Rebroadcast from 2015 Episode 139 - This week, we are joined by esoteric researcher and writer David Metcalfe to talk about Mexico's folk saint, Santa Muerte. Santa Muerte (Spanish for Saint Death), is a female folk saint venerated primarily in Mexico and the South western United States. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees.
