  1. Greetings:

    First off, I would like to express my appreciation for this site and for the continued research in my Beloved Lady, as well as the updates and the information from the various perspectives about who I affectionately refer to as “Mother”, because She is my Spiritual Mother. You will gradually find many comments and information from me on this site, as I progress through its pages (I just found the site so might take a little time). I have been working with Santisima Muerte for a length of time, and She has always been around me since I was a child. She has always watched over me and protected me from a variety of issues and has been a loving and caring protectress. I know that much of the news that has been spread about Her over the course of the last while has been focused propaganda on the negative associations with Her and on the criminal elements that have come to accept Her, and yes these are factors have helped in forming an opinion about Her, however, if we were to go over the jail systems I am quite aware that we would find many people of Catholic, Protestant, Christian persuasions who have done, what can be seen as evil acts, but we do not condemn those faiths because of there actions; as a matter of fact, the largest religious denomination in the prison system are those of Catholic faiths, second only to those of Protestant beliefs. Yet I do NOT here of the Catholic Church or the Protestant Churches being condemned because of the actions of their followers. It is my opinion that much of what has been produced about Santa Muerte devotion and its “evil” connections to the criminal element is nothing more then propaganda because of the fact that they believe Her devotion is competition. You hear more of the criminals who are devoted to Her and never about the upper-class, the law-abiding citizens and the working classes, who are honest, hardworking individuals, because it is news. The old adage comes into play here: “if it bleeds it leads”.
    The more that I follow the information, the more the reality of its propaganda is coming to clearer view and the fact that it is just that, propaganda. The Catholic faith is also under stress in the Spanish speaking portions of the world, with the invasion of the Pentacostals and their mission to convert, then they are from devotees of Santisima Muerte, because Pentacostals are out for conversion, where Santa Muerte will call Her own and choose who She wishes. She doesn’t always call or make Her presence known because She is seeking your devotion or allegiance; but to make you aware of Her presence, maybe because there is a lesson that you need to learn and nothing else has worked to get your attention. History has shown us that the Christian faith, from the political standpoint, hates competition and cannot sit by, while another religious or spiritual standpoint which brings peace and happiness to its followers, without their opinion being passed down in the form of condemnation. It is sad really! I am not stating this to attack the Catholic Faith, nor any other extension of the Christian Beliefs. I am just stating the reality and the facts, proven by census and can be proven throughout history. I am not calling for any actions against the Church because many of their devotees are in prison or have performed terrible things!

    What I AM saying is: “See the truth behind the veil!” Do not jump on the band wagon just because propaganda has invaded your mind and do not allow yourself to live in fear just because you don’t understand something!

    Peace and Blessings!

      1. Can someone help me?!? I think she is calling me to her. I want to establish a relationship with her and have had dreams and signs. A book I read said I have to see her in meditation in order to work with her, is this true? I’ve been meditating but have yet to see her. I have, however, felt hands on my neck (not in a bad way; more like a comforting hand laid there) what should I do?

    1. La Santisima Muerte will not reject anyone who is sincere, honest and true in their heart.
      Devotion for her must be a life long commitment and She will go above and beyond to help for as long as your intent is to serve for the greater good of Humanity.
      I was once the unfortunate victim of someones Black magic being practiced against me and I can attest that She swiftly came to protect me and my family and got rid of the darkness and evil energies around me and my home.
      Believe me when I say this,
      Trust Her with all your heart as it really is a life long commitment.

    2. I lit some candles last night, said a prayer for protection ect. How do I know she is with me? Does she give a small sign thats she’s hear? Or just guess it work and she’s hear?

      1. You need to make sure that there’s an established relationship with her first. She is not a take and give deity. Always make sure you give her an offering when you’re asking for something and understand her favors are not defined by time. She typically enjoys sacrifices (more) as offerings. Maybe fast for two days for protection, to show that you are devoted and loyal (do not break the fast) Ask her for signs, she loves giving them out. She sent me skulls for two days straight confirming her energy is still connected when I felt a block.

        Ex: When I gave her a food offering, lit her candles and burned her incense immediately after I heard a knock on the wall and her candles continued to point East.

        Another option to see if she’s with you is meditation. I’ve also seen her in meditation. I closed my eyes, went in and saw her behind me with her hand on my shoulder while she held her scythe in her other hand. She was wearing a black robe (I meditated to her at night and hwr black robe) she came to me as I seen.

