The religion of Santa Muerte “Saint Death” Part 1 of 2
Aug 19th, 2010 by MrCult
Saint Death (also known as La Santísima Muerte (Holy Death), and Doña Sebastiana (Lady Sebastianne), is a religious figure who receives petitions for love, luck, and protection. Saint Death is often depicted as a female figure. In some Mexican traditions, most notably among the descendants of Austrian immigrants, Saint Death is believed to be the wife of Krampus. She is sometimes referred to as Virgin Mary’s twisted sister Although the Catholic Church has attacked the worship of Saint Death as a pagan tradition contrary to the Christian belief of Christ defeating death, many people insist on praying to this figure for miracles. Saint Death is venerated by a wide variety of people from many different backgrounds. Often, those who pray to this figure are seeking the recovery of health, stolen items, or kidnapped family members. This Saint is frequently dressed as a grim reaper with a scythe and scales (the scales may be reminiscent of St. Michael). She may also be dressed in a long, white satin gown with a golden crown (Muerte, and its related Romance words, have a feminine gender). In this form, many devotees view her as a variation of the Virgin Mary. Santa Muerte Blanca Grim Reaper statues are made in red, white, green and black for love, luck, financial success and protection. Offerings to Saint Death include roses, marijuana, cigarettes, fruit, candy and tequila. Public shrines to Saint Death are adorned with red roses, cigars, and bottles of tequila, and Saint Death …

If this is where Mexico is going then fuck liberal democracy, they need Marxist Leninism!
I am a loyal soldier of Saint Death. She has given me the order of counter-atttack those who attack her. She has given me 3 Holy tasks; 1. Pee on every virgen of guadalupe that I come across. 2. Burn every Saint Patrick that I come across. 3. Find every flag of the united states and shit on it. I will do as i was ordered.
@screwoffreg Bullshit. Would you like me to send you the several historical accounts from resources other than the bible or the Torah proving that Jesus was an actual historical figure. That part is not even debatable. Whether He was a deity or the Son of God may be arguable but the fact that he did exist is not. You are a retard.
@ThEMuErTeX3 White magic derives it’s power from the same place as black magic. All magic derives it’s power from Satan.
@Johannwyss82 Again, you are a dumbass. There is tons of evidence through historical (not just the bible) but other cultures historical accounts that prove that Jesus was a real living, breathing, walking, talking human being… that is not even debatable. Now you show me historical evidence that proves Santa Muerte is real. You can’t do it.
@Johannwyss82 you’re a dumbass. Lucifer is not known as Saint Lucifer in Christianity! Where the fuck did you get that wild idea ya fucking idiot.
LMAO!! HAHAHA WHOOO!! holy shit, people will fuckin believe anything nowadays. i swear, give it about six months, we’ll have the religion of flatulence, with the almighty dingleberry as our lord and protecter, with his raunchy smell, hair and corn covered form, he shall protect us all from wickedness, and the evil green flies. his most holy name shall be: SANTA CACA!
hear and believe oh gullible religous ones, for SANTA CACA shall rule and those who don’t believe shall feel his corny wrath!
Saint Death makes sense as it is the great balancer. Death respects neither wealth or power and makes us all equal.
@gangstanikes Wrong, there are no records of Jesus except one Roman fourth hand story. It is likely that he NEVER existed. Christianity started as a mystery cult among dozens, so it was LUCKY to be recognized instead of Mithra, Isis worship, etc.
@Johannwyss82 the romans kept records and we know Jesus is real. there is an angel of death who is a archangel and I’ve known people who practice this and they are usually greedy people who want money. but the mother mother mary is way more powerfull than any angel she can give more protection than anyone needs, she can not offer happiness in this life but only after death. only the devil will promise you happiness in this life.
@Johannwyss82 Jesus(pbuh) is not God. The only ONE who even makes the claim that HE created everything (even you) is your LORD. Nobody else claiming to be a god dared not to make that claim for a reason. Now if you dont know WHO that is, then ya betta ask somebody.
@RootsRunDeeep
You know, all this evolution talk would be considered blasphemy “back in the day”…rofl.
