First of all, hello. Its my first thread here, but i lurk occasionally since when i read the Invisibles some years ago.
I open this thread because i'm interested in La Santa Muerte but can't seem to find much informations about people's experiences with her.
I seem to understand that it's a really demanding entity that requires exclusive worship and work, that its cult is pretty similar to catholicism in spots and that quite a but of mexican brujeria got in there too, but no details. Has anyone got some informations?
Like, how comes that a cult of death gets to more or less freely mix with the Church built by the One that defeated death understood as the "last enemy"? Has she surrendered? Does she now work for the Boss? St. Francis's Sister Death in the canticle of creatures comes to mind.
Also what does her veneration entails? Is it Veneration like that given to Saints or is it actual Worship? If the latter why isn't the mexican church ALL OVER her cultists? |
