In 1997, author Irene Weinberg’s husband was tragically killed in a car accident. As Irene healed and put the pieces of her life back together, Saul reached across the divide between the living and the dead, helping Irene to make changes that have affected her whole family.
Irene Weinberg and her beloved husband Saul were driving home when their SUV went into a skid, flipped multiple times, and careened off the road. Irene, severely injured, knew instantly her husband was dead. That day began a new chapter in Saul and Irene’s centuries long love affair that transcends both time and place.
Artist Daniel Ortega mixes the cremated remains of humans and animals with hemp, ash, stone and other organic materials to create stunningly beautiful paintings and backlit keepsake vaults. He does not smoke his work ~ he is on a natural high!
In Part Two of my interview with Kat the Wiccan Mortician, we discuss slow medicine, which is the latest trend in taking back control from the medical machine, her vision for a natural burial ground in Alaska, death doulas, human compositing, and a whole bunch of other interesting things you can only talk about with a lovely and intelligent person. You won’t be bored!

Kat brings a fresh, unique perspective to life, death, and the in-between.
