I think knowing secret names and those types of things are always helpful when working with specific beings and even with Santa Muerte, but you certainly don’t need to know that type of deep knowledge to work with her. She is fair and mysterious, and I think she is more interested in those who are genuine and authentic and those who want to work with her in a heartfelt way.
She is very special to me, and there are a lot of misconceptions about her floating around it seems. I have never worked with her for love related reasons, but I am working with her on clearing my body of trauma and for assistance as I progress on my spiritual path.
