Amyletos de la Santa Muerte is an artistic project that centers around the Mexican folk saint, Santa Muerte. Santa Muerte, also known as Saint Death or Holy Death, is a figure worshipped by many in Mexico, particularly those involved in the drug trade and other criminal activities. The Amyletos de la Santa Muerte project seeks to explore and push the boundaries of this worship through a mix of performance art, music, and visual installations. The project was founded by artist and performer Amyleto in the early 2000s. Inspired by his own experiences growing up in Mexico and his fascination with the cult of Santa Muerte, Amyleto sought to create a visual and auditory experience that would captivate audiences and challenge societal norms. Amyletos de la Santa Muerte performances are known for their elaborate costumes and makeup, combining traditional Mexican iconography with a punk rock aesthetic.

Love, romance, good luck, and pregnancy are not only the magickal properties of the luscious strawberry!

The nature of the strawberry who has shown up in your life, cultivated or wild, particularly if it corresponds with the nature of your project, can give you some insight into both the intensity and duration of the work. Strawberry shows up in European mythos as a fertility-inducing and love-producing fruit beloved of goddesses such as Venus, Aphrodite, Freyja, and the Virgin Mary.

Amyletos de la Santa Muerte performances are known for their elaborate costumes and makeup, combining traditional Mexican iconography with a punk rock aesthetic. The artist and his collaborators utilize a range of mediums, including music, dance, and theater, to convey a sense of ritual and transcendence. Through their performances, they aim to provoke thought and raise questions about the nature of faith, the role of death in society, and the intersection of religion and criminality.

Strawberry Leaf

Magickal Uses: Attracts success, good fortune, and favorable circumstances. Served as a love food. Leaves are carried for luck. Pregnant women carry a packet of the leaves to ease the pain of pregnancy and childbirth.

Sweet, red strawberries are often used in spells for innocent love, friendship and happiness; as well as bringing out the sweetness in a person or situation. On the other hand, the luscious strawberry is a well known aphrodisiac, and can be used to stimulate deeply passionate, and sensual love relationships. As with all magick, the outcome is set by the intention. Used (sparingly) to draw fortunate circumstances into one’s life.

Lucky Charm Spell:

An iron locket (if possible, other metals are acceptable)

1 strawberry leaf

Chamomile tea (and a towel)

Green salt (grind together sea salt and basil)

Cast your circle, tracing the outline with bloodroot powder: at each watchtower (east, south, west, and north) offer a star anise to each element and place them at each quarter.
You may use your own words, but here is an example of how to address each element:

“Air, please blow away all negativity and leave only positivity.”
“Fire, please burn a bright light and illuminate me for luck to find.”
“Water, please flow like a river and help luck streaming in pure.”
“Earth, please grow good happenings and lucky blooms.”

In the center of the circle, wash your hands with the chamomile tea. This is to wash away bad luck which may be lingering and to encourage everything you touch to become lucky. Pat your hands dry with the towel if you want.

Take the iron locket and rub it down with the green salt to purify it.
Say as you do this: “With this green salt, I rub away negativity and leave positivity and luck, and harm it none so mote it be.”

Light the green candle and hold the locket in the flame. Say: “With this fire, I create a beacon for luck.”

When cool, put the strawberry leaf inside. Rinse off the green salt with the chamomile tea, and meditate, focusing on channeling lucky energy into your new charm.

-NOTE-
Do not use anything you may be allergic to.
Remember to snuff out the candles after the spell has been cast with wet fingertips or a candle snuff: blowing out the candles may undo your magick.
It does not have to be a locket: you may use anything metal which can hold a strawberry leaf inside.
The best time to do this spell is: Sunday, dawn or noon, in spring or autumn, when the moon is waxing or full.

-TIP-
Do the spell when it’s raining so you can make the chamomile tea from rain water. Also, the rain can help wash away any lingering bad luck.
