In the world of folk witchcraft and conjure, few saints command as much respect and fiery devotion as St. Martha the Dominator. She’s not just a figure from biblical lore, she is a powerful working spirit who walks with the witches, cunningfolk, and conjure women who dare to call on her name. Whether you're dealing with injustice, control issues, toxic lovers, enemies, or simply need to take command of a situation - St. Martha comes through swinging. She brings results. But she’s not a saint to approach lightly. She’s what charmers call a “Hot Saint”. A no-nonsense force who expects respect, consistency, and payment once she moves on your behalf.
Who is St. Martha?
Biblically, St. Martha is known as the sister of Mary and Lazarus. The same Lazarus whom Jesus raised from the dead. She’s remembered for her strong faith and practicality, famously declaring her belief in Jesus’ power even as her brother lay dead. But in the world of folk Catholicism and traditional witchcraft, Martha steps into a new role: a dragon-tamer, a serpent-dominator, a force of spiritual control. In images and statues, she’s often shown with a dragon under her foot and a torch or holy water in hand. These symbols reflect her power to subdue, dominate, and command. Not just beasts, but situations, people, and spirits.
Why Witches & Charmers Call On Her
St. Martha is especially beloved by:
- Women in difficult relationships who need to control or calm a chaotic lover.
- Those facing injustice, especially in legal or work settings.
- Folks in financial crisis seeking favor, clients, or domination over competition.
- Spiritual workers looking for powerful allies in enemy removal or spiritual battles.
She walks closely with those who are determined to overcome. If you’re ready to get serious and see results in your work, she may answer your call.
How to Work with St. Martha
The most traditional way to begin working with St. Martha is through her Nine Tuesdays Novena. This novena (a series of devotional prayers for nine consecutive Tuesdays) helps you open a spiritual relationship with her. It’s not just about asking for help, it’s about building a connection. You’ll also want to offer her traditional items like:
- Green candles (for money, justice, and domination)
- Dragon’s blood, cinnamon, or hot peppers (to fire up her energy)
- Coffee, cigars, or white flowers
- A glass of cool water (to balance her heat)
As you work with her, speak plainly and respectfully. She’s not offended by strong emotions - she’s a dominator. But once your petition is granted, be sure to pay her back with promised offerings, candlelight, or public praise.
What She Helps With
Here are just a few areas where St. Martha shines:
- Love domination & relationship repair
- ⚖Justice, legal work & enemy domination

A Word of Caution
As a Hot Saint, St. Martha doesn’t play. You must keep your promises. She appreciates discipline and devotion. If you say you’ll light a candle every Tuesday, do it. If you offer a novena, finish it. If you promise her coffee and cigars, bring them. She’s not a saint to summon and ignore. If she shows up, she expects your follow-through.
Final Thoughts