        Other signs of Santa Muerte is: Owls, Skulls/Grim Reaper. You can start to feel someone around you, paranormal activity increases in your home, and in your dreams, (this includes daydreaming)

        As long as you are sincere, she is ALWAYS connected to you even when you don’t think she is. Have faith in her that your prayer worked. 🙂

I also asked for a sign of this would be working soon bc i was done with the prayers after 9 day and I still had no sign of my love. As soon as I asked, my whole house lost power for a quick second and I received a text 10 minutes later from my love! I have an alter and although the spell called for three candles, I promised to have a candle lit at all times. I offered an Apple, water, and I gave her mini owl figurines. Be positive and love her. Do not use her and forget about her.

  3. I came upon Madrina by what ; for me as a highly skeptical and science oriented person, was purely by random chance. .. I have explored numerous mystical paths throughout my life, and each time I found similar results, empty psycho/drama that in no way fulfilled the goals at hand. ..

    The death goddess archetype has had resonance with me since my teens ( in my 40s now) , beginning with Hel in the Norse pantheon, and much more so Lilith. . I would identify myself as an atheist only due to the disillusionment of my prior attempts to find that “path” I was searching for. .. while on a trip to Juarez Mexico for what became an Ill-fated attempt at marriage with an Argentinian lady, I found myself blindly walking the gritty back alleys of Juarez towards the end of my time there. . I found a Catholic church that I was obsessed with because of its ornate beauty, but it was gated and locked each time I went. .. on a Thursday, a bit past noon, I rounded a corner and saw the church was open… yay!! Opportunity for good pictures! !

    Upon entering the church, I said a very generic prayer for my son that was stillborn as I do with nearly any catholic oriented place of worship, I have zero personal experience with the Catholic Church one on one… my prayers were not born of any remote belief that there is a connection between the living and the dead beyond the memory that resides in the living. .. there are no gods and there are no goddesses in my eyes, after kneeling before any I felt called to, I found emptiness…. as I sat upon the pew and randomly invoked Ella , Madrina, Lilith. . In that order, with no great intent, only passive humility in respect of the dead… it was not fire coming down from Heaven, nor did the damned wail up from Hell… but it was the most transformative moment I have ever encountered through any spiritual route , It was, for lack of a better word, transcendent… holding a steadfastly to my convictions that there is a scientific explanation for everything, my sense of ” reality ” as it were” was shaken to its core. . So , in spite of having stuck my nose into various aspects of western occultism , eastern philosophy, psychology, finally coming to atheistic/humanism. . Kindness for the sake of kindness, human decency, all the warm and fuzzy crap.. that warm and fuzzy is my core , balanced by something else. ..

    After that afternoon in Juarez, what was a simple scholarly curiosity crossed a line into an immersion in the veneration of the Holy Death. ..
    It was and still is a conflict for my psychology to accept the clear and present evidence of Her actions in the mundane world and in my own personal sphere … this shines a spotlight on my elementary understanding of her deeper Mystery. . Knowing how to drive a car is far different than knowing how to design and build a car. .

    I was given the nickname Chivo a number of years ago by a Mexican coworker as an insult, I quickly took it as my own, if you accept the totem animals concept, the American Black Vulture and the Goat would be mine. ..

    Neophyte that I am, I approach Madrina with profound humility with pleading for clarity of vision. .

  4. I have been praying to her for a lot of things during this divorce process. The first day I was praying with my middle son playing on his tablet. I had this feeling of like total peace and quiet calm just come over me. It was the most amazing feeling. I used to believe in God and I never felt that at all. Now every time I pray to her I swear it looks like the smiles on the statues are wider then usual. It’s either that or she really loves the Kahlua spiked cup of coffee along with the shot lol.

  7. I came across la Santa Muerte through synchronicity. I had been contemplating Death in the German existential sense and also looking into my own Irish mythology, The Morrigan, and theorizing that this tripartite Goddess was the orginal Goddess and not just Danu (which She is part of The Morrigan). I followed this path and decided to offer libations and a candle to Santa Muerte, so I had to cycle to the store to get those things. On the way I rolled behind three people going to a local restaurant… one of them wore a black hoody with a golden skull on the back. This is in no way fashionable or common in West Ireland. It had been weeks since I saw this, so I took it as a sign and gleefully laughed my ass off on my way to the store and on my way home.

