@true_spirnit: Nuestra Señora De La Santa Muerte, or Our Lady Of Holy Death, is a folk saint within Mexican Catholicism and neopaganism. However, she is condemned by the Catholic Church. She is death personified. Although the media portays followers as Cartel members, which is true to an extent. Mexican civilians also follow her for guidance, favors, healing, and protection. Anthropologist Kate Kingsbury speculates that her origin is a blend of indigenous death deities with the grim reaper when Spain introduced Catholicism during the colonial era. #educational #santamuerte #paganism #catholicism #neopaganism #neopaganismo #History #mexico #mexicohistory
