Description
Our November esoteric talk in association with The Moon Temple takes place on Monday 18th November - we welcome Madeline Ledespencer to share her experiences and research with Necrophilia, The Love that Transcends Death.
Necrophilia stands as one of the most abject of sexual deviancies. It has been present throughout history but only recently has there been a concerted effort to study and categorise the varieties of necrophiliac behaviour.
In this lecture Madeleine Ledespencer will discuss Necrophilia in art, literatrature, and the criminal record. We will explore notable case studies of necrophilia throughout history and how modern forensic criminologists classify the various manifestations of this behaviour to better understand what drives the living to see intimacy with the dead. From the tender sentimentality of Mary Shelley keeping her husband's heart in a tin box to the brutal necrosadism of François Bertrand, the full spectrum of necrophilia will be uncovered and exposed.
