Necromancy and Herbalism: Plants of the Dead
Introduction
Our lives depend on Death. We nourish ourselves with Death every time we eat, we revive the Dead each time we talk about or think about them. We cyclically celebrate the Death and Rebirth of the natural cycle. And although Death is something constantly present in our daily lives, it entails a never-ending mystery. And so it has been since the very beginning: Death has always motivated the creation of beliefs, religions, customs, and traditions.
The Plant world is closely related to the Mystery of Death. For centuries, Plant Allies have been used for communicating or communing with the Dead, to scare off those spirits that have become restless and parasitic, and to try and understand the great Mystery of the ultimate transgression in mysticism and religion.
In this two-week online course, we will deal with Herbalism in relation to Necromancy. In order to do so, we will talk about the history, principles, and elements of the classical necromantic practice. We will analyze how this path relates to folk magic and witchcraft. We will discover which plants have been used in necromantic rituals, funerary ceremonies, and which plants have been used in Ancestor Work through the ages.
Additionally, we will address the harvest of Plants intended to be used in Necromancy, Funerary rites, Ancestor Work, and we will introduce the basics of graveyard etiquette.
Enrollments start on September 3rd at the store.
