Devoted to Death: Why is Santa Muerte the Fastest Growing Religion?

A Livestream Class with Dr. Andrew Chesnut

Sat at 6:45 pm in The Enchanted Parlor

Join the leading expert on Santa Muerte, Dr. Andrew Chesnut, to discover the reasons for the meteoric growth of this New Religious Movement, which has catapulted from just thousands of devotees in 2000 to over 12 million at present. Originating in Mexico during the Spanish colonial era, the fierce female skeleton saint has recently expanded beyond her homeland, claiming millions of devotees across the Americas, Europe, and even into Asia.

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn about the historical development of the Bone Mother in Mexico.
  
• Develop an understanding of how she is venerated.
  
• Appreciate the reasons for her special appeal to women devotees.
  
• Gain an understanding of why, over the past two decades, the Lady of the Shadows has become the fastest-growing NRM on the planet.
  

In less than two decades, devotion to Holy Death has morphed from an exclusively Mexican phenomenon into a global NRM. Whether or not you are a devotee, an understanding of this dynamic new faith of millions is crucial for practitioners of witchcraft, magic, conjure, and alternative spiritualities.
