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.
