SAINT MARTHA THE DOMINATOR
Santa Marta La Dominadora,
haz que la culebra no decienda ahora.
Salve La Morocha,Salve La Morena, Dios Salve a la Morocha, Dios Salve a la Morena, Santa Marta la Dominadora.
Saint Martha th Dominator,
do not allow the serpent to desend apon me now.
All Hail the brunette. All Hail, the brown skinned one.
God Save the brunette, God Save the brown skinned one,
Santa Martha the Dominatrix.
Santa
Marta la Dominadora is a complicated Loa, a Misterio that pertains to
various Nations of Loa. She is a Ghuede or Ghuedesa, as she works
closely within the Cemetery, protects sacred burial grounds and ushers
the Spirits of the Dead, she is a Metresa, which are female Loases that
govern over human emotions such as Love, desire and passion, she is a
Rada Loa as ancient as time immortal, but in the new world she is a
Petro Loa, because of her fierce and fiery nature, and lastly she works
with the Simbi Loa family, which are the spirits of ancient life and are
symbolized as serpent Spirits that pertain to the first cells that
created life on earth and govern over sorcery and magic. Santa Marta la
Dominadora or Saint Martha the Dominator as she is known in English is
an unpredictable Loa that is known as a Saint, a Sorceress, a witch, a
healer and even a Demon. She is like the serpent that embodies her
essence, when left alone she can be a docile and beautiful creature, but
tampered or disrespected she can be dangerous and deadly. She is as
the Simbi loa, such as Gran Simbi, Simbi D'l'eau, Dambalah, Oshumare,
and Ayida Wedo, because she slithers like a snake, and does not
communicate through her voice, but telepathically, and the sounds she
does make are the hisses of serpents and snakes. Her eyes are said to
be so piercing and so dominating, that even the most powerful Demons
from hell would freeze and cower back.
There
is a Spanish proverb that says. 'Con los Santos no se Juega!". "With
the Saints, one should not Play!". If this is to be true of any Saint,
then with no other would it apply to as much as it would with Santa
Marta la Dominadora. To play or "work" Santa Marta la Dominadora with
no proper knowledge or complete reverence is like playing alone in a
dessert with a rattle snake. My advice, do not disturb La Culebra "the
snake' because quite frankly it is not as easy as most people think.
As Santa Marta la Dominadora is a powerful Sorceress many people
petition her in magic often to dominate others, love magic, or
controlling others. As she is powerful, often times she gives that
which we ask, but with a high price. She slithers, drags and unleashes
her wanga and bilongo magic, but it comes as a double edged sword, at
any moment it can come back and strike you dead, or take away that which
you value the most. When it comes to Santa Marta La Dominadora, the
saying, "be careful what you wish for" is of great importance.
As
the Petro.Loa are fierce, imagine adding Guede, and Simbi into the
recipe and one will get a Loa that is as unpredictable and as
complicated as they come. She is like the Medusa of Greek mythology,
beautiful to look at her reflection, but one glance into her fiery red
eyes would transform even the Sun itself into a cold piece of stone.
Although she is a Petro Loa she is also considered a Rada Loa, and as
the Petro Loases, when angered or disrespected the Rada can harbor and
unleash a fury that rivals that of any Petro Loa.
As
a Sancista it is my responsibility to inform you that many experienced
individuals invoke Santa Marta La Dominadora for black magic, sorcery,
enchantments, evil intentions and unleashing evil spirits or demons on
rivals. Again this reminds me of a Spanish proverb, Uno no puede tapar
el cielo con solo un dedo. (One can not cover up the sky with one
finger, or burying your head in the sand /ignoring the gravity of a
situation, or wilfully ignore something.). Often these very individuals
who work Santa Marta la Dominadora for these wicked intentions pay the
high price, often illnesses reach them, early deaths fall upon their
loved ones, they become mentally unstable, and paranoid. It is in this
aspect that Santa Marta la Dominadora becomes like the ancient Ouroboros
or Uroborus, the serpent or dragon that eats its own tail, until
nothing, not even a carcass is left. It is my responsibility to advice
in not using any Saint, Loa, or Orisha for personal gain, dominating or
sorcery, especially Santa Marta la Dominadora. One should invoke her
for protection from evil spirits and demons, or healing over black
magic, protection or dominating occult enemies who only wish you harm,
but again one must be very careful, and with good intentions. One can
also invoke or venerate her for peace of the home, peace with family
members, and within work and healing the damages caused by black magic.
What is the point of getting even on an enemy, when all they desire is
your misery. Petition her for strength, endurance, and stability, no
vengeance is sweeter than that of knowing that your enemies have no
power or control over you. Even this will enrage the strongest
sorcerer and have him/her doubt his/her own abilities, it is through
this that we should petition Santa Martha la Dominadora. In dominating
our very own inner demons, greed, desires, trials and tribulations.
Many
individuals who often work or petition Santa Marta la Dominadora have
no idea who she is or what she represents. They have no clue of her
history, her origin or if in fact this Saint, as is with any Saint,
makes up a part of ones Cuadro Espiritual. Many who petition her
especially those outside of Dominican 21 Division, Puerto Rican Sanse or
Haitian Vodou, do not know how she would act in sacred ceremonies, and
still often those who do not understand her completely would confuse her
for a tortured soul, earth bound spirit,intranquil spirit or demon, if
in fact she even would make her pressense known. Since in fact she only
works with her Servidores, because she as all Loa have little patience
for games. Often Santa Marta la Dominadora who is a fiery spirit will
often scare the living hell out of those who do not know her or have a
history with her. Many people outside of those religions and traditions
that properly respect and honor her, go to the internet, as you are
reading this one now, and believe themselves to be experts of the
Mysteries. This is far from the truth, because not even we who are the
Servidores de los Misterios know the Mysteries completely, hence the
word Mysteries.
(Definition of Mystries : a
religious truth that one can know only by revelation and cannot fully
understand. A secret religious rite believed to impart enduring bliss
to the initiate: a cult devoted to such rites: something not understood
or beyond understanding: a private secret : the secret or specialized
practices or ritual peculiar to an occupation or a body of people:
profound, inexplicable, or secretive quality or character.)
These
very individuals read the prayers, light the candles, and even set up
altars in ways that are not respectable, not just to Santa Marta la
Dominadora, but to any Spirit, Loa, Misterio or Orisha or the religions
that practice them. Many say, that the Loas or Orisha work for them,
that they do not need to follow the traditions that have honored them
with great respect. I say yes, they often do listen, but darkness is a
thresh hold that can so easily be crossed, and it is at this very thresh
hold that the furies of these ancient spirits await. Often time the
Misteries do comply, but again often times these individuals forget to
give thanks, and agknowledge properly that which the Loa have given, and
it is at these times when bitterness, tribulations and greater losses
arise.