  8. I’m from West Ireland and I struggle to recall how la Santa Muerte entered my life, but She showed up for me as a long and intense period of reflecting on Death was coming to an end. I consider myself a “Pagan” and see the world primarily through the eyes of Heidegger and Kirkegaard. Although I’m Irish and She is Mexican, I became a devotee with the aim of slowly transforming that relationship into Ireland’s corresponding Goddess. I started a Facebook group for Her in Ireland and I spent a little cash and devoted some space to a shrine today. That’s my experience of Saint Death.

  9. Glad to read all the great experiences on here. I started working with her in Feb 2017. I was 100% faithful, dedicated, & loyal. I believed my favors would be granted because I always had faith & offerings, even with no favors being answered. I had faith especially that my ex was going to return because we have 16 years together & we still loved each other. I noticed things only getting worse after I started with her. I tried to ignore it & kept at it because LOVE conquers ALL…Well I was tricked lol I have been asking Jesus everyday to forgive me for having an idol & believing the idol was more powerful than my creator. I just can’t believe I had these statues, candles, & all these offerings. I feel so much better now, because when I started & things were only getting worse, so was I. I just had to SNAP OUT OF IT. I can totally see how people get caught up. I will never judge. Only God can:) That’s my almost 1 year experience of basically talking to myself & praying to an idol, having my situation only get worse and no other favors EVER being granted. Sorry I’m just being honest on my experience here. Good luck to everyone else in the santisima muerte circle; )

    1. Thank God you opened your eyes because people have forgotten that Death created by God right after Adam and Eve did not obey the simple rules that he had told them. Now I used to believe in her I was 100 % faith with her but unfortunately some leader that I knew was not and is not a great example for teaching a false cult and also la Santa muerte allowed many things to happen and it seemed that when You ask for a favor it like Asking Satan because he wants a favor and he is in command of that and that cult. You feel like a zombie when you believe in la Santa muerte and asks for favor for a favor .i know everything and every little trick and mind playing that la Santa muerte knows Now that I’m trying to pull my husband n other family members it’s always attacking. Does that seem okay because that what demons do . Wait I used to believe in what they said Santa muerte is peaceful and give you everything yeah right that is a false cult that’s offers fake love and fake everything else problem after problems that people really need to open there eyes!!!!GOD is the way and the light .. Now GOD never asks, never judges but he will make sure that you repent for your wrongs . And like it is said in the Bible never play or mess around with the Childrens of god . He sees it all I don’t believe in religion why because at the beginning of the Bible God never mentions anything about religion only doing good and believing in the goods he can offer us but we as humans didn’t and don’t obey !!!!

  14. If you want to work with Santisma Muerte, you have to first ask her if she wants to work with you. You cannot just start offering flowers and tequila. She is not a warm and fuzzy feathery angel or a saint in the traditional sense. She appeals to those who have felt rejected in life, marginalized people who are shunned by the mainstream society for various reasons, because of their sexuality, race, religion, etc. When you feel called to work with her, know that she will show you lessons of death, not literal, but metaphorical, and then you see if you can deal with it. I was dealing with my mortality when I was diagnosed with a chronic illness. I had been thinking of her a little bit before the diagnosis, but then I saw her everywhere outside, in murals, posters, shirts, sweaters and in places I didn’t think I would see her. I asked if I could work with her and waited 3 days. She showed her mischievous side at first by pulling little pranks on me. But soon enough I started to see her influence and protection in my life. When I moved away, I was feeling lonely in a new city and decided to work on a painting outside. A breeze forced a piece of newspaper onto the wet paint, and when i pulled it off, her message of reassurance was revealed. If you neglect her, she might not be so happy. Make sure that you take her seriously. Respect her and don’t take pictures of active works with her. Don’t make her share an altar with others, unless you are putting angels, she doesn’t seem to mind, especially arcangel michael. If you make a skin offering by getting her tattooed to your body, understand that is a lifetime commitment.