You would’ve been chastised like Galileo Galilei. XD Hahaha.
@RootsRunDeeep
That statement is both irrational & improbable.
If that was true, Neanderthal, Homo-Erectus, & Homo-Sapiens held like origins in Africa. Which is not the case. Neanderthals appeared in Europe at the same time Homo-Erectus expanded out of Africa to East Asia. Then Homo-Sapiens appeared after both previous genus had completely vanished…
So like I said, that is both irrational & improbable. [good try though, I probably would've agreed if I didn't already know about the subject]
@Xosviet all human dna can trace their beginnings to a black pussy- u didnt know?
@RootsRunDeeep
Ok Tyrannosaurus Rex, I’m sure we all came from your ancient, wrinkly cock-box.
That’s where we see things differently you foul mouth [just kidding, I love the dirty talk rofl] When I’m talking about you, I’m talking about and to you.
@Xosviet nigger/faggot/bitch….its all good. but, remember. if u talk about me- u talk about ur self-because civilization came from my pussy.
@angelnegro281
Oh kinda like God always wants something in return? Rofl XD
People call her a Saint because she is a Saint you imbecile…don’t you understand the use to Orthodox Title?
As far as me believing her…who the hell said I pray to Santisima Muerte, because surely I didn’t. Although if I were in front of these “non-existent gates of this non-existent Hell” (show me in the bible, where it says Hell is a place) I’d gladly welcome it. Look at this world and tell me, does God really care?
@Xosviet she will always want something in return. and why do people call her a saint? god beat death. she is nobody. believe in her if you want but when your in front of hells gate u will regret it. just watch kid
@RootsRunDeeep
You truly are something special.
I never thought in my whole life I would meet someone who insist they understand something which they have yet to study on more than one level of thinking. I didn’t know they still make niggers. rofl XD
@Xosviet “you obviously dont understand that each religion…..ALTHOUGH FOLLOWING THE SAME FAITH..” thank you ! catholics will call me blasphemous? FUCK CATHOLICISM.
@RootsRunDeeep
No…you obviously don’t understand that each religion, although following the same faith, do not necessarily work in parallel orders. Hence why they are different religions.
Orthodox Catholics, would call turning from your taught faith blasphemy. So, in a sense yes some would consider to be a blasphemer.
I agree, maybe you have been drinking too much kool-aid, you ignorant fool. XD hahaha.
@Xosviet christians holy book is the bible- including catholics. catholics are just a branch like Adventist or pentecostal or episcopalian or jehovahs witness or baptist….different branches under the same tree- that tree is chrsitianity- and they all are followers of the bible. am i being blasphemous? cause i said i was raised in a christian church but am not currently christian- tell me- do you know what day is today?….what about what time? ur logic is dizzy. maybe its the kool-aid.
@RootsRunDeeep
Catholics are not Christians…granted they are founded on the teachings of the Holy Bible, but Catholics don’t worship Jesus.
If you are not Christian then why did you say “I grew up in the christian religion…” Are you now a blasphemous whore of babylon?
As for Santisima Muerte resembling a popularized more than likely inaccurate Virgin Mary, that’s a farce of a comparison.
Criminals turn to her seeking guidance, it’s not a cult that encourages sinners to remain sinning.
@Xosviet Catholics **ARE** CHRISTIAN. its just another denomination, thats all that is.
christ-ians worship Jesus.
MY pussy version religion? im NOT christian- so your wrong there too. Santisima muerte or otherwise affectionatly translated as uh..saint death, is akined to the carcas of mary. if you want to remain a criminal pray to saint death.im waiting 4 u.

Witchcraft is not a faith, it is a practice. If you’re branching out into parallel aspects such as Hoodoo, Santeria, and Wicca, I suggest you keep in mind…
Just because you find yourself attracted to it, does not necessarily mean you should follow it as a faith. When you understand it, you become what ideals the practice requires.
I’m not talking trash, and not trying to be rude. However, the aspect of such faith goes far deeper than practice, you must embody it.
