Episode 8 - Archangel Azrael, Necromancy and Funerary P...

Welcome to Ground Zero Radio's Mysteries Beyond podcast, where we delve headfirst into the unknown and unseen realms touching our worlds. This episode leads you on an intriguing journey that challenges the norm and turns the ordinary world upside down. Your guide on this fascinating odyssey is your host, Laura Lavender. Always unflinching, Laura is ready to explore taboos, traditions, and tales of the other side. In our grand opening act, we'll journey into esoteric realms as we discuss the storied Archangel Azrael, popularly known as the angel of death. We'll traverse through his fabled history, analyze his various depictions, and attempt to unravel the truth. Is he an unfeeling executor enforcing divine verdicts on humankind or a merciful guide aiding souls in their final journey? The second act thrusts into the taboo world of Necromancy. Once upon a time, necromancy was a practice to gather wisdom of past, present, and future from the departed. Over time, it writhed into the bizarre realm of black magic. We'll uncover its two forms -- raising the dead and conversing with spirits. Tune in as we unearth details of some of these rituals. The concluding act continues the discourse on death. We explore various practices around the world, including America's 'sleeping-peacefully' embalming tradition. Ever heard about post-mortem photography from the Victorian era or the annual bone-cleansing ritual in Mexico? Or the Kotsuage tradition from Japan, where bones are selected and preserved by the family? We'll turn to these traditions in our exploration of the world's diverse attitudes towards death.
