Blessed Santa Muerte Protect the forgotten, the rejected, the unloved You most holy death, whose love knows no bounds Who truly embraces all regardless of who or what they are You who comes to all equally Let your love and protection flow to those that need it most To those whom society has abandoned and rejected Protect those who are most vulnerable with your might scythe Let those who would take advantage, the bullies and usurpers, know your wrath Protect those with no strength left to protect themselves Protect the ones who need you Oh might Santa Muerte, protect us Most holy Santa Muerte be with us We thank you highest one, Amen

Santa Muerte Bendición para los Marginados

Outsiders like to believe hoodoo is as simple as it can get. Just throwing easy-to-find ingredients into a jar and praying over it. But there’s so much they’re missing.

Rootwork was born from our black peoples’ necessity, used for our ancestors survival, it was used and continues to be used as a tool for empowering those in the absolute worst situations of life, and using things that are simple to find even for those in need, but that doesn’t make the work itself any “easier”. The complexity and beauty in rootworking stems from knowing when and how to work your magic, what kind of trick is best to use, what ingredients and prayers to add, in which quantities (and using what sacred numbers to invoke what intention and spirits), how those ingredients interact with each other and how that affects the spell, for how long to work it, or even where to leave the remnants when you’re done, how to pay the spirits, and a long, long etc.

The ingredients may seem easy to find, but even how we acquire those ingredients has a meaning, and a use for us. Many times, it’s not just working the jar, but also working the oils that were used in the jar, and the blessing of each ingredient separately before making a whole, etc. It isn’t just our intention, our ancestors, our ashé that fuels our magic. Every step in the process is well-thought and planned, ritualized, strengthening our work even further.

I had the wildest dream. I was sitting at home watching tv and all of a sudden all the images around me was replaced with images of Kali. As I was looking around the room to see the different images of Kali, she showed up on my tv. She was so beautify and electric. She was talking to me (or maybe singing because I felt like I was in a trance state) and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. She smiled at me and the energy in the room changed. I changed. I felt her energy start to race through my body. It was like I got hit by lighting. Everything I felt I lacked she gave me. I felt like everything about me changed. Like I could take over the world. And I was happy. Genuinely.
