Money Magick with Santa Muerte: A Path of Devotion, Abundance, and Trust
✨ Introduction: A Devotional Path to Prosperity with Santa Muerte
For many years, I’ve walked a devoted path with Santa Muerte—La Madrina, La Niña Blanca, La Huesuda. She is my protector, my mother, my guide through grief, healing, and transformation. While some fear her, I know her as a source of deep love and fierce justice. She asks for honesty, devotion, and respect—and in return, she offers comfort, clarity, and support through even the hardest of times.
This blog comes from my personal practice and lived experience working with La Santa for financial stability, sacred survival, and ethical abundance. I write this not as a distant observer, but as a devotee who has prayed at her feet, built altars in her name, and received her blessings in moments when I had nothing else to hold on to.
This offering also comes at a time when we are building something sacred and needed: Our Lady of the Shadows Temple, Boston—a space devoted to Santa Muerte and her many manifestations. It is a community-rooted temple project being created with love, prayer, and purpose to serve those who are often unseen, marginalized, or in need of spiritual refuge.
May this post—and the magick within—serve you well, and may Santa Muerte walk with you as she has walked with me.Money magick is a powerful practice—but when done in devotion to Santa Muerte, it becomes something deeper: a sacred exchange between you and a divine force who knows all about survival, transformation, and justice. Known as La Santísima or the Most Holy Death, Santa Muerte is a folk saint beloved by many who seek her help with protection, love, healing, and yes—prosperity.
In this blog, we explore how to work with Santa Muerte for financial blessings, ethical abundance, and the kind of spiritual power that can’t be bought.
Who Is Santa Muerte?
Santa Muerte is the personification of Death, often depicted as a skeletal figure cloaked in robes, holding a scythe and a globe. She’s feared by some, misunderstood by others, but to her devotees, she is the embodiment of unconditional love, truth, and transformation.
She is not bound by judgment. She welcomes all—queer, poor, outcast, imprisoned, addicted, heartbroken, grieving, marginalized. Her devotees often say: La Santa no discrimina. Santa Muerte doesn’t discriminate.
In money magick, this makes her especially powerful. She doesn’t care about your credit score or your past. She only asks for respect, honesty, and reciprocity.
Why Ask Santa Muerte for Help with Money?
Money is a form of energy—and like any form of energy, it can be influenced, redirected, blessed, or cursed. Many spiritual people carry shame or fear around wealth. But Santa Muerte teaches us that survival is sacred. Prosperity is not evil. And wanting to support yourself, your family, and your spiritual mission is nothing to be ashamed of.
Santa Muerte helps:
Those who need urgent financial relief
People navigating difficult systems like court, housing, debt, and jobs
Business owners seeking protection and steady clients
Undocumented workers and others in financial precarity
Devotees who feel spiritually blocked around wealth
She does not promise miracles overnight. But she does clear the path—if you walk it.
Key Principles of Santa Muerte Money Magick
1. Devotion First, Petition Second
Santa Muerte is not a vending machine. She is a spiritual ally who values real relationship. Before you begin asking for money, make an offering—flowers, candles, water, tequila, pan dulce, tobacco, or even your time in prayer. Speak to her. Thank her for what she’s already protected you from.
This builds trust. And trust is currency.
2. Be Specific and Honest
When you petition Santa Muerte for financial help, be clear. Tell her:
What you need (e.g., $500 to cover rent, a new job, clients for your service)
Why you need it (survival, family, education, stability)
What you’ll do in return (a public thanks, devotional candle, altar upkeep, a donation to the poor)
Do not lie to her. Santa Muerte sees everything—she is death itself.
3. Work with Her Color Correspondences
Santa Muerte comes in many colors, each representing a different area of life. For money magick, devotees often use:
Green Santa Muerte: For abundance, steady income, business growth, luck
Gold Santa Muerte: For wealth, riches, high-level prosperity, success
Red Santa Muerte: For strength, action, fast results in financial matters
Choose a statue, candle, or cloth in that color, and build your altar accordingly.
Simple Santa Muerte Money Ritual
Here’s a basic ritual you can perform at home:
You’ll need:
A green or gold candle (7-day or taper)
A photo or statue of Santa Muerte
A small offering (coins, dollar bill, tequila, or sweets)
A written petition (what you need, by when, why)
A cup of water
Optional: incense (copal or sandalwood)
Steps:
Cleanse your space with smoke or prayer. Light the candle and say:
“Santísima Muerte, I call on you with love and respect. I ask your blessing and protection as I open the way for abundance.”
Place your offering before her image and read your petition aloud.
Hold the petition in your hands and visualize money flowing toward you—legally, ethically, and easily. Imagine your bills paid, your needs met.
Say this prayer (or your own):
“Santa Muerte, Lady of Fortune and Flow,
Open the doors to prosperity. Help me earn, save, and grow.
Clear the blocks to wealth that I carry inside,
And walk with me always, as my guide.”Place the petition under the candle. Let it burn down safely.
Thank her—and keep her altar clean. When your petition is granted, follow through on your promised offering.
A Note on Ethics and Greed
Santa Muerte is known to grant bold requests—but she will teach lessons about selfishness, greed, or harm. If you’re trying to hoard, steal, or manipulate others, be warned: her justice is swift.
Money is not inherently bad—but it reveals. Make sure you are in right relationship with it. Ask Santa Muerte to help you release scarcity, shame, and guilt around receiving.
Signs She’s Helping
Sometimes money doesn’t come the way you expect. After you petition Santa Muerte, you might notice:
A new job opportunity or interview
Sudden debt forgiveness or support
A client reaches out unexpectedly
An intuitive nudge to take action
Dreams or synchronicities involving coins, skulls, or green/gold symbols
She communicates in subtle and direct ways. Pay attention.
Final Thoughts: Walk with Her, Not Ahead of Her
Money magick with Santa Muerte is not just about getting rich. It’s about remembering your sacred worth in a world that often tries to erase it. It’s about surviving with dignity, honoring your ancestors, and building a life where your needs are met without shame.
Walk with her. Talk to her. Thank her every time the lights stay on, the rent is paid, or groceries appear when you’re unsure how they would.
In return, she will walk with you—forever.
