends of the rosary connect. The three way connector may or may not be marked by a bead, but if it is, then it is skipped at the beginning of the rosary and only counted at the very end of the rosary. To begin, hold the medallion or amulet depicting the image of the Santa Muerte in your hands and pray the following Santa Muerte Rosary "Opening Prayer": Santa Muerte, Holy Death, I offer these prayers for you. From the altar in my heart, to your ears, may you find the words sweet, and their meanings true. Santa Muerte, Holy Death, I offer these prayers for you. On the first bead, pray one "Our Santa Muerte": Our Santa Muerte who will come for us all, kind and gentle be your kiss. When you come to end my life, may I be free of any regrets. Thank you for this day, one more beautiful day, so I may have it to live, love, and laugh my own way, amen. On beads 2-4, pray one "Glory Be Holy Death", each: Glory be Holy Death, blessed death, peaceful death. As you have been with me from the beginning, so are you with me now, and so will you be with me always, amen. On bead 5, pray the First Mystery of Santa Muerte: Holy Death holds in her hand A magick scythe she commands When at us her scythe does swing, swift to us, our death she brings. Our Santa Muerte who will come for us all, kind and gentle be your kiss. When you come to end my life, may I be free of any regrets. Thank you for this day, one more beautiful day, so I may have it to live, love, and laugh my own way, amen. Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten. Blessed by you are the abused and downtrodden. Hail the Santisima, who holds power over all, bless us with your love now and at the moment of our deaths, amen. Glory be Holy Death, blessed death, peaceful death. As you have been with me from the beginning, so are you with me now, and so will you be with me always, amen. On bead 6 - 15, pray one "Hail the Santisima" each: Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten. Blessed by you are the abused and downtrodden. Hail the Santisima, who holds power over all, bless us with your love now and at the moment of our deaths, amen. On bead 16, pray the Second Mystery: On the back of Death is placed, hooded cloak of magick great. With this power Death protects, Each of us from birth to death. Our Santa Muerte who will come for us all, kind and gentle be your kiss. When you come to end my life, may I be free of any regrets. Thank you for this day, one more beautiful day, so I may have it to live, love, and laugh my own way, amen. Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten. Blessed by you are the abused and downtrodden. Hail the Santisima, who holds power over all, bless us with your love now and at the moment of our deaths, amen. Glory be Holy Death, blessed death, peaceful death. As you have been with me from the beginning, so are you with me now, and so will you be with me always, amen. On bead 17 - 26, pray one "Hail the Santisima" each: Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten. Blessed by you are the abused and downtrodden. Hail the Santisima, who holds power over all, bless us with your love now and at the moment of our deaths, amen. On bead 27, pray the Third Mystery: Balanced in Death's hand of bone, Scales of Justice, to all shown. Special treatment, none receive, From this Earth, we all must leave. Our Santa Muerte who will come for us all, kind and gentle be your kiss. When you come to end my life, may I be free of any regrets. Thank you for this day, one more beautiful day, so I may have it to live, love, and laugh my own way, amen. Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten. Blessed by you are the abused and downtrodden. Hail the Santisima, who holds power over all, bless us with your love now and at the moment of our deaths, amen. Glory be Holy Death, blessed death, peaceful death. As you have been with me from the beginning, so are you with me now, and so will you be with me always, amen. On bead 28 - 37, pray one "Hail the Santisima" each: Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten. Blessed by you are the abused and downtrodden. Hail the Santisima, who holds power over all, bless us with your love now and at the moment of our deaths, amen. On bead 38, pray the Fourth Mystery: Santa Muerte walks the Earth, Those who love her, she will serve. Fear not Death, be unafraid, Death is with us, everyday. Our Santa Muerte who will come for us all, kind and gentle be your kiss. When you come to end my life, may I be free of any regrets. Thank you for this day, one more beautiful day, so I may have it to live, love, and laugh my own way, amen. Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten.

Glory be Holy Death, blessed death, peaceful death. As you have been with me from the beginning, so are you with me now, and so will you be with me always, amen. On bead 39 - 48, pray one Hail the Santisima each: Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten. Blessed by you are the abused and downtrodden. Hail the Santisima, who holds power over all, bless us with your love now and at the moment of our deaths, amen. On bead 49, pray the Fifth Mystery: Land of living, land of dead, At the bridge between stands Death. When the flame of life is lost, Santa Muerte helps us cross. Our Santa Muerte who will come for us all, kind and gentle be your kiss. When you come to end my life, may I be free of any regrets. Thank you for this day, one more beautiful day, so I may have it to live, love, and laugh my own way, amen. Hail the Santisima, full of love and grace. Blessed by you are the forsaken and forgotten.

