Part I of my Occult October podcast series! In this interview, I got to speak with Sarah Chavez, historian and Executive Director of the Order of the Good Death. We discuss the American Civil War’s effect on funeral traditions and the historical power of beans to ward off ghosts and vampires. Find out if it's bad luck to step on a grave and what's it mean to be "death positive"! Plus, learn about some ancient, cannibalistic funeral traditions from around the world (like making beer from intestines!)
