Necromancy for the Accidental Necromancer

A Livestream Class with Petrucia Finkler

Sunday, October 5 at 10:30 am in Shadow

Some witches and magicians see or hear spirits from an early age, but many of us do not have such an easy time with that. We might shut it down because it feels too intense, invasive, or frightening, or end up not knowing what to do with these gifts. Then there are those who unexpectedly awaken their mediumship skills while developing their subtle senses through magickal training and practice—an experience that can be both powerful and disorienting.

So how do we navigate this ability to perceive the dead when we never intended for necromancy to be central in our magickal path?

In this workshop, Brazilian-American psychotherapist and Death Midwife Petrucia Finkler shares personal stories and practical guidance to help you make sense of these experiences. Whether you’re just beginning to sense spirits or you’ve had unplanned encounters for years, we’ll explore useful techniques and frameworks for integration. Topics include:

• Cultural contrasts: How the treatment of the dead in the U.S. and Brazil shapes astral dynamics
• Guidelines for interacting and co-inhabiting with spirit entities
• How to sidestep tricksters, guardians, and vagrants
• Working safely and respectfully with ancestors
• The value and upkeep of an ancestral altar
