Santa Muerte has the ability to grant any miracle, no matter if it´s bad or good. Unlike saints who are often specialized in some category, the Santa Muerte has no specialization. It has both the ability to do good and to harm others. A central element in the aspirations of believers is to get protection and shelter, as opposed to the notion of abandonment or insecurity (Huffschmid, 2016). THREE. Although she does not differentiate and receives anyone who approaches her, her favorite ones are those on the margins of society: homosexuals, prostitutes, drug dealers, transsexuals, people who are in prison, slum dwellers, etc. FOUR. To be "accepted" by the Santa Muerte, you must not fear her (being afraid of her can hurt her feelings) and must "adopt" her as a family member; that is, to have the figure at home, usually in a room. Once inside, everybody should refer to her as a mother, daughter, sister or godmother. "The thing is to treat the image as another family member and be around her without fear or disrespect. The Most Holy has a sad and painful work, so she expects to be treated with joy and affection, something which is very normal to the Mexican personality. When a person is informed about the cult, the first thing is (...) she must recant if she has any fear. The Santa Muerte must be treated as a real person, so it´s very common (...) to talk to the image aloud or drink next to the altars "(Santa Muerte Indeleble, 2016).However, the most common form of offerings are candles, which are sold in several colors. Their meaning is supposedly well established, but no two sources agree. One interpretation says that offering a black candle means the desire to hurt someone or seeking revenge; some drug traffickers will light a black candle to ask for a safe passage across the border with a cargo of drugs, knowing that they can´t request that favor from any Catholic saint (Chestnut, 2012). Red candles are for the submission of a loved one, yellow candles to ask for money or employment, green for family matters or assistance in legal cases, white for protection and rainbow candles for all of the above.
