Introduction
This short book is a collection of petitions designed to curse and hex your enemies with the help of the Santa Muerte, a Mexican folk saint whose name in English translates to Holy Death, and who is recognized by many as the personification of death itself.
One of the reasons why I think so many people are attracted to asking Santa Muerte for help in cursing or hexing their enemies is because Santa Muerte is a force which does not judge. We are all equal under Holy Death, because we will all one day die, and while not every petition may be granted, those who ask for help are never made to feel ashamed for the things they ask. This is why the same Santa Muerte who is petitioned to bring healing, may also be petitioned to bring harm.
I want to remind my readers that the petitions I share are my own, and therefore based on my own resources and what I have access to. Not everybody will have access, for one reason or another, to candles, herbs, and other tools. The good news is that the tradition of Santa Muerte is non-dogmatic, and highly customizable. Every relationship with Santa Muerte is unique, and you are encouraged to adapt the petitions contained within these pages to your own circumstances, especially if you are unable to perform them exactly as they are written. If you are in a position where you cannot perform or adapt any of these petitions with physical tools, please check out my first book, “Santa Muerte Prayer Magick”, for a method of petitioning the Santa Muerte through prayer alone. All of the prayers contained in this book may be adapted to the method shared in “Santa Muerte Prayer Magick”, which is available on Amazon.com.
Another point I want to make is that everything in this book may be used by anyone who is in need of cursing or hexing an enemy, whether or not they identify as a devotee of Santa Muerte. A foundational principle of Santa Muerte magick is that Santa Muerte accepts us all, which is evidenced by the fact that Santa Muerte, as death itself, will one day come for us all. Since Santa Muerte accepts us all, it does not matter if you identify wholly as a devotee of Santa Muerte, as a member of another faith, or as completely faithless. There are no prerequisites to perform the petitions outlined in this book, and there is no requirement to become or even to remain a devotee after a petition has been granted. The Santa Muerte is a part of your life whether you accept it or not - all of the prerequisites and requirements necessary to petition the Santa Muerte have already been fulfilled by virtue of your own birth. The day you were born was the day you started dying, and it was on that day that you became a child of Santa Muerte.
In the tradition of Santa Muerte, the color black is commonly associated with matters of cursing and hexing, which is why we appeal to the Santa Muerte dressed in black both to send curses and hexes, as well as to protect against curses and hexes, which is why you will notice that black is the dominant color in this book. Ultimately, however, there is only one Santa Muerte, and no matter what color the Santa Muerte is shown to wear, she is one in the same. To petition one aspect of Santa Muerte, is to petition the one and only. When we use colors to appeal to the various aspects of Santa Muerte, we use them as one of many tools to help convey our specific intent. Color is one way that we convey our intent, but it is not the only way. Intent is also conveyed through the incorporation of prayer, visualization, herbs, oils, and more.
In regard to the herbal and oil correspondences that are shared here, they are derived from various sources, including tradition / legend, the physical appearance of plants, and research relating to medicinal uses of plants. Many herbs and oils have more than one use, so you may see the same herb or oil prescribed for different purposes across my writings. For example, I recommend working with almond oil to influence another person’s mind, because the almond itself looks crudely similar to a tiny human brain, but you will also find writings where I recommend almond oil for matters of money and business, because many cultures have viewed the almond as a symbol of prosperity and abundance. Since I’m on the topic of almond oil, anyone with an allergy to nuts can substitute almond oil for olive oil. Olive oil has almost universal applications in magick because it is associated with so many things, such as wisdom (a matter of the mind), abundance (a matter of money), and good relations (a matter of the heart).
As a note of safety, please remember to never leave a burning candle unattended. There is nothing wrong with extinguishing a candle when you have to walk away from it, and re-lighting it when you return.
When a petition is complete, unless you are keeping specific items for use as a magick charm, then you may dispose all items which you no longer require as responsibly as possible - spent candles can be thrown away, pieces of paper may be shredded and recycled, herbs may be thrown over the Earth, etc. If you construct a magick charm but come to a point when you no longer require its energy in your life, then you may simply disassemble the charm, and again dispose of the individual pieces as responsibly as possible.
