Ethics and devotional safety
Prayer is not a replacement for a doctor, a lawyer, or a locked door.
The body
If someone is in danger, call the people whose job is the body. Light a candle after, not instead. A novena does not set a broken bone. A petition does not stop a fist.
Consent
Do not post another adult’s private medical or legal story. Do not pray people back into a house they fled. Do not ask the White Mantle to bind a lover. That work is refused here.
Money and fear
Anyone who tells you Santa Muerte will ruin you unless you pay them is running a hustle.
Fire and rooms
Never leave a flame unattended. Glass votives crack. Pets knock tables. If you cannot keep fire, keep water and a word. See Altar care.
The reciprocal cut
If you come to the black robe out of spite, this house still will not help you name a target. Read La Niña Negra for the teaching, not for a working.
