Podcasts about mortellus

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!

Join us for an unforgettable episode of The Circle Is Podcast as Rachel True and Mat Auryn welcome Mortellus, a lineage third-degree Gardnerian high priestex, mortician, and necromancer known worldwide for their expertise in death care and funerary rites. Mortellus, author of The Bones Fall in a Spiral and the forthcoming Necrobotany, shares their experiences as a mortician who bridges magick with death, offering an intimate look into their lifelong connection with the deceased—an experience rooted in a near-death event during childhood. We dig into the meaning of necromancy in both practical and magical contexts, exploring how working with the dead shapes Mortellus's unique perspective on witchcraft and ritual. Mortellus breaks down Western fears around death and explains how traditions like Wicca are often misunderstood as strictly focused on life, shedding light on how their craft blends ancestral work with death magick in a way that defies stereotypes. The conversation also unearths hidden lore surrounding plants used in death rites, drawing on themes from Necrobotany, where Mortellus explores the use of funerary plants to honor the dead and cultivate transformation in the garden. They also share their perspective on why the dead stay near. Join us as we traverse the worlds of life and death, ritual and magic, and gain rare wisdom from Mortellus on how to embrace death as a natural, transformative force.Mortellus' Links:LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/acrowandthedeadOur Links:Rachel True Website: https://truehearttarot.comMat Auryn Website: https://auryn.netModern Witch Podcast Network: https://modernwitch.comTrue Heart Intuitive Tarot, Guidebook And Deck: https://a.co/d/9ZNyRu1The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings: https://a.co/d/dUBT1bZPsychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick & Manifestation: https://a.co/d/bHelDwUMastering Magick: A Course in Spellcasting for the Psychic Witch: https://amzn.to/3VesGalPisces Witch: Unlock the Magic of Your Sun Sign: https://a.co/d/cGqcG61

And there's a big ol' bonus at the end of the podcast, all about Walter's Balls. Find Mortellus on their website. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/molly-dyer/message

TW: Language, Adult Themes including Death, Abuse, Transphobia SJ learned about Mortellus (they/them) and their work from our friend C. Voidberg at The Eternal Void, but with Jazz and was powerfully drawn to their life's story and work. Feeling a strong pull, SJ asked Mortellus to work on an talisman with help from whoever on the other side was watching out for them. Neither SJ nor Mortellus had any idea what either of them were in for, but none other than Big John (Sara's dad, introduced way back to listeners in Episode 3) is who answered their call. Some serious chaos ensued for poor Mortellus when this Badass showed up to try to boss them around for weeks. While Mortellus humbly downplays their amazing gifts as a Witch, Coven Leader, Necromancer, Mortician, Medium, 3° Gardnerian High Priestex and Author, their wild ride making what SJ calls their "Holy Vomit Magic Amulet" with Big John was a wonderful reminder that some of the most powerful magic is that which is deeply personal to your own healing. Make sure you check out Mortellus' website where you can buy thoughtfully crafted and sustainably harvested magical supplies, including signed copies of their wonderful first book "Do I Have To Wear Black?" Watch for their second book on Necromancy for Llewellyn Worldwide, which they are currently working hard at completing. Join us at Witch With Me Book Club to talk with Mortellus (who made a "buttload" of bonus content for attendees!) about "Do I Have To Wear Black?" through the end of July!

TW: LANGUAGE, ADULT/SEXUAL THEMES Since author, High Priestex and Necromancer Mortellus is an actual professional™ and Two Witches Pod are serious about helping them changing all of our attitudes around death, we tried to minimize our BS while recording session. Episode 21 will be out July 6th - can check the show notes HERE for a preview until then! Despite that, this ridiculous conversation about how a painting of Andrea's looked to Mortellus over Zoom during our call was just too funny not to share. We could say we're sorry Mr. Rivera for discussing his celebrated painting "The Flower Carrier" this way, but he was a major jerk to his wife Frida Kahlo so, we're actually not sorry in the least. #TeamFrida Enjoy some ridiculousness.

The first episode of my Pagan Death & Dying series; my interview with the Witch, Priestex, Mortician, Necromancer and author of the newly released "Do I Have to Wear Black? Rituals, Customs & Funerary Etiquette for Modern Pagans". This proved to be one of the most eye-opening, and at times mind-blowing interviews I've done so far. I had the pleasure of having a very long, in-depth chat with Mortellus about their witch's viewpoint of death, the funeral industry, spirit, hauntings, ghosts, and necromancy. There were a couple of "I've never shared this with anybody before now" moments as well. You'll just have to listen for the rest of the information! Also: I used "oxymoron" incorrectly in this podcast and trust me, I am well aware of it. It would have been WAY too much work to go in and edit that part out, So I kept it in. Mon faux pas.

This week Pammit and Llewellyn Author, Mortellus will talk about their book, "Do I Have to Wear Black?: Rituals, Customs & Funerary Etiquette for Modern Pagans " Also classes Mortellus teaches, blogs, and whatever other rabbit holes we dive down. Explore the myriad of customs that have emerged around death and dying in the magical and Pagan communities. Filled with rituals, meditations, legal considerations, and deep insights into death as a spiritual process, this book can be used by magical practitioners or shared with non-Pagan professionals who support Pagans in their final transitions. Within these pages, you will discover more than fifty rituals for funerals, memorials, and remembrances as well as meditations for mourning and letting go.

One of the best books I've read thus far in 2020 is Mortellus's "Do I Have to Wear Black: Rituals, Customs & Funerary Etiquette for Modern Pagans." Sadly it doesn't officially come out until February, but I was so excited about it I wanted to talk to them about it early!  Mortellus is a BTW Witch living in North Carolina and a member of the National Funeral Directors Association and the National Funeral Director and Morticians Association. We are still in the middle of a pandemic, seems like the right time to talk about death, right?  We'll chat about Moretllus's book, Gardnerian Witchcraft, Southern Witch Living, and lots of other stuff!    

Mortellus is the High Priestess of the Coven of Leaves in Rutherfordton NC, a Gardnerian Coven operating an Outer Court training group who like to say that they are a bubbling cauldron of bitter esoterica slithering their way through Western North Carolina. Additionally, she is a Mortician, Author, Medium, and Necromancer. Her book of pagan death rites and rituals for Llewellyn is set to come out Winter of 2020 with a second un-announced project in the works. Currently, she resides on 3 acres that are hastily becoming overgrown again with her husband, daughter, two year old boy girl twins, two chickens, and one really, really ridiculous dog.
