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.
