This practice is performed on an altar and improves the connection with Santa Muerte, serves as an offering, and enhances the quality of rituals.
Say a prayer in front of the altar:
"Great mortal power, I believe in the power of Santa Muerte.
You are the inevitable, there is no escape from you. You consume universes. You purify and transform with your power. You are the silent queen, time is not your domain. Your mystery captivates all at all times, and you free us from the shackles of illusion and veil. Uncompromising maiden Holy Death, take me who serve you into your merciful and harsh embrace, show me the true essence of things and protect me, establish justice with your punishing power. You are the Mother of the cold sunset and the moon, accepting and mercilessly judging all for their actions. Your light is bright and dark, you bind the worlds together, take me who serve you, reveal the truth for my sake, do not take my breath before my time, but your cycle will not be broken. I believe in the power of Santa Muerte. Amen"
light incense or frankincense on the altar with the prayer:
"I honor you, Lady Santa Muerte, and I believe in your power.
You are the law of truth, and you are inevitable.
Everyone asks you for something, and you give it to them and transform them.
Gracious and severe maiden, accept my prayer in your glory, for I love you and recognize your power forever. Amen."
Pour wine into a bowl and place it in the center of the altar, and imagine the image of Santa Muerte in front of you:
"Accept this gift and do not take your all-seeing gaze from me. Let me, your servant, share your meal in union and alliance with you, Santa Muerte."
take a sip and feel the power of Santa Muerte flowing into your body with the wine, feel it as inevitable and cold, it is the law
"I am Santa Muerte. Amen"
take a second sip and feel the on the verge of sleep and wakefulness, in a trance-like state
"Amen. Santa Muerte is me"
take a third sip and feel that you and Santa Muerte are one and the same
No more words are needed here, you arrive in Santa Muerte, Santa Muerte arrives in you.In this state, you can perform rituals related to Santa Muerte, but remember the rule: Everything must be done with justice. Otherwise, the Holy Death will quickly "stroke" you with her scythe to establish order.
let go:
"I thank you and rejoice, holy death. My soul is full of joy and gratitude; do not withdraw from me, but let me always praise you. Amen"
Leave the remaining wine on the altar as an offering