  15. So far, things have been great with St. Muerte. I started praying my love and I would move things to the next level. So far, things are getting better. Another thing, while I was going thru my 9 day prayer to her I was stressing about my money situation for the remainder of the month. My bills and car maintenance hit all at once. Well, I called to see how much money I had altogether for my insurance. Had more than I thought and thought I would have to work extra hard to come up with some of the money I needed. Turns out I had what I needed then a little more. I will give her a gift of some sort and say a protection prayer to her every day to be sure she knows I’m there, I am more than grateful for her help and that she did what I asked then some more when I thought I had run into money problems. I wasn’t going to ask for help with that part anyway, it already got handled. I have heard so many mixed things about experiences with her. But looks like she has helped me out so far. I am always grateful for anybody’s help and never want them to see me as a user or needy, which I truly am not. Ppl who have done this to me I have removed them from my life because they proved to be takers. I don’t want to be that person she sees as a taker. The users and takers are the ones she gets angry with and undoes what she did for them and then some more.

  19. Hello all, I have been following Santa Muerte for about 10 years now. Back in 2009 I met my now wife. I use to pass her altar and just stare and remember thinking who is that?
    Which is where my curiosity struck and I started asking my wife 21 questions about Santa Muerte. Lol
    Don’t think my journey has all been positive. I lost my true connection with her for awhile. Which was my wrong doing in so many ways.
    I have struggled with depression, anxiety and M.E for about 9 years but in the last 3 years it has been really bad. I would say I hit rock bottom, started thinking of suicide, shut myself out of the world and locked myself in the darkness. That was till just a few days ago. I was in the middle of one of my attacks and I just remember thinking of Her and I felt like she was trying to connect with me. Once I was alone in the room it full on hit me. “You need me” and instantly I agreed and said I know I need you to in life. Eyes closed I saw Her in all white, peaceful. I can hear her at this point ” I will get you through depression and anxiety and all you are going through, but in return I want something from you” I agreed,and asked what she needed from me. ” For you to 100% believe in me, to not question me, or get mad at me when things don’t go your way. Pray every day, have an altar for me, get me everything I ask for, learn everything about me, for the rest of your life.” Without a hesitation I uncontrollably smiled and agreed. I grabbed a pen, note book and jumped on the internet and just started searching prayers and everything Santa Muerte. Last night I was doing my nightly devotional time with her and I told her I was ready to see her, that she could come to me whenever she was ready.
    Not even 10 minutes later my cat is freaking out by a smell, we don’t smell anything, but I realized where my cat was looking Santa Muerte’s altar. Her tail huge and poofed up… I knew in my heart, and in my soul that it was Santa Muerte. I assured my wife and daughter that it was ok, not be afraid. Her presence became even stronger. I sat at the foot of my bed In front of Her altar taking it all In. At this point I am crying, happiness I felt the most loving, caring, protected, calm, firey feelings. I was overwhelmed by the sense of peace and comfort in everything. I swear to you guys, I believed already but hands down last night cranked up the belief’o’meter to 100%. She is my Queen, my comfort, my protector, mi Madre.
    She has such a personality, that I have never in my life experienced and I feel honored and blessed by her choosing me. I will stand with her beside me for the rest of my life.

    Even though I had done her wrong in the past, she accepted my apologies and forgave me and gave me another chance to honor her. I truely hope that if you have Her on your side, don’t ever take that for granted, life was hell without her. Thank you Santisima 🖤❤️🙏

  21. I became interested in the Santa muerte thru an ex that was in prison and was always praying to her. As I ask my parents lil things about her.. All the had to say was she was a very powerful saint and they did not want to mess with her…I started reading and reading about her for weeks…I was scared and confused…But I took the chance and made her an alter at my apartment. Some friends of mine would not go in my room bse they were scared…but I talked to her everyday. And I never got a sign from her till one day when I promise my kids brand new shoes for school and at that time I was struggling bad…as I drove to the school to get my kids…i cried so much bse I didn’t have the money by to buy them shoes that they needed n I was breaking my promise tI made to them… I was so hurt cause I didn’t know how to tell my kids that I couldn’t keep my promise to them..when I was driving I asked can u rase show me sign that your real and help me keep my promise to my boys. I sat in car and cried some more then I walked I side and sat in the bench to wait for them.. it was about 1am. My phone goes off and it’s a alert from my bank …I had gotten a deposit right there and then at 11 am from some money that was going to take a couple of months for me to get… My banks direct deposit went in early in the morning never at this time…I couldn’t believe my eyes of the amount I had gotten …as I looked up crying I said thank you so much for allowing my to keep my promise.. I see my kids running g to me and hugged me …I got up n said thank you again..now let’s go get them shoes.. I couldn’t believe it.. so I know she is real

