La Santa Muerte ― Unearthing the Magic & Mysticism of Death

This is the first book written by a practitioner that presents the history, culture, and practical magic of La Santa Muerte to the English-speaking world. As the patron saint of lost causes, the LGBT community, addicts, and anyone who has been marginalized by society, La Santa Muerte has a following of millions—and she’s only becoming more popular. Join author Tomás Prower as he gives step-by-step instructions for spells, magic, and prayers for practical results and long-term goals, including money, love, sex, healing, legal issues, protection, and more. La Santa Muerte also includes detailed information on:

Her Names • Tools • Altars • Offerings • Spells • Prayers • Rituals • History • Myths • Symbols • Meditations • Ethics • Colors • Correspondences

Praise:
"Tomás Prower takes those curious to know more about the spirit of death taking shape as La Santa Muerte on a deep ride through history, tradition, folklore and first hand experience. He deftly balances the aspects of practical folk magick . . . with the deeper mystery tradition of her cult involved in facing the reality of death directly. A wonderful education in a figure that is fairly unknown and misunderstood."—Christopher Penczak, co-founder of the Temple of Witchcraft

Tomas Prower is a graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara. He holds two degrees, one in Global Studies and the other in Latin American & Iberian Studies. A natural-born globe trekker, he sought additional education at the Universidad de Chile while working as a translator for their literature department. Due to his fluency in English, French, and Spanish, he was given the opportunity to become a cultural liaison for the French Government in South America between France, the United States, and the member states of Mercosur. During this time, he traveled extensively in the Amazon Jungle, learning as much as he could about the region’s indigenous peoples.

Upon returning to the United States, Tomas worked as a bartender at a well-known gay bar in Los Angeles before moving to Reno and becoming the External Relations Director for the American Red Cross in Nevada. He then moved back to his home city of Los Angeles where he worked for a time as a mortician while writing and researching the city’s LGBT+ scenes and macabre subcultures. Nowadays, he resides in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, where he can be found hiking in the desert, interacting with tourists from all over the world, and writing new books by the glow of Sin City’s neon lights.
