Saint Martha La Dominadora Prayer Candle

Domination • Command • Strength • Control • Protection • Victory

The Saint Martha La Dominadora 7-Day Prayer Candle is created for devotional and folk-spiritual work honoring Saint Martha the Dominator (Santa Marta la Dominadora), a powerful figure invoked in various Latin American and Caribbean folk traditions for matters involving domination, difficult situations, protection, strength, love, justice, and gaining command over circumstances that seem impossible to control.

Often depicted confidently handling or standing near a serpent, Saint Martha La Dominadora represents courage in the presence of what others fear. Her imagery speaks to mastery, authority, determination, and the ability to remain standing when confronted by powerful opposition.

This candle may be used when you need to take command of your circumstances, strengthen your personal authority, overcome opposition, establish boundaries, or petition for victory in a difficult situation.

Suggested Uses

• Gain control over a difficult situation

• Strengthen personal authority and confidence

• Overcome opposition

• Petition for victory and favorable outcomes

• Establish stronger boundaries

• Gain respect in challenging situations

• Bring chaotic circumstances under control

• Strengthen courage when facing intimidating people

How to Use

1. Prepare Your Petition
Write your full name on a small piece of paper. Beneath your name, clearly describe the situation you need brought under control.

You may write:

“Saint Martha La Dominadora, help me stand in my authority and bring this situation under peaceful and favorable control. May opposition lose its power to prevent my success.”

If another person is involved, you may include their name while clearly stating the behavior or situation you want resolved.

2. Define Your Desired Outcome
Be specific about what gaining control means. Rather than simply asking to dominate another person, consider the actual result you need—respect, cooperation, communication, protection, resolution, compliance with legitimate obligations, or an end to harmful interference.

3. Place Your Petition
Place your petition safely beneath or beside the candle. If you maintain a devotional space for Saint Martha, place the candle according to the customs you have been taught.

4. Light & Pray
Light your candle and speak your petition firmly. Ask Saint Martha for courage, authority, protection, and assistance overcoming the circumstances standing against you.

5. Pray Daily
Return to your candle each day and repeat your petition or prayer. Approach the work with confidence and consistency.

Prayer to Saint Martha La Dominadora

**“Saint Martha La Dominadora, powerful woman of courage and command, I come before you asking for your intercession.

You who stand without fear before what others cannot control, help me stand firmly before the circumstances confronting me.

Where there is chaos, bring order.
Where there is opposition, give me strength.
Where there is intimidation, give me courage.
Where my authority has been ignored, help my voice be heard.

Saint Martha, help me master my fear before I attempt to master anything outside myself.

Give me command over my words.
Give me command over my emotions.
Give me command over my decisions.
Give me command over the road beneath my feet.

Let those who attempt to overpower me recognize that I will not be easily moved.

Let disrespect cease.
Let unnecessary interference cease.
Let confusion settle.
Let stubborn obstacles give way.

Where cooperation is necessary, let cooperation come.
Where respect is required, let respect be shown.
Where boundaries have been crossed, let those boundaries become strong again.

Saint Martha La Dominadora, stand beside me as I face what has frightened, challenged, or resisted me.

As you are shown standing confidently before the serpent, help me face difficult circumstances without surrendering my power.

May I conquer fear before fear conquers me.

May I possess strength without cruelty, authority without foolishness, and confidence without arrogance.

Let my situation be brought under control.

Let my road become clear.

Let opposition lose its ability to rule my life.

Saint Martha La Dominadora, hear my petition and pray for my victory.”
