r/SantaMuerte

Hello everyone in this sub. I wanted to share a situation that's holding me back from setting up a permanent altar in my house. It turns out that my family isn't very tolerant of beliefs other than Jesus, the cross, and the Virgin Mary, so I know that if I set up an altar to Santa Muerte in my room, it could cause problems.

I would like to know if Santa Muerte would mind if I built a hidden altar, in a box that remains closed or on a shelf with doors. The idea is that she won't be seen so that she won't be despised or mistreated. I wouldn't want her to feel threatened or unwelcome.

Ok so this is kinda a mixed post lol I want to put my name out there and let people know i do tarot readings and soon gonna have spell oils and sprays available but also a prayer request to remove any blockages in my way because this is my dream job to be able to help people and do this as a living.

I just learned of her. I was watching a video talking about a bad person. One of the cops in the video seemed to be a little scared of Santa Muerte. I got confused, a little mishap in memory. The cop was just pointing her out in the video but it was a comment in the comment section that seemed a little scared of her. SORRY. I get that the girl in the video was bad but it had me curious. So I looked up who Santa Muerte was. For the most part it was very wholesome. I don't know if wholesome is the right word but I'm using it. Also, the community surrounding her seems to be fairly wholesome too.

Anyways, my mind has latched onto her. I kept and keep thinking about her for the past couple of days. Which isn't my status quo. I'm not the biggest fan of religion. I'm also just fairly atheistic. More of a leaning than definite.

However, I'm wanting to learn more about her. I was looking for books but the opinions on them seems to be a little mixed. Maybe, good resources like websites will work?

I have to ask a question. Does Santa Muerte like cats. My cat was being very aggressively affectionate. He doesn't normally do that. This post took a lot longer to type because of it.

I’ve been leaving offerings of flower on my altar for mommy. About an 8th of green and 2g of concentrate. I am still new to my devotion. I am trying to figure out when to remove stuff from the altar. I know when to remove food and drink from the altar, I’m not sure about flower. I can roll one for her with the green, that’s no problem. I’m wondering about the concentrate.

My questions are, when should I reset? Should I leave it till it’s completely expired? Should I smoke it with her? Would she be offended if I smoked with her (since it was an offering for her)?

hello everyone :) i’m a new devotee to La Santa Muerte and i had a question about an altar setup up for her! i recently went to a Botanica with my girlfriend and fell in love with a statue of La Santa Muerte Embarazada. My girlfriend was so incredibly kind and gifted her to me and i feel so incredibly blessed but i am not sure how to go about setting up her altar in a respectful way. We live in a one bedroom apartment that already has some altars up. I am giving Santa Muerte her own place by our windows, separate from the other altars so she has her own space but aside from that I don’t have much room for another altar. I want to offer her coffee and tequila in the near future since I have a small La Niña Blanca statue but I dont want to be disrespectful to Santa Muerte Embarazada. Am I okay to leave these offerings for her with both statues on the altar but keep them separated? I’m just very lost and cant find much online. Thank you so much and many blessings 🖤

So basically I’m going on a trip before I left I panicked about what to do with Mami yk? I didn’t know who was gonna be coming in and out of my room (I live in a shed so everyone has their own room) anyways my family has a big no no on devoting to La Santa Muerte (whole story) and my mom is letting me make that decision for myself in other words I didn’t know what to do with her so I wrapped her in a shirt and put her in my dresser💔😭 I told her I was sorry and that it was just for the week but I honestly didn’t know what to do

currently, i'm keeping my santa muerte altar in my bedroom, but i'd like to move it to my living room to be closer to her as well as due to the fact that the energy in my room constantly feels kind of stale or claustrophobic because i have no window.

Been a devotee on and off for 5 years Let's just say i am working my butt off to be on her good side again i have made broken promises before and always apologize but why is there so much superstition surrounding Santa Muerte and fear about promises? From what i have experienced all she does is slowly take those things she gave you away and when you notice something is not right it's a wake up call from mami but i don't and will never believe she causes misfortune.

My overall experience with her has been positive even when i just got super lazy in my spiritual practice i verbally ended my relationship with her explained my reasoning then got rid of my candles, statues etc, honestly spending on spiritual items is very expensive and I felt bad not holding my end of the bargain so i just gave up.

I Recently got back into spirituality and bought a whole new altar i recently had some drinks from the tequila i bought her with her permission and just promised to turn on her candles before asking for favors again. I guess the purpose of this rant is why is there so many you shouldn't do xyz thing or she will be upset when she is a very understanding mother. Is it just fear mongering?

I find myself neglecting santa muerte’s preference for material offerings-tobacco, sweets, chocolate, etc simply because I don’t find a lot of personal significance in those things and I don’t really have a place in my apartment for perishables as such. I was wondering if this makes me a bad devotee or if I need to be better. I do pray, I do light candles, I have actively been seeking a career in funeral service since I feel as if I would find it fulfilling, and I do pick up roadkill to give the animal a proper burial, I do this in her name as I do it in mine. Is this sufficient?
