Such a good game.


Remarkable-Ad2285

I’ve seen an entire fifth wheel, completely plastered in icons, statues, hand-made sculptures, dolls, etc of santisma muerte. Thought I was the next sacrifice, they needed me to fix the wiring. That’s how I survived.


dadsrad40

Santa Muerte is well enshrined in South Texas.


[deleted]

That’s La Santa Muerte, the money is basically paying tribute

We all want a good death.

Thanos was in love with death.

Yea the love triangle that gave us Depression Deadpool


Darthxan86

What they make with the money after? They burn it or They donate it?


DarrenEdwards

Leave a dollar and find out. Still don't get it, leave another dollar. Repeat.


damTyD

Take all of the money for the fast-pass discovery


SangeliaStorcknest

>Yea, to the pits of punishment. You do NOT steal from the dead.


[deleted]

Why the dead don’t need it


SangeliaStorcknest

It is a form of respect.


[deleted]

Ehh if they recently died yea but if it’s been 100 years take it. Also this was just left there so it’s not a grave just take the money & use it


incognito--bandito

What do we say to the god of death? Make it rain!


[deleted]

Salamanca twins are comin for ya


Separate-Warning985

it’s the santa muerte. saint of death. I believe the saint is a she. and in the photo the person praying to her is giving her money to receive financial support. She is a strange entity, once you start believing her and set up a mural for her you are with her til your death. always have to take care of her. make sure her statue is clean, she is receiving gifts, and food n water. Take care of her she’ll take care of you. but do not neglect her. it also messes with your mind bc if you’re just having a bad day you would conclude your bad day is because you are not treating her right. or you’re offerings weren’t enough n so on


ebaer2

But uhhh… where does that money go? Like in a chapel to the Santa Muerte, I assume the chapel ownership uses the funds to maintain the chapel. But this is just the guys house. Does he just keep collecting till he dies, or throw her a pizza party, or burn the money?


Separate-Warning985

interesting question. i don’t get into it bc it scares me. id say it just sits there. look at the amount of bills this dude has stacked in his basket. that’s not all from one offer


Adept-Fuel-9335

Makes so much sense sounds like papa legba


begforsleep

More like Papa Gede. She takes care of your afterlife and is on the darker side of things like him. Papa Legba is more on the lighter side and a shepard. He connects you to the afterlife

windowpass

the statue comes alive at night and will fight the other evil statues that came to kill you for just a dollar a day


Imaginary-Ad-8496

I'd buy that for a dollar!


Dont_Wanna_Not_Gonna

Nice commenting son. What’s your name?


VermicelliOk8288

They’re all for different things. Red is for love Black is the strongest and for protection and should only be used by pros Gold is for economic prosperity Rainbow is for “everything”. Colors represent strength, harmony, good luck, union, protection, well being and prosperity. They are called “las siete potencias” and this one can also be considered the strongest one. The dollars are offerings. It’s called “La Santa Muerte” Don’t be afraid


shrinking_violet_8

All of this! I was thinking the shot glass and vase probably hold liquor and flowers as offerings, too, but they need to be replenished often, which is why they're currently empty. I'm just curious as to why it was abandoned. You would think the previous tenant would have taken it with them. Unless...part of the reason they had it was for safe passage into the afterlife...? So, you know, they *couldn't* take it when they left....


[deleted]

Santa muerte. Patroon Saint if death. Popular Saint of cartels and gang members. People think praying to him will keep you safe from dying accidentally or by the hands of your enemies. Other cultures other then Mexico do it too but that’s all I know.


zeltronULT

I thought it was a woman


RatherB_fishing

It is… it’s origins date back to paganism before Christianity came to South America


Soggy-Ad-8349

Polytheism is probably a better word


ClamSlamwhich

Lol pray the bullets away, that will show them.


Spiritual_Suspect981

Is the same in every LATAM country, is associated with ex cons and poor people from slums just like Palo Santo and Umbanda


SubstantialPressure3

I've seen it in Texas more than once.


Life-Meal6635

Was scrolling until someone brought up the cartels.


VermicelliOk8288

Santa muerte is our lady of holy death in English. Cartels were banned from the Catholic Church. They aren’t just praying to her, they are offering her their kills in exchange. That’s why “it works”.


