In this powerful episode of The Cult of You, Adam Nox sits down with Connor Kendall, author of The Necromancer, for a journey through death, transformation, and the spiritual path that lies beyond conventional occult practice. With the veil of Samhain and Beltane opening transitions in the Northern and Southern hemispheres respectively, this conversation is a timely exploration of the one force we cannot escape: death.
Death is not an end—it is the great initiator of transformation.”
“To be the Lord of the Sickness is to no longer be its victim.”
Death is not the end, but the gateway to true transformation. All spiritual systems ultimately interface with death as a sacred mystery.
Necromancy is not a practice—it is a current. It is infinite and cannot be mastered in one lifetime.
True power lies in the alchemy of decay. Defilement, when consciously embraced, becomes transmutation.
Personal evolution requires death. Everything not aligned with your higher purpose must die—including identities, relationships, and patterns.
The spirits don’t care about race or tradition. They care about sincerity, resonance, and devotion.
Emotions are astral gateways. The death current responds to the intensity of feeling, not the polish of ritual.
To become the Lord of the Sickness is to master it. Beelzebub’s lesson emphasizes sovereignty over victimhood.
Resistance is the source of suffering. Trauma during transformation is caused by holding on to what must go.
The death current demands congruence. Only those aligned internally can handle its intensity.
Magic must be embodied. This path is not about knowledge alone, but about living the mysteries daily.
“Necromancy isn’t a ritual—it’s a current that weaves through all paths of power.”
“Suffering is holding onto what death is trying to release from you.”
The discussion begins with reflections on the intimate, ever-present nature of death. In today’s world, where mortality is closer than ever due to global crises, Connor invites us to stop avoiding death and instead ally with it. In traditions like the Draconian current, death is seen as the equalizer and teacher, a presence that informs how fully we live.
Connor’s journey with necromancy began at birth, with near-death experiences shaping his lifelong quest. Though he initially engaged in various magical systems—draconian paths, traditional witchcraft, demonology—death was always the silent figure at the back of the room. It was only after meeting a discarnate master that the path of necromancy opened for him in earnest. What followed was years of exploration, deep spiritual transformation, and a massive body of work culminating in his book.
Unlike watered-down Necronomicon pop culture fluff, Connor’s approach is rigorous, mystical, and integrative. He views necromancy not just as ritual interaction with the dead, but as the death current itself—an eternal, interwoven stream running through every spiritual tradition. From angels to demons, from gods of death to ancestor worship, necromancy becomes a means of accessing all magical systems without disassociation.
A key part of this journey, according to Connor, is psychic hygiene and energetic sovereignty. Many practitioners become consumed by the forces they invoke. Instead, Connor emphasizes transmutation. Drawing on teachings from Beelzebub and others, he explains that true necromancy is about becoming the lord of the sickness—not succumbing to it. The dark current can empower, not decay, when approached alchemically.
There’s a profound parallel here to initiatory transformation. One must die many times in one life. This could mean the death of a relationship, a version of self, or even familiar surroundings. But these deaths make space for true evolution. Connor speaks candidly about shedding toxic relationships, trauma, and addiction in order to become the person he is today. Each version of himself, he says, is like a past life lived in this one.
A major portion of the conversation explores Connor’s relationship with Santa Muerte. Death is the only lover who will never leave you, Adam muses. Connor agrees. Santa Muerte is home, not just for him, but for his whole family. He rejects the idea that working with her (or any spirit) is restricted by race, lineage, or gatekeeping. Spirits don’t judge like people do. They’re beyond human notions of morality.
The episode also dives into the jinn. After his necromantic initiations, Connor was guided to Tunisia, where he trained with secluded jinn masters. Their methods were intuitive, unstructured, and based on constant communion—radically different from Western ceremonial magic. Yet from their teachings, Connor developed his own hybrid system that retained authenticity while adapting to modern practice.
Throughout the episode, there is a recurring emphasis on trusting the process, surrendering to the storm of transformation, and remembering that trauma often comes not from change itself, but from resisting it. True magic, as Adam puts it, requires death—letting go of old versions of reality so that new ones may emerge.
The conversation ends with a look toward the future. Connor teases new work—The Devil’s Idol—and a forthcoming system of magical technology beyond the demonic gatekeepers. What has come so far, he suggests, was only preparation.
This episode is not just about necromancy. It’s about transformation, sovereignty, and spiritual power through the darkest gateways.
Conner Kendall became a black magician upon discovering the Spirit World as a child. He has dedicated his life to demonology, necromancy, Luciferianism, Satanism, the Ahrimanic and Adversarial currents.
Kendall aspires to liberate himself and his fellow brothers and sisters of humankind, to shatter the shackles of slavery, kill the false prophetic gurus, and push forth a new era of innovation and evolution.
True magic begins when the false self dies.”
“The jinn live among us, in a world that vibrates faster than ours—yet their reality is more real than ours.”
“You can’t call yourself a magician if you haven’t died a thousand times in the fires of your own becoming.”
