Storing away my altar

I’m currently getting ready to have a baby and still living with my parents therefore I won’t have a nursery and need space for a lot of baby items. I’m packing away all my collectables and trinkets but the biggest spot in my room is Santa muertes altar I feel horrible needing to store away her altar but I have to make space for the baby’s bassinet in that area. I talked to her and let her know everything that’s going on and how I appreciate her so much and how this is temporary and when I get my own house she’ll be up again. I have no where to put her other than storage because my father doesn’t support my Santa muerte devotion he grew up very catholic. Is it okay that I’m doing this..? I’m also working on my room a lot sanding down the walls and painting and redoing pretty much everything I don’t want her to break or get dirty :(

Advice?

Hii, I am sorta new to this I'd say i am a pretty spiritual person coming from a strong bloodline of seeing the unknown, about 2 and half months ago I began getting a lot of Santa muerte content on my feed and I felt incredibly drawn to her and her beauty not to mention the things stands for but having recently left Catholicism (my grandma who's a very religious woman raised me early childhood and always pushed me into it even till now) I came to the realization now that I am spiritual but not religious (only my mother and father know) which I adore bc there is absolutely something out there, Gods, deities, mother nature, the universe (I'd love to know them ALL) but I refuse to fit into a box yk? But even so I find myself questioning whether this is me or just another way for me to cope with religious guilt??? I am not sure if that's the right word but I do know that Mami is real and she's very true ☹️, I came to La santa muerte about 2 and a half months ago as a visitor talking with her and making a petition about a situation I had/have going on and i know Mami works on her own timeline and she can see how things we'll play out she's always loved and comforted me during our time together and even so now. I'd love to devote myself to her when I am free too (I live with my grandma and family as we take care of her) and with my situation I gave her promised reward as I didn't wanna go over the petition date I thanked her for everything she gave me as she was my biggest comfort in it all but even now I feel she is still here watching over me bc I know my petition was answered it's js working on its timeline that it's meant to be on but I can't help but feel antsy sometimes? Like things work in a interesting way and they come close to what I asked for but then it goes dies down ? like a wave in a way it almost hits the goal but doesn't exactly yet? So what does this all mean (i am currently trying to get into witchcraft as well, Tarot too because it interests me very much but I am taking it slow as I don't wanna do anything crazy. Background on my family: Mom is Mexican, and a bit Spaniard? But it's also talked abt on that side of possible Aztec blood and that her great great grandfather was a shapeshifter, Dad is Mexican, Native American, and Filipino not much is known abt my Filipino side other than our last name, we do practice some Native American practices such as Sage cleansing, talking to Mother nature etc hence my father has always said we've been able to see and hear unexplainable things bc we share Native Blood and we all have seen things and heard things even my mother has, I'd also love to be more intuned with gifts I might possibly have? I've always been quite the lucky person myself but thinking now is it really all luck? And my grandma being the catholic woman she is doesnt believe in any of this stuff despite hearing and knowing abt it bc her husband my grandpa would always see things and hear things she always js blocked it out and when my tia wanted to embrace her Native American side once my grandpa passed my grandma shut her down as it wasn't aligned with her beliefs but eventually let her still she does enforces Catholicism in everyone's lives)

Santa muerte devotees please answer

Hello everyone I am a Santa muerte devotee who venerates her ( I don’t “work” with her or do any spell work with her) I just pray for protection of my family and lately I’ve been praying the rosary consistently (ofc before I pray the rosary I invoke her then after I do my own prayers of protection dedicated to her after ) anyways I been praying the rosary everyday at 3:30 am bc I am desperate for a miracle. Praying the rosary gives me a peace of mind. I wanted to ask everyone how fast does she come through for you guys when you pray to her in times of desperation?

Mamí holding my cat

My husband got me this skeleton holding a cat (from Walmart), he said it was perfect for my altar.

I painted the cat to look like my baby boy, Niko. Now my Niko will always be protected and in Death’s arms.🥰

No sé si creer o no… ¿sugerencias?

Soy una persona agnóstica, soy alejada de alguna religión, pero muy en el fondo creo (aunque muy poco) que existe un ente mayor y energías. La cuestión es… hace un año me leyeron el tarot, y leían que no iba a crecer en mi trabajo y que me iba a mantener en el mismo puesto (cosa que se ha cumplido a pesar de que he aplicado a miles de otros empleos y empresas buscando revertir y crecer). hace un par de semanas me acerqué con otra persona y en la lectura de tarot me comentó lo mismo, “al parecer tengo un bloqueo de caminos”.
Esta persona trabaja con la santa muerte y ya van dos veces que me pide que prendamos veladoras en su altar. Busco recomendaciones, orientación, consejos o solo palabras de aliento y paciencia.

Santa Muerte Says

Santa Muerte says you need a rest! Even if it meant taking a break from work or school work by holiday. Dont force your own health over them :)

Breakfast with my queen.

I cooked hash browns, eggs, and breakfast sausage and poured some OJ and had breakfast with Mom today. I hope she liked it ❤️

Art for Santísima 💀

My illness has been flaring up, so I have been bed bound for a couple of weeks. I haven’t been able to spend much time at her altar so I have been making lots of digital art as an act of devotion! (None of the images in the collages belong to me, all are from Pinterest or tumblr, just the collage itself is done by me 😋)

¿Todos sienten miedo al acercarse a la santa muerte por primera vez?

A veces me ha llamado la atención, tuve la muerte presente cuando falleció mi padre y yo tenía 8 años. Quizás desde ahí fue. Pero últimamente a veces me llama la atención y me da miedo dar el paso, que hayan consecuencias o que ya no haya vuelta atrás. Muchas veces mientras lo pienso siento como si los cuervos locales me pusieran atención. No sé si tiene que ver realmente.

Igual mi abuelo me regaló una santa muerte , como un dije , cuando yo era menor y cuando la vi no la quise aceptar, me asustó mucho. Lo raro que mi abuelo no era devoto pero siento que lo compro creyendo que era una calavera común o alguien se la regalo (trabajaba en rancho y convivía mucho con los trabajadores)

My pink travel size Santisima Statue broke in half

I have a pink santita that I got in Berlin 3 years ago, her and the white were my first statues. I travel alot and dont have a set home right now but when I had her altar up a few weeks ago I was placing a glass of water and she fell and broke in half. When I put the two halves together she stays but I'm going to get super glue. I've been having nightmare heart break relationship issues since she broke. Help?
