I'm new to this sup-reddit, but I want to ask this question.

Is something simple as just saying her name bring yourself closer to her?

Little bit of a back info: born in a Hispanic Catholic family, my grandma views her as 'bad', and my family(mainly by my grandma and mom, and uncles) tell me to not say her name, I learned about her two years ago. And I felt something. Cut to present day and I tell my father about Santa Muerte and he says it my decision to pray to her, etc.

Also I saw a bird it looked like a owl (know I live south of Texas. Owls are RARE), at the back of it, does that mean anything?

So back to my question is saying her name give Abit of joy to her?
