@bibliophilicwitch This week for tea and tomes I’m reading the latest Santa Muerte offering and really enjoying it. This book does a great job giving cultural context :)

i unironically love this?????

Hmm. Does it still count if you use secondhand votives to worship, or does the spiritual credit go to the person who used the candle first?

[Cultural note: If you didn’t know, Santa Muerte is a significant figure in some Mexican cultural and religious practices, a result of the collision of Catholicism (the veneration of saints) and Mesoamerican folk religion (a reverence toward death).]

[scooterjam-blog]

She’s often depicted as the patron saint of murderers and narco-traffickers, and the Catholic Church condemns devotion to her as blasphemy. But Santa Muerte, or Saint Death, is a Mexican folk saint with a growing following across North America, particularly among the marginalized – transsexuals, immigrants, the poor. A community of Santa Muerte devotees in Queens, New York, shows the life inherent in the worship of Saint Death as they prepare for their annual fiesta in her honor.

May she give you all that you need

El fotógrafo Chihuahuense José Luis González Palacios compartió en su Facebook una imagen tomada para Reuters donde la silueta de un policía y la puerta de la patrulla se reflejan en la sombra como una silueta de la Santa Muerte.

Gonzalez Palacios compartió esta fotografía el día de ayer e indicó en su publicación que los policías vigilaban la escena del crimen donde tres hombres fueron asesinados a balazos en Ciudad Juárez.
