SOMEONE ELSE WHO DOES THE THING! Not exactly the same, but some of the entities I work with have musical ringtones (completely at odds to my personal tastes, I swear they're mocking me). Song fragments will pop into my head on repeat until I realize "oh, X wants a word." (One goddess in particular uses one line from Hips Don't Lie which makes me want to laugh and cry in equal measure. She finds this entertaining.)

Mine is nowhere near that level of honed.

A number of interesting bones. A mug of hot water with a variety of teas so that you can choose what you'd like. A comfy chair. A pile of art-ing tools. Dark feathers and charcoal.

And then I sit in the comfy chair and sip my tea as I draw you beautiful art. <3

yes im a beliver !!! i was asking to see if you could like guide me or help where im from theres Not alot of ppl who belive in her !

Oh, well that's good.

I'm historically just not a very good guide. I can say that carpeumbra is the resident Santa Muerte knowledge-person. Before you go talk to him, it would be a good idea to research her background and the culture she stems from, and read on that or perhaps watch a documentary before speaking with him. Anyway, I'm by no means an expert or a feasible guide. But yes, I believe in her.

hello jess, i was wondering if you had some time, maybe you could help me? i'm a little bit new to this, and people are mentioning scapegoats in passing and such, and i was wondering what those were? i've tried to find a definition myself, but nothing's come up. if you have a mo, a little help would be really great, and if not, could you please point me toward somewhere i can get my question answered? thanks

Hello, friend!

In short, a scapegoat is something that you use to direct some sort of punishment or sin or curse or what have you away from you and to something else. It usually involves bits of you, like drops of blood or hair, and a smack of your own energy, to attract the curse/etc. away from you and toward the thing that it "thinks" is you.

I love scapegoats! Typically mine are made of thin clay with things of mine on the inside. If it breaks, then I know it's absorbed a curse. There's lots of other cool things that you can do too with scapegoats--they're a really diverse and useful medium!

Do you know of any shamans on tumblr?

None that I know of. Obviously there are people who walk around claiming to be shamans, but I've never met one in person, I've never talked to one seriously, and I've never met one who was part of the culture, and I've never met one whose supposed shaman abilities held up under questioning. So... tl;dr, no.
