HAPPY HALLOWEEN, FIENDS! Niamh takes us on a tour of Psychompomps, those figures who transport souls to the afterlife. From Anubis in Egypt to Hermes in Greece, to Epona, the Valkyries, Gwyn Ap Nudd and Azrael, every culture has some form of death shepherd. Thanks so much for sticking with us for Season 2 :)
