Papel picados are also used to assist in one's life journey. It is believed that if someone wanted to improve a relationship, better their crops, or receive assistance in a particular area of their life, they would go to the shaman (someone thought to have contact with the spirits) who would cut a figure into a papel picado themed to the person's specific need, which would help their situation.
