The cult of San la Muerte, or Santa Muerte, is a spiritual movement originating in Mexico, where the figure of death embodied by a beautifully dressed skull is adored. The Catholic Church and most other religious orders condemn her as diabolical. His followers, mainly humble people, affirm that he quickly fulfills requests and that he does not discriminate between workers, the poor, or criminals. In this book, you will find its origin, the anthropological framework of the worship of death, the rituals around the figure of the Grim Reaper, and the prayers intended for her to grant the requests. More than 12 million people around the world adore her, and the number continues to grow.
