The Spiritual Significance

Santa Muerte, "Holy Death," is a folk saint venerated widely in Mexico and beyond, honored within Mexican folk Catholicism as a guardian, protector, and hearer of petitions. Devotees keep her image and light candles to her for protection, clearing, justice, and safe passage. This candle carries that devotion in a quartz-topped tin scented with clover, a herb tied in folk practice to luck and harmony, with clear quartz, the all-purpose amplifier, scattered on top. The candle is a focus for petition and intention rather than something that acts on its own; in folk practice the saint is asked, thanked, and honored, and protective work stays cleanest when it guards your own and clears what has been laid against you rather than striking outward. Tend it with the respect a devotional candle is given.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the tin and set it open on a heat-safe surface, with the lid aside.
2. Make your petition. Name the protection or clearing you are asking of Santa Muerte, plainly and with respect.
3. Light it and tend it. Light the wick and let it burn while you hold your petition, then snuff and cap it when you are done.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and set the tin on a plate, since the metal grows warm.
