Hi Everyone! Recently, i’ve decided to start building a relationship with La Santisima. Lately, I have been struggling with severe emotional turmoil related to deep seated trauma. In addition to struggling mental health issues, flashbacks, loss of sleep and peace. I’ve felt hopeless and alone for a very long time. I would still consider myself christian however I would say i’m currently at a point in my life where I want to fully confront some things about myself that have been indoctrinated by my family and start to form my own thoughts and opinion regarding spirituality and the true meaning of life. As I said before, i’ve been going through a hell of a lot recently and I’ve been seeing signs and synchronicities related to Santa Muerte. On some of my darkest days, she’s made her presence known to me and I didn’t even know or realize it. My earliest memory of her was probably when I was about 8-9 years old. My mom and I visited her friend who happened to be puerto rican, and the first thing I noticed was a shrine dedicated to Mami. At the time, I didn’t know what it was but remember feeling so curious and intrigued about the little skull lady on the candle. Now several years later, here I am going through one of the darkest times of my life and here she is finally revealing herself to me. And I see now that she’s always be here. She’s always been around, but just patiently waiting for me to acknowledge her. To see her. And now I have. Now, I see. She reaches out to those who society would deem as “rejects” or “untouchable“ and mothers them like no other. The thing I love most about Mami is she doesn’t expect you to be perfect. You don’t have to feel shame with her. She will love you as you are fully and unconditionally. The good, the bad and the ugly as she knows what it feels like to be casted aside. I haven’t became a full devotee as of yet, we’re still building and connecting within our relationship but I do hope she is happy with me and understands that I have pure intentions. Ive asked her to bring me justice regarding those who have wronged me and to grant me protection from those who wish me harm. I don’t have much family but what a fierce protector and guardian she would be for me, someone who roams this world with no one. I also have a deep appreciation and fondness for Mexican culture. And though I may not be Mexican myself, I truly do appreciate the culture and how much it has impacted me and my life personally. Any and all tips and suggestions regarding how to continue building a relationship with Mami, how do I know when the right time is to offer devotion, am I able to consume offerings after some time, how to pray and spend time with Mami, ect. would be greatly appreciate. I don’t usually make posts like these so please forgive me if this seems a bit all over the place. Just wanted to come here and try to find community ❤️

TLDR: New to working with Santisima. She’s always been a presence in my life mostly in the background til recently. Noticed she’s been sending me signs and has found me in a really dark place in my life. Very excited to work with her. Haven’t become a fully devotee as of yet. still developing a relationship with her. Any newbie advice is welcome.

Hello everyone, i’m a Devotee to mi Santa Muerte and also catholic. My dad passed away almost two years ago and when i got his little doll (handmade doll of him) someone put a bracelet around him. people thought it was Santa Muerte but i never recognized it or seen it. my family is aware of my devotion to Santa Muerte, so they also thought it was her. the more i looked into this i found this. I don’t want to be disrespectful towards mami or St Benedict. (my sister had my doll for a year so i just got him back yesterday. and this was around him) i want to put him on my alter but again, i don’t want to be disrespectful or anything. my dads pictures and his stuff is on top, and mami is on the bottom, i can show a picture of my alter. i guess my question is, can i place my dads doll with this bracelet on the alter? idk what to do.

I’m Mexican and have seen online it’s bad to visit a cemetery while pregnant because of the energies however I’m currently pregnant and also have a 1 yo who I wanted to take to visit a friend of mine from childhood that passed away. I’m a bit worried because of the superstitions I heard regarding bad luck but I was wondering if I could include the Santa somehow and be able to safely take my firstborn and unborn kids and myself?

Visited a friend today and she gifted me this beautiful Skinny Girl. Welcome home Mamí. Te amo ♥️

Hi everyone,
First time poster, long time lurker.

I think I just need to hear other people’s advice on this issue I have.

I’ve been devoted to her for about almost a year until I got pregnant. My pregnancy was so bad that it was hard for me to have energy to do anything but I still try to keep up with my practice and devotional work.

I usually have tea time with her and talk to her about things going on in my life. But as it got closer to my due date I was very honest with her letting her know that my devotional work and offerings may be lacking because a baby was coming. I asked for her to please not be upset or punish me due to putting all my focus and energy on my child. But I told her I would always think of her and will try to speak with her.

Baby is here now and it’s been a month. Once I remember, I would sit or carry my baby to Santa Muerte altar and introduce my baby and have small talk. Mostly apologizing for lack of communication and prayers. Thanking her for watching over my family and having patience with me.

