Throwing the Coins
Throwing the Coins of Holy Death, or casting the coins, is a method of divination that incorporates every coin. To throw the coins, the entire set of 14 coins is held in your hands, or in a small pouch, and gently mixed, while you focus on the question or issue about which you would like the coins to offer guidance. If you would like a general reading, focusing on no specific topic in particular, then you do not need to focus on any question or issue, and you can instead try to clear or calm your mind as much as possible.
When the coins are well mixed and the question or issue is in focus, or when your mind is suitably calm, then recite the following magick prayer over the coins:
“Santa Muerte, oh so wise,
Open your purse, to open my eyes.
Magick coins in my hand,
Reveal the future by where you land.”
Next, hold the coins about six inches above the surface where you will read the coins, and let them drop onto the surface naturally. Figure 1 shows what it might look like when you cast the coins.
