A Curious Invitation

💀A few of our ghouls / friends at last year's Halloween Party
The theme this year is SATAN'S ROUT from Bulgarkov's The Master and Margarita

Coming?

💀 📖 Books of the Dead - a travel guide
Very pleased that Gary Lachman our foremost writer on the esoteric returns to tell tales of the guide books on how we should prepare for death - and what happens after - from ancient Egypt and medieval Tibet, up to now, including ones best left unread..

We can't remember how many times Gary has spoken at Month of the Dead. He is always an absolute great, always runs over and always turns up about three minutes before his talk is due to start :) ☠

💀 Friends: just a gentle reminder

Today is he last day to use the code LMOTD24 for a 10% discount on tickets to most events ☠

💀The Death Mask of Carlos I of Portugal showing the hole made by the bullet that assassinated him.

Just one of the many unseen treasures in the archives of the British Museum - Thanks to Jim Peters for showing us ☠

💀If you've got your tickets for this year, sit back relax, this heatwave will soon be over, and the darkened skies and the cool mists of Autumn will be upon us before you know it :) ☠

💀Friends: we are in for some major treats this October!

Just back from seeing an incredible private collection of funerary artefacts that a few lucky mortals can visit during the month

This image: mourning brooch made with dead child’s hair ( for you)

Other images: the coffin s***f boxes are worth a trip alone!

☠️George Bernard Shaw’s death mask.

We had a private visit to the British Museum archives courtesy of Jim Peters. Saw several wonderful treasures.