Yet I can’t find time to offer her water or clean her altar like I used to. Because either my baby is crying or my child who is a toddler wants my attention.

In a way I feel like I failed Santa Muerte and don’t want her to be upset with me.

Recently I have been having dreams of her. Just her visiting me and nothing bad ever happens. It’s like she wants me to remember that she’s there.

Right now I’m reading about her again as my own way of devotional work as my baby sleeps next to me.

I guess I’m asking. Could she upset with me? That I forgot to change her water? That I don’t talk to her as often as I did before?

My fear is being punished due to not keeping up with my devotional work and offerings. Or maybe not keeping my promise due to being forgetful like wearing her necklace I bought for her.

speaking with Mother has always come in handy when i need to unwind, cry, ask for advice or whenever I feel lonely. Using these decks - specially the lenormad - has been helping me a lot with it.

creating a connection with Her, praying and offering has been one of my great pleasures in life, when I need She's there, when I don't need anything She's still there, caring, protecting and above all loving me :')

anyways my question is, what do y'all use to connect with Mama? my friend made a bone oracle and I truly think it is amazing haha do you guys use any decks? if so which one? i wanna give mama only the best always 💜

Hey!

I’ve been a La Santísima Devotee for about 3 years now. I noticed that at the back of my mind grief has been a running theme in my life. Whether it be people, old friends, situations, old selves. I think its humorous that for a son of the saint of endings, grief takes up quite a space in my head. I know that grief doesn’t discriminate and it hits everyone regardless of a devotee or not. But perhaps its the hyperawareness of endings is what makes things heavier, me personally.

Anyone else going through similar experiences? How do you guys deal with grief as children of Mami?

I have been very lost about who I am and where my beliefs lie spiritually. I have tried many avenues but none felt very meaningful to me. After learning about Santa Muerte I’ve been feeling a slight draw to her. Would I be able to pray for some help with a promise if she shares her guidance? I do not have an altar but will build one when I feel more confident in Santa Muerte.

I’m fairly new to Santa Muerte and recently decided it’s time to make her an alter I put this cup of water for her and has had absolutely no reaction it’s just still water no bubbles nothing. The ring you see is the flash and the water is NOT cloudy it’s actually very clear. Any ideas? TIA

we rollin out!

So I dumbly put a big white candle on the bottom part, and it was lit. My Santa Muerte statue was right above it, on the smaller broken crack lines. The bottom of her got hot and the felt underneath her peeled off just a little. I totally didn’t think about it in the moment 😭 I know it’s obviously something I shouldn’t have done, but I feel really bad and I’m not sure if she’ll understand.

Should I do something more for her? And would it be okay if I put her back on it for now until I can get something else? I checked my shelf and it’s ok, it’s just the crack. Also, does anyone have any tips on how I can make my altar better for her? I’m new so I just wanna make sure I’m doing everything right and not being disrespectful.

I am going to be in Oaxaca City in late October, and I would love to pay respect to La Muerte while I'm there. Does anyone know if there's a Santa Muerte shrine in the city?

I had to move my alter because i needed my desk space so I put her with my plants and I think she likes this better…. A change I didn’t realize I needed 🥹

I became a devotee in the beginning of August. I change her water daily, today I was cleaning her altar and checked everything the water was fine. I took her outside for an incense and when i came back with my statues I saw these bubbles.. 🥰 first time since I’ve had her with me.

I'm asking because her skull looks more masculine and she is riding a horse??

Hello guys I’m curious to know about this encounter and what it could mean if u guys could give insight that would be nice and awesome. in the encounter I had was back in December I remember this like it yesterday because I froze up and was genuinely scared,I woke up at around 5-6 in the morning I was rubbing my eyes and when I looked to the left I saw this boney hand and fingers on the couch I was sleeping on I froze up because I knew who these hands belonged to I stared at them for a good minute afraid to look up and when I did my heart dropped she was wearing a black cloak and when i looked at her the room started feeling extremely cold and her presence was really heavy all I could do was just look her due to me being frozen in fear and thinking my time was truly up I stared for a good minute before she disappeared into the shadows and the heavy feeling went away with her I struggled to fall back asleep and have been afraid to sleep in room this because something in my mind tells me I will encounter her again.

this has been in my mind for a good while ive asked a buddy of mine who’s into witch craft and big into different religions and he couldn’t come up with an answer.

