Mythology Summary
Santa Muerte is the Mexican folk saint of death, venerated from the mid-twentieth century and condemned by the Church, who is asked for protection, deliverance and justice by people with nowhere else to take it. She is death treated as an ally rather than an enemy.
Modern Practice
Santa Muerte is honoured with candles, water, tobacco and flowers on a home altar, and asked for specific concrete help. Her practice is blunt and loyal, and her moral position is argued about by everyone.
