No need to worship some recent fusion of xianity and Aztec religion when you can worship real, powerful Dark Goddesses who control fate, deliver justice and protect us.
Whatever you believe Santa Muerte has done for you, our Goddesses who predate her by thousands of years can do a million-fold and will exist long after that thoughtform has dissipated into the void.
This Goddess may be another name for Kali or Nemesis or Nyx. I’m not sure personally who.
Like what happened to the Gods through the Goetia and other transformations through xianity,this Goddess was turned into a “saint”.
There may he nothing wrong with venerating Santa Muerte the Goddess she is based on may answer your prayers anyway.
Perhaps though you may find it more fulfilling for your tradition to research the Goddess Santa Muerte comes from and venerate the Goddess in her proper image. Although the Goddesses and Gods take various images.
The image is less important than the entity and force behind it, but the image may skewer the perception.
Santa Muerte isn’t exactly an insulting form like what Astarte was given through the image of “Ashtaroth” in the Goetia. Perhaps there’s nothing wrong in venerating that form as long as you know it’s just one of many forms our Goddesses take, such as Kali in India or Nemesis in Greece.
Now that I researched even further into this, Santa Muerte and the Underworld Aztec Goddess she is based on are most likely different forms of Lady Nephthys.
She is the Goddess of the underworld and consort of Anubis.
You could do a ritual for Lady Nephthys and see if you connect with her in the same way you do with Santa Muerte.