  22. I am a Christian , but my baby’s father worships her. The first time I met him I saw her standing next to him , (I have been able to see spirits and entities since I was a little girl) and occasionally when I’m with him I will feel her nearby. He bought me a gold necklace of her and I wear it everyday but mainly because it reminds me of my baby’s dad. Not because I worship her. I don’t worship her but I acknowledge her and I believe she is real. But my god is Jesus Christ .
    However ,me and my baby’s dad don’t live together and last night I woke up and I saw her in my room. I turned on the lights and she was gone.
    I’m wondering why she would be visiting me?
    Can anyone help me understand what’s going on?

    1. I know it’s been a while since you posted this comment. We are all energetic beings. The energy we put out, is the energy we receive. Much like radio antennas attract and receive the same frequency. Like attracts like. You mentioned “bad disagreement”, “bad week”, watch your energy.

      That is my answer to you. Your bad energy will attract bad energy. Good energy is attracted to other good energy. Meanwhile, healing/teacher/medicine energy comes to those who accept this message.

  24. Growing up Catholic in south Texas, I was always aware of Mexican religious tradition even though I am an “Anglo” of mixed Irish/Jewish heritage. So I felt an immediate affinity for La Huesada when I discovered her a few years ago. Also last autumn, I became quite ill and almost died simultaneously losing my father during that terrible period. La Santisima Muerte gave me the strength to endure as well as a profound sense of peace. Now she is one of my favorite saints on whom I can rely. I’m also grateful for her many blessings and continued presence in my life..

    1. Your devotion already began when you gave thought to offering prayers to Her. There is no “one size fits all” way of engaging with La Flaca, for many of us She chooses us, not the other way around. The opinions of others are not of any importance, a relationship and Flaca is a very individualistic experience, and no two devotees have the same experience. Approach Her with humility and love, remember that what you give Her you will receive from Her.. prayers to Her can take on many forms… there are those who would say that an unblessed statue is not useful, but I disagree, in your act of faith by offering Her prayers you are blessing the votive object, be it a statue, a candle, or any other item used for devotional purposes… trust in yourself and listen to your gut feelings… she will guide you accordingly….

  30. She made her presence to me by purchasing a beautiful pendant necklace from a Latino small-business last night. She isn’t necessarily calling me, but wants me to continue— as my other spirit guides have been encouraging me— to continue growing in the wisdom and knowledge that was lost by the conquistadors and Europeans who said our way of living was wrong. That our worship of OUR gods was wrong. That’s when in, 1531 la Virgen de Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin as a means to bridge the loss of our native culture, and give us Mestixs, Latinxs, indigenxs, the will to survive. I feel a very strong connection to what my ancestors felt and lived through hundreds, and thousands of years ago. It’s like I was there when this happened. Women converted to Catholicism as a means to survive as a race that was viewed inferior to the spanish. They wanted as many of us dead as possible.

    Santa Muerte and Guadalupe are sister spirits. While I may not be interested in Guadalupe, this is where Santa Murte comes in. She has always been there— we observed Mictlantecuhtli and his wife Mictecacíhuatl, the gods of Death. Death is not bad, death is just like living. The condemnation of altars, Mexican traditions, the observation of Santa Muerte by the head European churches (Vatican, etc), evangelical white Christians, basically any affiliation with “that energy” will continue to condemn our practices as they have condemned us in 1521+. But things are different now. They cannot hurt us, they can only make noise from their mouth.

    Times are different, and it is OUR time to rise.

    There is much yet to know about the afterlife and spirituality. Thank you for reading.

