How to Build the Strongest Relationship Possible with Santa Muerte
The power of the Santa Muerte comes from the relationship you have with her. The stronger your relationship, the more you will find that your petitions / contracts are answered and that the Santa Muerte smiles on your life. Once you choose to become a devotee, which is to acknowledge death on a regular basis, the question becomes, how do you build the strongest relationship possible with Santa Muerte?
The trick to building the strongest relationship possible with Santa Muerte is to recognize that death is always with you, and to acknowledge her presence whenever you can. You don’t have to be flamboyantly evangelical, the Santa Muerte appreciates every act of devotion which a devotee is able to provide.
When you wake in the morning, you can offer a prayer of thanks to Santa Muerte for allowing you to greet one more day:
“Santa Muerte, thank you for giving me one more day.”
When you sit down to eat a meal, you can offer a prayer of thanks to Santa Muerte for allowing you to receive the meal:
“Santa Muerte, thank you for this meal I am about to receive.”
When you go for a walk in the morning, or commute to work, you can offer an invitation for Santa Muerte to join you on your journey:
“Santa Muerte, I invite you on this journey with me.”
Before going to bed in the evening, you can offer a prayer of thanks for the day you were allowed to live, and for a blessing as you sleep:
“Santa Muerte, thank you for the day I had, and bless me as I go to sleep.”
In addition to offering prayers to Santa Muerte throughout the day, you can also keep an eye out for little offerings that you can make. When you make an offering to Santa Muerte without asking for anything in return, then no offering is too small, and it truly is the thought that counts. It could be a flower picked on your daily walk, a small chocolate from the corner market, or a stick of incense from your local new age shop. Just as you might surprise someone you love with a small gift or trinket for no reason, you can also surprise the Santa Muerte to constantly reinforce the fact that you acknowledge her and appreciate her active presence in your life.
