![]() ![]() I leave some flowers for her as well, and most mornings I make it a habit to leave some offerings and say wassup. Try to make it a space of beauty, zest it up mine has a purple silk sheet beneath the statue, and saint Martha incense. ![]() Marta is basically a snake, and she’s much more comfortable on the ground.Ī basic altar can include a statue of her (can be bought at any botanica that caters to 21 divisions–she’s usually depicted wearing green with two snakes around her and a child in her lap), and items you’d like her to empower or offer. A nook in your bedroom or living room (or even by the house door) would be ideal–as long as it’s on the floor. ![]() ![]() Write down your visions, feelings, and any other significant moments you make have stumbled upon.Ĭreating a space for a spirit in your home is a simple way of staying connected with them and keeping their energy by you. If you’re unsure after observing, ask for clarification. Allow yourself to objectively pay attention, and continue on. Be open to whatever she shows you, and don’t be surprised if the first few things are a little unsettling. If you’re wanting more for answers, ask for the best solution to a situation that is bothering you. If this is your first time, simply ask to learn about her become familiar with her energy. Ask her to come forth, and animate your imagery of her. When you’re comfortable in your setting, see her sitting across from you. See yourself sitting, surrounded by trees and plants, maybe a lake full of pretty fish. Imagine yourself in a dense forest, peaceful and cool. Contrary to popular believe, you don’t have to play Palo music to tune into Marta (although that shit gets me hype odee). Measure your breaths evenly, and feel a column of white light fill you, flooding out of your body. Sit in a comfortable position, preferably cross legged, and sit as still as you can. Tune into your upper chakras and get groovy! Marta is usually depicted wearing purple and green, which are both ultra calming. Green is aligned with the heart chakra, and wearing a dark shade of it is sure to help you feel like an earthy goddess seeing growth. Wear more purple! It’s the color of royalty and divinity, and the main color of the crown chakra. Be specific about the amount of time in which you will do/give whatever you offer, and allow it to manifest. Do more things that scare you and challenge your ego, for that is how you truly begin to blend with the universe…like she has. Dive into that bag of traumas you’ve been letting rot in the corner of your mind. Do something she has been suggesting to you. Spirit guides love knowing they are helping you shirk away harmful habits, bringing you closer to your highesr self. If you’d like to offer something else, offer something more elevation based. Obviously these are things that are mostly very easy to come by you can serve yourself a cup of morning bustelo & give her the grounds. Some material things she likes include coffee grounds, eggshells, rum, and purple flowers. If you ask her for something, like abundance of wealth (which she manifests, QUICKLY), offer something back. When you make a promise to her, like with any spirit, make sure you understand what that entails. She’s funny like that (most spirits are!), but she is also not to be trifled with. I can’t tell you the amount of times she’s told me ways I’m blocking myself, or that I need to clean my room, or has made something fall in my room thus make more of a mess to make me clean now. She can be very quiet, which can lead the inquiring spiritualist to feel like they’re doing wrong. Pleasing her can become one of the simplest of rituals if you allow yourself to get over the intimidating task of speaking to her. She’s extremely gifted with witchcraft, and if ever there’s a need for protection, look no further than her altar. But she’s also the warmhearted friend that will remind you of your worth and check you into remembering who you are. She is the one who will put the heat on your tongue to make you speak up for yourself, or send a nasty wave of karma to those who dare to fuck with you. Santa Marta is an incredible ally to have if you are trying to develop a backbone. She is stealth and silence wrapped in green and purple, and I love her like she was my momma. She is the darkness, the mystery, the unflinching strength of womanhood. Legend has said she protected a child from snakes that were sure to kill him, and made them her companions. She is the wielder of the serpents, and all that is badass. ![]()
