Ep. 195: Secrets of Santa Muerte


Listen Later

In this evocative episode of Ultraculture With Jason Louv, we delve into the enigmatic world of Santa Muerte – the saint of death who also embodies life. Our guest, Dr. Cressida Stone, an accomplished anthropologist with a profound connection to the spiritual and the esoteric, unravels the layers of mystery surrounding Santa Muerte, a figure revered by millions yet often misunderstood.

Dr. Stone, armed with insights from her groundbreaking book and years of fieldwork in Oaxaca, Mexico, guides us through the syncretic origins and the vibrant, non-dualistic tradition of Santa Muerte worship. From ancient death deities of the Aztec and Maya to the figure's clandestine growth in the shadow of Catholic condemnation, Santa Muerte emerges as a beacon for those seeking protection, love, and justice, transcending the boundaries of conventional religion and morality.

As we navigate stories of personal transformation, magical practices, and the profound lessons learned in the presence of Santa Muerte, Dr. Stone challenges us to reconsider our relationship with death, urging us to embrace it not as an end but as an integral part of life's rich tapestry. This episode is not just a journey into the heart of a burgeoning spiritual movement; it's an invitation to explore the very essence of existence, where death and life intertwine in a dance as old as time itself.

Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of Santa Muerte, where ancient wisdom meets modern devotion, and discover how this revered figure continues to shape lives, offering solace, guidance, and a deep, enduring connection to the mysteries that lie beyond the veil.