Beautiful Rosary prayer! i was wondering if i could use parts of this as a smaller prayer to the santisima muerte. I think it should be okay i just dont want to be disrespectful to her in any way Use whatever you need. If it helps you build a closer relationship with the Santa Muerte, then I'm glad I could be of help. A rosary, after all, is not one giant prayer, it's a collection of small prayers put together. Look at the Catholic rosary. The Our Father prayer is a part of the Catholic rosary, but many devout Catholics recite the Our Father daily without reciting the rest of the Catholic rosary. This is considered normal to many people and not considered disrespectful at all. Besides, I would imagine that a force as powerful and immortal as death itself would be offended by any honest devotional effort made from a place of love.

I just made my rosary for the first time tonight. I felt like I needed something to bring me joy after my mother's death last year. She was a Pagan and bought me this Rosary a few years ago when she started praying to Santa Muerte herself. I'm not looking for anything from Santa Muerte, just something to help bring me comfort and joy at this time. Thank you for providing information to get me started on my Journey.

I love this Rosary! It brings me much comfort when I recite it! I'm learning to pray. I'm a Witch, not Wiccan who was called by Santisima Muerte last year. I like this Rossary better than others I've read. I think it makes Her happy. We truly connect. Thank you!

This rosary brought me such a sense of peace as I did it just now (actually teared up) Santa Muerte found me several months ago. I am pagan and very much a outsider, but reciting this gave me a feel of acceptance. :)

Hi!!! Thanks for your kind words! The rosary is just something that helps us keep our place when reciting all those prayers. the power of Santa Muerte does not come from the rosary, but from your relationship with her. If you want to use the beads to keep your place while reciting another set of prayers, and if you feel comfortable sharing rosaries, then I don't see how this might cause a problem.

I am just starting a relationship with Mí Niña. I don't have a rosary yet. Am I still able to pray without one u til I purchase one? 9/5/2019 01:00:47 am
Thank you and Blessings! Your words rang true. I did buy a Santa Muerte Rosary however since it is just to keep our place in prayer, I have placed it on Her altar and She seems to want to keep it there. I have learned this version of the rosary and I prefer it! It is SO personal. I have even used just one of these prayers in times when I MOST need Her help at the very moment and She has shown me favor in the situation. It truly IS the power of the relationship of the heart. Thank you AGAIN.

I am new with working with santa muerte and I love this roserys prayer made the energy in the room feel at ease as I should say thank you so much and I love you videos my brother got me into working with holy death to help me learn and lead a better life @Regina - I'm glad this rosary has brought comfort and power to your relationship with Santa Muerte. As for your question about protection amulets, I think magick and spirituality are deeply personal things - if you find power in the tetragrammaton or other protection amulets like it, then you should feel free to incorporate them into your spiritual practice. The Santa Muerte will accept you either way.

I'm new praying to la santa I want to please her and keep on pleasing her I want to learn and learn everything please guide me I don't want to diss please her Santa Muerte is death itself. She has existed from the beginning and will persist eternal. Personally, I don't think a force as powerful as Santa Muerte needs to be petty, so I would not worry too much about dissing her. Nobody can tell you how to have a relationship with Santa Muerte, just like nobody can tell you how to have a relationship with your mamma. Build your relationship with Santa Muerte from your own heart and you will be just fine.

Thank you. I am new to Santa Muerte. But, I just recited this Rosary of Santa Muerte. It brought me such comfort,I am actually crying. I have really needed this! 5/20/2020 02:35:58 pm
Do you feel that it would be useful for someone to write their own rosary prayer as an act of devotion? Also would you mind if this is shared publically? I wrote this rosary as an act of devotion, so of course! To me, writing prayers for the Santa Muerte is like writing poetry for the love of my life. We're not Catholics, we don't have to all use the same rosary if we don't want to. If you share this publicly, I kindly request you link back to this site. Thank you!

What happens if I have one but my brother messes with it I don't think anything would happen. The Santa Muerte loses no power just because someone messes with a rosary. The rosary is a tool for building your relationship with Santa Muerte, it is not the source of your relationship. Maybe just ask your brother to have more respect for your things.

