What is anima sola?

Anima Sola, which translates to "lonely soul" in English, is a popular folk saint in Latin American and Catholic cultures. She is typically depicted as a female figure bound in chains, surrounded by flames or holding a cup of flames.

Anima Sola is often petitioned for help in situations where one feels isolated, abandoned, or trapped in despair. She is seen as a powerful ally for those who are experiencing suffering, loneliness, or difficult circumstances. Followers may light candles, offer prayers, and make offerings to Anima Sola in exchange for her protection and assistance.

In some traditions, Anima Sola is also associated with revenge and justice, as she is believed to have the power to bring retribution to those who have wronged others. Despite this association, many people still turn to her for help in times of need, seeking her comfort and strength during challenging times.