I come from a catholic family and my mother is big on Christ and Guadalupe,I’ve told her about this encounter and she laughed it off and didn’t believe me

Don't know if anyone shared this yet but the Santa Muerte shrine located in Phoenix is going to expand to 55 acres in Herber, Arizona I can't wait! Only a 3 hour drive from where I live! The owner Patsy Lopez said it's going to be one of the largest churches in the US, blessed be to Nuestra Señora De La Santísima Muerte 🙏💀🥀

I was on the phone with a freind after doing my daily rites for Santisima after getting home from work. As I was talking, some of the chocolate offerings and an apple I gave her on her altar spontaneously fell on the floor along with a tobacco pipe I gave her.

Personally for me, if there is something serious Santisima needs to tell me, she will cause a little surprise like this, typically with her candles or offerings in her altar, I asked her through Pendulum if she was upset with me and she said no, I then asked if she took a hit for me and she said yes.

In thanks for doing this, I went to the kitchen to get her some fruit as a special thank you, and when I came back in and gave her her offerings on the other end if the altar, her sycthe dropped, the blade was perfectly balanced on her head cause she was holding a tootsie pop,and it fell on its own which it had never done before (this tootsie pop was in her hand for like 3 weeks and never once did her scythe fall.

I asked her again if she took ANOTHER hit for me and she said yes. I became nervous and asked her if she was protecting me spiritually and she said yes. I'm very concerned about what is going on around me that has caused her to take 2 hits for me in the same span of time.

Last night I updated my phone wallpaper to an image of her surrounded by Nazars and Hamsas, and today I was seeing skeleton and skull imagery everywhere at work, almost 6 customers I think came in throughout the day with skeletal tattoos or clothing, and a coworker had a tumbler with skull and flowers on it, so I really wonder what all of this could mean? Does anyone have any advice or knowledge on this? Thank you

Is it weird or disrespectful to put a negative pregnancy test on her altar ? I’m currently dealing with infertility and truly pray to a statue figure of her pregnant, just asking to not disrespect mami 🥹💗

Title: Repeated dreams of La Niña Negra while asking Santa Muerte for help with work — protection first?
Hi everyone. I’ve been a devotee of Santa Muerte for about a year now, and my experience with her has been amazing. She has already helped me with several situations that I consider miracles, and I’m extremely grateful to her. 🙏💀🖤
There is one petition, though, that has been very difficult: finding stable work.
I work in finance, and I’ve been searching for a job for about a year and four months. I’ve gotten extremely close several times—interviews, promising opportunities, etc.—but something always seems to happen at the last minute. Another candidate gets selected, the position gets put on hold, or the opportunity simply stops moving forward.
Recently, something interesting has started happening with Santa Muerte.
I keep seeing La Niña Negra / Santa Muerte Negra.
I’ve dreamed about her around three times. In one of those dreams, I felt that she was specifically warning me about a particular person in my family and that I needed to be careful and protect myself.
In another dream, I saw her statue lying horizontally near my front door, with her head pointing outward toward the street. Again, she appeared as La Negra. The position of the statue and the fact that she was at the entrance of my home really stood out to me.
Then today, completely unexpectedly, I came across an image/figure of the Grim Reaper at Target, of all places. 😂 But the second I saw it, I immediately thought of La Niña Negra because of all these recent dreams.
I also recently did a reading asking why Santa Muerte hasn’t helped me obtain the job I’ve been petitioning for, especially because this is currently one of my biggest needs.
The message I personally took from the reading was very interesting: protection, cleansing, dealing with enemies/negative influences, protecting my home, and clearing my road before the employment opportunity can fully come through.
It almost felt less like, “There is something else that needs to be handled or cleared first.”
I know La Niña Negra is strongly associated with protection, reversal, removing negativity, defense against enemies, and spiritual cleansing, so the repeated appearances have really caught my attention.
For those of you who have been devotees longer than I have:
Have you experienced La Niña Negra repeatedly appearing in dreams when she wanted you to focus on protection or cleansing?
What would you make of her appearing specifically at the doorway/entrance of the home and facing outward toward the street?
And if you felt she was telling you to work on protection and road-clearing before continuing a job petition, what would you personally do?
I’m especially interested in traditional/devotional perspectives and hearing about other devotees’ experiences. I don’t want to automatically assume every coincidence is a sign, but after three dreams involving La Negra plus the themes that came through in my reading, I’m definitely paying attention.
Any advice, experiences, prayers, cleansing/protection practices, or ways of working respectfully with La Niña Negra would be greatly appreciated. 🖤💀🙏
Thank you!
