D.s. & Durga Based On The Rituals Of The Proto-Mississippian Death Cult Of The 1200s. Native Birch Tar Viola & White Spruce Grounded In Incense & Cypress Root

Mississippi Medicine is based on what little is known about the rituals of a fast growing death cult that emerged in the southern part of the US in the 1200s. Called the South Eastern Ceremonial Complex, it is more of a period within the Mississippian culture (the mound builders) when a specific system of religion quickly emerged. Other names for it were The Buzzard Cult and simply The Southern Death Cult (badass).

The sacred cedar tree represented an axis mundi (a gateway between the lower and upper worlds).
