Episode 1 - Modern Day Mummies - - Thank you for coming to check out the first of many episodes of The Midnight Archive. This week - meet The Sorceress Cagliastro. When Joanna (Brooklyn Observatory, Morbid Anatomy Library) informed me that The Observatory was giving Mummification lessons, i knew right away that the instructor had to be the first segment of this series. Me and my crew arrived at her temporary 'laboratory' in Sunset Park, Brooklyn (a neighborhood i am very familiar with) and we were greeted by a menagerie of her canine followers. After sharing a glass of a mutual favorite spirit (green chartreuse) we got into what it takes to make a mummy. As charming as she is intelligent, meet The Sorceress and of course for more information on her and her work which goes far beyond mummifying pets please visit www.sorceresscagliastro.com or email her at cagliastro@sorceresscagliastro.com.
