THE SORCERESS CAGLIASTRO is one of the few people currently adept at THE ART OF MUMMIFICATION
HISTORY
The Sorceress' history as a Trade Embalmer, Autopsy Tech, and holding a certificate in Forensic Sculpture (applying clay to the denuded human skull to restore facial features for identification purposes) combined with her profound interest in Egyptian Mummification let to a natural affinity to explore the Art and Science of Mummification. Studying the work of Bob Brier, an American Egyptologist specializing in paleopathology and mummification later in her work helped to refine the process as his work has offered data regarding the mummification of humans. At this point her formula was finally perfected....
The Sorceress has received various types of press coverage of her work and has taught mummification to interested students over many years. She had chosen to remain less public about the work until a recent situation which inspired her to open her work up a bit more through these new classes.
"....this is an art - one that manipulates the impression of immortality..... People have a profound interest in the process of "remaining" in some way...it hits a nerve. Mummification is not a clean process, it is difficult, messy and unpleasant in many ways so it is not for the squeamish..... consider that you are handling the "on-going" visual presence of a previously living creature. It must be done with care and significant reverence - and of course patience. Mummification, like Death, takes its time and tells you, the mummifier, when it is good and ready - and then and only then is there completion....."
