Santa Muerte Prayer for Protection
Most Holy Death, Lady of the night and of the day,
spread your mantle over me and over my loved ones.
May your scythe cut down evil before it reaches me,
may your gaze drive away anyone who wishes me harm,
and may your shadow cover me on dark roads.
Protect my home, my work and my steps.
Do not allow envy, betrayal or accident
to find a place in my life.
For my part, I promise to walk with care
and not to wish on others the harm I do not want for myself.
So be it.
When to say the Santa Muerte prayer for protection
Many devotees say it every morning or on Tuesdays, the day popular tradition associates with Santa Muerte. It is customary to light a white candle with it, a symbol of cleansing and protection.