  34. This year is my first of being a baby devotee, she has sent me signs throughout my life but I never really paid attention. But I was always cautious & felt the need to hold respect whenever I was around her presence/altar, as I always felt strong vibrations, almost intimidating. But It was when I came to her in my whole truth and sincerity when she helped me. Her and God we’re the only ones I believed I could go to. I wasn’t desperate but I knew I really didn’t deserve what I was going through. My ex bf did something horrible to my 6yr old daughter, he & his family tried hiding it & I retaliated since . So they planned to plot on me , destroy me in court make ME look like the bad guy, put me in jail & take my money for the revenge I took upon myself . Let’s just say I’m lucky I’m not in a orange jumpsuit. when in reality it was my ex who was the evil soul. I felt horrible after because I didn’t need to lower myself for this lost soul doing my family harm. I knew who I needed when she came in my dreams as a white cloaked very very tall entity. Just glowing…. I couldn’t see her face but I felt feminine energy coming off. So prior to our Court hearings, I started praying to her daily in all my pure sincerity , offerings daily, I asked to work with her to have justice in my favor and for the judge to see through this lies and deceit he was tying to cover up for himself. She knew my heart, my intentions-she knew the truth. When court day came around it was unbelievable how everything I asked for came to fruition. Even my aunt who is a older devotee, was stunned at the outcome she still doesn’t know I prayed to St Muerte. He couldn’t bring out certain evidence, even had a whole crew of witnesses that was of no help! I went with 1 witness! She made the judge have him look like the clown he is for wasting his time coming for me. scolded him in front of his family for plotting against me & turned down all his requests! I truly believe my Santa Muerte was that judge in physical form- the graying white long hair… the black heavy eyeshadow.. It could’ve taken a very different path if I had not gone to her, but they all left with their mouths wide open. Couldn’t believe it. I have to thank my Niña Blanca for this I went to her for justice and truth. & she delivered. I take care of her every day now, I know with the help of our creator in this realm, she is no doubt my protector here!

  37. I recently, for the first time, dreamed of La Muerte.

    For background: I believe in her and respect her greatly, but never really made the step to worship her or leave her offerings. I have a multicolored statue of her, two of her candles and a snow globe of her that were all my dad’s before he went to prison. He has worshiped her for many years and I respect that, so I try to keep his Santa Muerte items clean and upright in our altar space.

    I don’t think of her often, but recently in my dreams I saw what I think was her in all black, which somewhat scared me for a second, and then the scene changed and I was explaining her to my English teacher while standing at her (La Muerte’s) alter. I saw a bigger statue of her (that I don’t have/never have seen before) and it’s knocked down, so I pick it back up and then she appeared in front of me, but didn’t say anything. After that, I woke up and when I went into the room with her alter in it, one of her candles was knocked down, along with the multicolored statue of her. They were knocked down in exactly the same place that I picked up the dream statue from.

    My guess is that she wanted to be placed back in the right spot on her alter and since she knew I took care of her, she visited me in my dream to get my attention and remind me to tend to her. I’m not sure if there’s a deeper meaning, but what are your thoughts?

  38. I believe San(ta) Muerte is a ruler of the realms. Santa Muerte is St.Anne the mother of the Virgin Mary which originally was the blood of ‘Christ’. Carrying that ‘prophet’ gene into the afterlife and leaving it inside of her bones as she moved on. Blessing whomever may come across them offering protection.

    ‘SM’ is a compost of all religions. Since death has no domain and affects everyone in their life’s. I believe a mixture so far of catholic, sateria, which craft, voodou, Judaism, even from pagan gods from the paethons to Greek and Egyptians. (And yes even scientology can fit as well.)

    Saint Death is beautiful in all aspects of eternal peace. However the evidence showing amongst the fact she needs blood oaths syncs up with the six hand goddessses of Hinduism and Mara the Ukrainian Sheba. As Odins wife when alive, she manages to rule unfathomable kingdoms and her reach impossible to measure. When she passed she speaks through media/scriptures giving you little pieces of information as guidance. It’s up to you to pay attention to the signs.

  40. Altaries del cuerpo…I had got to a point in my life when the thought of my death was the only warmth in my soul. On the eve of my suicide I had randomly watched a documentary on Mexico which featured Santa Muerte.I went to bed nonplussed but mused that I had asked both Heaven and Hell for direction, why not Death?….So I did, plain and simple…..I slept and on waking felt reset. Calm, rational and with a potent sense of intervention….And a need to remunerate this personal miracle. At 49 rears of age and a poco loco life I had no tattoos. On my 50th birthday I sat for six hours having my life saver tattooed the length of my back. I smiled through 5.49 minutes of it[ I`m only poco loco! ] .I have another 4 sessions of 6 hours booked to shade and colour MY alter of flesh…After a life time of silent dogma an answer IS a lifeline. It was and IS mine. Mil gracias jamas serian suficiento.En depto y en agradecimiento,a tu amade hijo.