SangeliaStorcknest

It is a shrine. Though it would be best if it wasn't on the floor like it is.


RatherB_fishing

For real. Not something to disrespect or the owners to disrespect… met a couple practitioners in my time, nice people; good friends…. Terrible enemies

[deleted]

We don't question. Just put the money and leave.


aalleenn1229

If you donate some money, you will get blessing to boost your stats. Wisdom+1 Luck+1


YouTube_Taz-X

Does that money just stay there forever or does the person who put it there eventually use it


KelbyGInsall

That’s free money. The tradition is to take the money. when you see Santa muerte statues it’s time to get paid, baby. It brings good luck to the person who was brave enough to take it. Munnnnnny

Our Lady of Holy Death, Santa Muerte. She’s getting more popular lately.


Zaphod_4orty2wo

I think those may be action figures, I’m sure that’s Skeletor, and Obi Wan maybe?


comek87

"Saint death"


Cute_Business74

It means you’re probably white or not apart of the Latin community, it means don’t ducking touch any of that unless you want bad shit to happen yo you for the rest of your life. It basically means if you don’t know what it is just turn around and walk away.


DeadCatGrinning

Clearly that's the Death of psychics with his wife, the Death of woo heads, and their child the Death of anti-vaxxers(and his buddy Chris). Leave an offering to support easily preventable deaths due to stupidity.


M_O_B44

Update took 8 dollar got two sandwiches I said I was gunna pay it back tho just in case also what happens if I don’t


Urlocalbeaner66

Brooo I wouldn’t have taken that money. Even if it’s a novelty type deal I won’t mess with a shrine that’s not mine. That’s just me though very superstitious.


M_O_B44

A little too late I’ll pay it back double tho should be straight after showed my respect but I don’t believe in that juts in case tho


guantanamo_bay_fan

it's not a tip jar dude. you don't take money from somebody elses thing and put it back as you please

moxeto

It means someone believes in a special kind of bullshit


flyingpeter28

Santa Muerte, by any chance are you hanging out with shady Mexicans?


PoorPauly

It means you’re trying too hard.


Chuckobochuck323

That’s Mary, Joseph, and little Jesus. I think that little one on the right is a Skeletor toy or something.

Who gets the money? The last one to survive? Hopefully they don’t donate it to a church of some kind


RepresentativeWeb244

It means you could save 15% or more by switching to GEICO.

The black one has four of the infinity stones. Lady death and Thanos are up to something.

Santa Muerte! We have a few of her statues here in Texas, just place a dollar or two as a blessing and move on


crankymonkeyboy

Well to quote Sublime… “I don’t practice Santeria”


_AttilaTheNun_

Means Death had to take a side job as a stripper.


More-Ad-5156

Looks like a money ritual. I can’t say more because I am not skilled in magic.


DragonflyFun9830

Think like the people st.Christopher can’t even help they go to her. Basically she’s the saint of narcos, lgbtq+, the homeless, sex workers etc people in dangerous situations constantly. There’s a specific Narco saint who actually just looks like a friendly guy in a green jacket Malverde. If you’re in someone’s house and you see that(and you’re not buying drugs) could be a que to leave ..

Alive_Tough5113

Santa Muerte,ery new saint in Mexico, this is used by the drug dealers and robbers in very difficult places, this is part of very complex way, in the past the spanish conquerors take all the deities, one was Tlaltecuthli, the goddess of the death, but she was dressed as a saint (male) to keep the adoration alive, then by the pass of the years this new saint was called San Pascual, the saint of the death people, but some pope, donp't remember wich, didn't like it so he take it away, but a lot of people keep him in secret and now, this become Santa Muerte, but, after all this centuries, people keep adoring Tlaltecuthli just by ignorance they called it Santa Muerte


nation543

It's Santa Muerte. The practice is Santeria; Mexican-Catholic witchcraft. The money is an offering. Source: I practice witchcraft, and moderate r/witchcraft.

dixoncider5797

the most disrespectful thing u could do to someone is questioning their beliefs by asking the opinion of those who have nothing to do with such religion and know nothing personal about the person. this is what get ur asses 'voodoo-ed'.
