In Praise of the Lady of Power: An English-Language Booklet of Prayers Dedicated to La Santa Muerte - Anna Applegate
\nThe folk religious veneration of La Santa Muerte, Mexico's Skeleton Saint, continues to grow in popularity north of the U.S.-Mexico border, even among non-Hispanic/non-Spanish-speaking devotees. This little prayer book is meant to address the dearth of English-language devotionals for folks of all backgrounds who find themselves called to serve The Bony Lady but who may not know where to begin when it comes to starting a simple, heartfelt devotional practice.\n \n \n\n \nComplete with prayers to a variety of color-themed aspects or robes of La Santa Muerte as well as a powerful Novena, this book, written by a legally ordained Polytheistic priestess whose devotional practice as a Muertista spans more than a decade, is itself a devotional offering to La Santísima and a means of inspiring others to forge a closer relationship with Her. Bonus Appendix content includes a mythological survey of Virgin Death Goddesses from around the world as well as an Ifá-based spiritual cleansing ritual using sour and sweet baths.\n \n \n\n
