In this talk, Ed Calderon explores the origins, history, and evolving role of Santa Muerte, the folk saint revered by millions yet often misunderstood and feared. Drawing from years of firsthand experience and research, he delves into the cultural, spiritual, and criminal intersections of this powerful figure, examining how devotion to Santa Muerte reflects resilience, justice, and survival among marginalized communities.
Through stories, symbolism, and practical insights, Ed unpacks the complex relationship between faith and hardship, shedding light on the people who turn to Santa Muerte for protection, guidance, and strength in uncertain worlds. Whether viewed as a saint, a protector, or an outlaw icon, Santa Muerte remains a force that challenges conventional narratives.
This presentation is for those seeking to understand the reality behind the myth, from its roots in indigenous and Catholic traditions to its role in modern spirituality, activism, and underground culture.
