The end of October is the perfect time for necromancy. Whether we seek advice from departed loved ones, wish to connect to our witch ancestors or wander around the other side, the thinness of the veil can be easily pierced by botanical specialists. Death walking provides us with the opportunity to better understand the mysteries of the afterlife.

If you are new to this sort of witchery, proceed with caution. I suggest contacting a beloved departed for your first time walking on the other side.

Death Walking

Witchery including mediumship, psychopompery and summoning spirits are all forms of death walking particularly suited for this time of the year.

Somebody asked this question in a social media comment on Called by Problematic Gods. I went looking for a blog post where I discussed it and I couldn’t find one. I’ve written plenty about my own callings, what to do when you’re called by a God you’d just as soon avoid, and what to do when it seems like nobody will ever call. But in over ten years of blogging, I’ve never directly answered the question of how you know if a God is calling you.
