The Spiritual Significance

Santa Muerte, whose name means Holy Death, is a folk saint venerated chiefly in Mexico and among Mexican communities abroad. She is pictured as a robed skeleton bearing a scythe and a globe, and her devotees, who number in the millions, bring her candles, water, flowers, and tobacco in exchange for her protection and intercession. Though her veneration grows from Mexican folk Catholicism, it stands outside the official Church, carried instead in homes, market stalls, and roadside shrines. Many devotees work with her by candle color: white for cleansing and gratitude, red for love, gold for prosperity, black for strong protection.

An oil named for Santa Muerte is a devotional tool, a way to dress the candle or charm you set before her as you make your petition and keep your promises to her. She is widely honored for protection, justice for those the world has wronged, steadfast love, and safe passage through danger and through death itself. Approach her with respect and honesty, as her devotees do, and keep the offerings and promises you make. The oil carries your devotion into the working; the relationship you build with her is your own.
