'''[[Oriens]]''' is a [[demon]] mentioned in many [[grimoire]]s dealing with [[ritual magic]]. He is most frequently named alongside [[Paimon]], [[Egyn]], and [[Amaymon]] as kings of the cardinal directions. He is the king of the east.
'''[[Santa Muerte]]''' is a female deity and folk [[saint]] in Mexican folk [[Christianity|Catholicism]] and [[Paganism|Neopaganism]]. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Despite condemnation by the Catholic Church, and more recently Evangelical pastors, her cult has become increasingly prominent since the turn of the 21st century.


He appears with a fair and feminine countenance wearing a crown upon his head. He rides upon an elephant with a large number of musical instruments. Sometimes, he appears in the shape of a horse (with multiple heads, variously stated as 100 or five), but once he has been constrained by an invocation, he will take a human shape.
Her present day following was first reported in Mexico by American anthropologists in the 1940s and was an [[occult]] practice until the early 2000s. According to R. Andrew Chesnut, Ph.D. in Latin American history and professor of religious studies, Santa Muerte is at the center of the single fastest-growing new religious movement in the world.


Many abilities are attributed to Oriens such as giving the [[magician]] wealth in the form of silver and gold.
