#24 Samhain Episode: On Dying, Death, and Necromancy in our Witchcraft

In this special Samhain episode, I talk about end-of-life and the after-life from a very human perspective, honoring the dead and the details of my family’s ancestor feast, also known as a “dumb supper”, and calling upon the dead to assist us in our witchcraft. This is a lot of information packed into about 17 minutes!

I reference several books that you may want to check out:

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande

From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty

The Sacred Herbs of Samhain: Plants to Contact the Spirits of the Dead by Ellen Evert Hopman

The Bones Fall in a Spiral: A Necromantic Primer by Mortellus
