The Great Secret of Holy Death

The tablecloth may be changed depending on the colour needed for the requests; thus boosting the attraction of the right energy for each request.

Once you have the place to put your altar, make a box. This box should be a bit smaller than the altar and made of wood, iron, clay, metal or any other product of plant origin. The Holy Death will be placed on top of this box, at our own height or even at a higher position as a clear manifestation of respect. Line the box with a piece of fabric or velvet, – red on the inside and black on the outside-, and add a padlock or a small lock to it. This box will be called the depository. The objects of power that will serve as a guide to the celestial spirits towards the altar will be kept inside this box and the person in charge of the altar will guard its key.

It is recommended to keep in this box the bones of nocturnal animals or –in your case- memories of a deceased person, soil from the cemetery, ashes, or soil from archaeological places with great energy from our pre-Hispanic ancestors.

Quartz, magnets and other crystals should also be stored in this box.

When ready, wrap all these things up in a purple cloth –preferably-, and tie them with a thin black or purple ribbon. Then, put this package inside the depository and cover it with a black cloth.

Finally, place the Most Holy Death on top of the box and put candles on each side, together with the flowers and the incense. It is suggested to also put a clay plate, an ashtray and a crystal glass, which are the exclusive utensils of the Most Holy Death.

Tuesday is the most auspicious day to put up and consecrate this altar. It is perfect to do this in the mornings since the Holy Death has just woken up, she is very strong and has an entrepreneurial energy, and she loves challenges; in the evenings, she is in the fullness of her power, and at nights, the energy of the hidden forces manifest. To set up the altar, the person must be calmed and relaxed, without haste or worries because he or she must dedicate himself or herself in body and soul to the Holy Death.

As for the image of the Most Holy, you may choose any figure you like. They are usually made of clay, resin, fibreglass or papier-m?chе with the different symbols that I mentioned before.

You must decide whether you want a full-body image, an image sitting down, or on a throne, etc. and also which colour you want depending on your spiritual needs. You can also put several saints, dedicated to special works and can place them with their own offerings. It is preferable that you choose an image that gives you confidence, faith and devotion.

You can also choose a printed image or a picture of the Holy Death, if you have no space. You should also choose the one that inspires you the most, and gives you confidence, faith and devotion. The way the Holy Death is represented does not matter, since she is in all her different forms.

The advantage of choosing a picture or an image is that you can carry it around, and take it and put it anywhere.

To continue the altar must be consecrated.

This must be done by someone who knows and manages energies in the mortuary theme, and everybody should choose the person they trust the most. However, if it is your own altar and you do it yourself, you can ask for it with a lot of faith, since you will be the one who will attend it and worship it. For this, you will have to clean yourself first and then clean the altar. Before doing any ritual, it is very important that you do this: you must wash yourself and purify your body, soul and spirit. You must take a hot bath to open the pores to help you to receive the energies you are about to generate.

Then, you have to dress in white and while you are getting dressed you must pray:

Oh! Lord, forgive me I beseech you,

I have had mistakes, but I regret,

I ask for your forgiveness, for all the evils

that I have consciously and unconsciously caused,

I offer you good behaviour,

since the forces that I invoke are in good faith

and I do not intend to do any harm,

but I do it because I think

in the happiness of this person and mine,

if You decide otherwise, I accept it.

Pray 3 Lord’s Prayers and 3 Hail Marys.

Cleansing Ritual

This must be done before doing any other ritual, since the environment must be clean from energies to invoke the Holy Death.

Ingredients:

– 1 mortar to mix everything

– 1 white candle

– cleaning mix (as a granular mixture): one part of incense, one part of myrrh, one part of rue, one part of lavender, a pinch of chilli powder

– 1 censer to put the mixture

– 1 glass with salt and water

To begin with, you must wash yourself as I said before, because it is essential that the environment is clean and cleanliness is done on the physical plane.

Use the mortar to mix the cleaning mixture, enough to perfume and purify the environment you want to clean. When you are ready to start, light the candle and relax, visualise the negative energy leaving your body and see how you are washing yourself. Let the candle burn to the end and throw what is left (even if it has not been completely burnt out).

It is important that when you have finished cleaning yourself in the inside, you visualise that all this negative energy burns and disappears.

Bless the water, salt and incense (you may also use holy water), and add a pinch of salt to the water. Then, go around the corners of all the rooms in the house with the censer. Stop at every corner and let some smoke out. Visualise a light that expands and starts to wrap the whole house.

Stop at each door and each window, doing the same thing and saying the following: I bless this… (door, window, room, house).

When you finish, take the glass with salt and water and walk around the house making a cross with the glass on all the walls of the house. Finally, go back to the place where you want to put the altar and mentally check if there was any place or dark space in which there could be negativity or you noticed it somewhere.

Cleansing the Altar

To carry out the spiritual cleansing you must do a rite and a petition to the Most Holy Death. These are the ingredients you need:

Ingredients:

– incense (any you like)

– liquors: spirits, mescal, tequila etc.

– 3 white candles

– flowers and vases

– 1 cigarette or cigar

– wooden matches

Use any flowers you can buy: if possible, it is better that someone gives them to you or that you cut them from your own flowerpots.

First, take a sip of the drink you have chosen. Then, take another sip and spray the drink that is in your mouth all over your site of worship. It is important that you only spread the contents of one sip, and make sure that the altar is in a well-ventilated place and without any flame lit to avoid accidents. Then, pray 3 Lord’s Prayers and 3 Hail Marys.
