This coming spring I (marcus mccoy) will be speaking at the new orleans necromancy consortium. For those who dont understand what the word necromancy really means it literally means divination by consulting with the dead. This can mean a lot of things and most definitely has come to mean a lot of things. In my lecture I will be discussing some of the plants that are used around the world for communing with the dead, expelling the unwanted dead, controlling the dead, calling the dead and much more. This is part of a book project I have been working on over the past few years, and has been also a series of workshops and classes I have taught at the @viridisgenii symposium.

There will a few others lecturing on plants in necromancy as well, so I am sure past Viridis genii attendees will wish to attend.

I am sure space and tickets with be limited and suspect this to be a sold out and wonderful event. Make sure to join us.

Right before we recieved Brandon's proposal I was chatting with friends and mentioned that there needed to be a good look at purgaives in folk magic and folk medicine. And low nit but a few days after we receive this wonderful workshop proposal! "Methods of Purifying the Body and Soul in Ozark Folk Healing
Working off of themes presented in the lecture, we will be looking at the three major methods of magical cleansing and purifying in Ozark traditional healing: water, fire, and emetics. Water includes washing the body in herbal mixtures chosen for their quality to remove malign curses. In this section participants will be able to assemble their purifying bath mixtures. Fire and smoke uses traditional Ozark fumigants like red cedar, tobacco, and asafetida. Participants will learn proper methods of Ozark fumigation as well as take home some smoking plants of their own. And with emetics and purgatives we will look at gentle purging plants like sassafras, often mixed with soothing plants like horsemint or catnip. Participants will learn a simple and non-vomit inducing cleansing ritual and be able to take home a sassafras drink mixture of their own. Other methods covered by the workshop include: tying off curses with string, counting down rituals, sweeping off hexes with a broom, and more." https://www.viridisgenii.com/brandon-weston/

Viridis genii symposium 2020 lecture by @cronewytch
LECTURE:
Western Cultural Denial of Plant Sentience and How Shamanic Cultures Interact with Plant Consciousness.

Culture has a strong influence on how we perceive the world around us. Most traditional foraging cultures are shamanic, which means the religious specialist they have is also a healer. Shamans work within many mediums and realities. They use sound and song and sand paintings (Navajo), dreaming and chanting (Australian aboriginals), as well as drumming and chanting (Hmong), and all of them use plant relationships.
When anthropologists asked shaman the world over how they know what plants to use in their healing work, how they know how to formulate them, and how they know it is safe, they all answer the same way: “It told me.” or “It came in a dream and instructed me.” These people are able to communicate and commune with plants....
