Tomás Prower presents an impressive ar- ray of topics, in- cluding each cul- ture’s views on the hereafter, mourn- ing periods, the deceased’s legacy, handling of re- mains, and more. Discover the lore and magic of death, both on the physical and spir- itual planes. Ex- plore hands-on ac- tivities, spells, and prayers that will open your eyes to new practices. Ex- perience personal stories and anec- dotes by modern people from vari- ous regions and religions. This fascinating book makes death a more approachable topic and helps you understand and utilize the profound wisdom of cultures around the globe. From Judaism in the Middle East to shamanism in East Asia, Morbid Magic presents an amazing, in-depth look at how the world deals with death. “I’ve been looking for a book that would give me an overview of the death customs of many different cultures throughout history, and Morbid Magic fit the bill quite nicely.” “The author infuses macabre humor into the historical narrative from time to time, which made it even more entertaining to read.” Morbid Magic goes into detail about the death customs practiced all over the world and how to incorporate relat- able aspects into your own life. I found it really in- teresting seeing how different cul- tures or religions treat death. Tomás Prower (Los Angeles, CA) is the internation- al author of multi- ple books, includ- ing Queer Magic .
