About the author
Sophia DiGregorio writes on the veneration of Santa Muerte, the Mexican folk saint of death. Grimoire of Santa Muerte: Spells and Rituals of Most Holy Death (Winter Tempest Books, 2013) is presented as an introductory manual for devotees, covering the saint's growing following despite condemnation from church and state authorities. Grimoire of Santa Muerte, Vol. 2: Altars, Meditations, Divination and Witchcraft Rituals for Devotees of Most Holy Death continues the project, adding material on altar-building, meditation, and divination practices associated with her cult. Both books describe Santa Muerte devotion as one of the fastest-growing underground spiritual movements in the world and are aimed at practitioners and newcomers seeking practical, ritual-focused instruction rather than an academic or comparative-religion account of the tradition's history.