Veronica Overland

What type of beads do I begin with where would I purchase them Actually, the beads don't matter! They are not a source of power, just a tool to help you keep track of your place in the rosary. Any common beads will work, and some rosaries don't even use beads, just knots in a piece of cord. You can do a Google search for "how to make a rosary" for instructions on how to make a variety of different rosaries. Most instructions will include a list of tools you need, which you can then find on Amazon, or at a craft store like Michaels

I have an altar for the Virgin Mary and archangel Michael by her side. I pray the catholic rosary. I recently had a reading and the Santa Muerte has a message for me. I feel like I should get to know her. Would it be disrespectful to have both An altar for the virgin Mary and one for her in the same room? Also what kind of offerings does she like. And last question can I use a catholic rosary to pray to her?
I do not think it would be disrespectful to have an altar to both in the same room. Remember that Santa Muerte accepts us all, which means she would also accept someone who comes to her through Catholicism, including those who keep altars to the Virgin Mary. Personally, I do not think an energy as powerful as Santa Muerte needs to engage in petty human behavior like jealousy. The fact is she has already won, because you move closer to her with each and every breath that you take. The Santa Muerte loses absolutely nothing when you allow her altar to share space with another altar.

I know it’s bad practice to wear a rosary around the neck but do you think that applies with a Santa Muerte rosary? I’d like to keep her with me and I really want to wear one of mine because I just feel like I should, but also would like to be careful not to offend! I personally do not think it is bad practice to wear a rosary. A rosary, after all, is not the source of magick power, rather it is a symbol for our devotion - just like a wedding ring is a symbol for a marriage, not the source of love within a marriage. Whether or not you wear a rosary, whether or not a rosary is destroyed, it does not take anything away from the power of Santa Muerte, nor does it take anything away from the relationship you have with Santa Muerte. Remember that every relationship with Santa Muerte is unique, so if you feel pulled to wear your rosary, then I encourage you to wear it without worry. Walking around in downtown Tijuana, Mexico, I can tell you I have seen several people wearing Santa Muerte rosaries, necklaces, and pendants, so you would not be alone. 11/10/2020 03:10:58 pm
If I want to buy a Santa muerte pendant do I need to attach beads or can I use a regular chain, and is there a way to bless it when you first get it, i just wanna make sure I'm doing it right and do not disrespect her in any way, if any one can shoot me pointers would appreciate it The beads on a rosary are a tool to keep track of your place while reciting the rosary prayer. Beads are not required to place a pendant on a chain or cord. I have a consecration petition you can perform if you would like to dedicate your pendant as a magick tool in the name of Santa Muerte: https://www.santamuertemagick.com/blog/consecration-santa-muerte-magick 1/31/2021 04:18:15 am
I have a question, when I first got into having a relationship with Mi Santa I had made her an altar especially for her. It held a glass of water a small Santa Muerte gold pendant and a top of a far that contained some stones,chocolate n lottery ticket wich was signed by myself and also lots of change older/newer ones.Well couple of weeks after that I was arrested and my family was evicted unfortunately but I still never lost my faith in Mi Santa but I feel she's upset with me cause once I got out I had asked where my belongings were placed and I could not get a straight answer I believe that either they left it,damaged or destroyed it maybe even through it away.is there a way to make it up to her even though I was not the one who got rid of it? The power you receive from Santa Muerte does not come from any physical item, but from your relationship with her. You do not need anything special to pray to the Santa Muerte, and to make her a pert of your life. There is nothing you need to make up for, because Santa Muerte, as death itself, lost literally nothing when your personal property was damaged / destroyed. She is just as strong as ever, and just as powerful as ever. If you want to show Santa Muerte that you are still devoted, then begin by reciting a simple prayer to tell her as much.

Hi, I’m new here and I want to know more about Santa Muerte. I feel like there is a connection with me and her but I just don’t know where to start. No one in my family is a devotee of her so finding a starting place is difficult. Do you need to have an altar for her in order to communicate? Or is it just all what comes from your heart and your energy? Also love your prayers! You do not need an altar to communicate with Santa Muerte. Simple prayer spoken from your heart is all you need. Remember that Santa Muerte has been with you since the day you were born, because that was the day that you started the process of dying. For this reason, it might be better to say not that you are starting a relationship, but that you are now ready to acknowledge a relationship which has always existed.

I came upon this website strictly thru the rabbit hole. I absolutely love the rosary by Chuck K. How can I go about purchasing one for myself to assist me through my journey.
Unfortunately, Chuck's Instagram account (@CommunionOfSai) has not been active for over a year, and his related Etsy page is no longer actively selling. All I can think of is to try sending him a direct message on Instagram.

Hi Arnold, Where can I find the 5 Mysteries of Santa Muerte that you originally had posted in the rosary? They meant the world to me and I really miss them when I say this wonderful rosary for The Bony Lady.

I am currently awaiting for my Santisima rosary. My only question is when is the day to start the dedication novena for the rosary In the tradition of Santa Muerte, there is no need to wait for a specific day to dedicate a rosary. Santa Muerte, as death itself, does not take days off, and Death is active in the world all day, everyday, all year long. If there is a day that is special to you, or a day that is special in your personal spiritual practice, then you can perform a rosary dedication on that day, if you wish. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
