Mortellus https://www.instagram.com/acrowandthedead/?hl=en joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to discuss their recent book, Necrobotany, and explore some intersections between working with plants and working with the dead. Myths surrounding the term, necromancy, are dispelled as we look into how aspersion was cast on such work in the past. Mortellus shares about ways of honoring the death which surrounds us and which makes life possible. Also explored are the histories of items such as the Ouija Board and the game, Monopoly, as well as the chaste origins of the Graham Cracker.
During an episode within the episode, poet and host of the Brutal Wisconsin podcast, CJ Lane https://www.facebook.com/people/CJ-Lane-Poetry/100091730372484/ shares about his poetry project, Caught One Glimpse, which was created with a process using the cut-up method and the Greek Magical Papyri. Language and name magic are discussed, and Mothman also makes an appearance! Luxa shares listener mail, including a discussion about accelerationism and chaos magic and a supporter/listener bibliomancy break. There’s also an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ ; and Void House- creating a consent forward magical space for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent and providing consent education to magically inclined people. Much Love!
