SANTA MUERTE

Others claim she is the Grim Reaper, and they pray she will bring death to their enemies. Still others ask her for protection "even as they do harm to others," Devotion to death is rooted in prehistoric indigenous cultures. The Aztecs had a death goddess named Mictlantecuhtli, and practiced human sacrifices to feed the gods. "It is difficult to know when exactly the Santa Muerte cult began," Which also holds an altar with a dozen figures of Santa Muerte in robes of white, gold and black. Black stands for a death wish or for bringing harm to an enemy. White is for protection, and gold is for money. Red, another color associated with Santa Muerte, represents passion. She holds a prayer card to Santa Muerte, which in part reads: "en Dios creo y en ti confío" - "in God I believe, and in you I confide." People pray to Santa Muerte for jobs, good fortune and money, as well as for safety.
