Magical evocation and veneration of the saints has been used for centuries. They are venerated and called upon in many practices from Hinduism to curanderismo. They have been petitioned for everything from protection from enemies to finding love and are also considered patrons over various occupations and trades. They also have come to have a certain amount of rulership over specific areas of life’s problems. Honoring them appropriately when making your request is an important part of the work. It’s also important to make the appropriate offerings of gratitude once your request has been granted. (Only a thief would expect something for nothing).
In this class we will talk about the many ways you can dig deeper into the history of these individuals who once walked the earth and in doing so you can work with them much like your own ancestors-removing the Christian overlay and opening new potential to magical work. We’ll talk about some of the most common saint petitions as well as some that might surprise you! You will also learn some of the methods of petition, the appropriate color candles, dressings and of course offerings.

Lisa Martinez is a board-certified Doctor of Natural Medicine who walks the traditional healing and spiritual path of Curanderismo. This path can be described as a multifaceted blend of healing practices from the past and present that include indigenous folk medicine modalities from Mesoamerica to Africa and it strongly influenced by Spanish Spiritualism and Judaism. Her family roots are from Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado where curanderismo was and still is an enriching and common way of life. Lisa’s grandmothers were her biggest influences providing her a lifelong apprenticeship. These teachings lead to the development of sacred connections with plants, stones and spiritual practices that are used to help others in their journey to emotional, mental, physical and spiritual healing.

Private sessions with Lisa are holistic and intuitive in nature and are personalized to include the body-mind-spirit connection in conjunction with the cosmic energies, ancestors, santos, angels, and guides. Her therapies and modalities utilize a variety of traditional techniques such as platica (heart to heart conversation), body work, sacred plants, aromatherapy, dream analysis and use of obsidian to encourage and engage the body’s innate healing response. Her practice also includes limpias (spiritual cleansings) and end of life transitions.

Lisa is a registered Psychotherapist with the State of Colorado. She is a student of La Maestra Clarissa Pinkola Estés and has attended many years of her trainings via the Archetypal and Cross Cultural Studies Institute. She is also a participant of The International Collaboration of Indigenous Healers, Curanderos, Sanadores y Shamans which originated in the sacred mountains of the Tepoztlan Valley in Mexico.

When able, Lisa supports clinical sites and community outreach operations in collaboration with others in the Denver Metro area providing culturally based services and education. You can follow Lisa on Instagram @Itzpapalotl74
