We talk about death and what happens to our bodies after death and some specifics about how the Covid pandemic has impacted death care workers. Some of this discussion may feel graphic to some listeners. Later, We briefly mention sexual abuse but do not go into details. We speak of dying, and resurrection and talking to the dead. But We also discuss the Morrigan, mischievous familiars, discuss when and how to trust your magical experience, graveyards, herbs, tools for necromancy, and – necromancy in D&D – Yeah. We went there too.
