He is quick and cunning, and moved freely between the worlds of the mortal and divine, as emissary and messenger of the gods,[1] intercessor between mortals and the divine, and conductor of souls into the afterlife. He is protector and patron of travelers, herdsmen, thieves,[2] orators and wit, literature and poets, athletics and sports, invention and trade.[3] In some myths he is a trickster, and outwits other gods for his own satisfaction or the sake of humankind. His attributes and symbols include the herma, the rooster and the tortoise, purse or pouch, winged sandals, winged cap, and his main symbol is the herald's staff, the Greek kerykeion or Latin caduceus which consisted of two snakes wrapped around a winged staff.[4] Etymology[edit]
Kelley Harrell: You Don't Call, You Don't Write... The Quiet Dead During the Samhain season much emphasis is put on spirits, ghosts and things that go bump in the night. As psychopomp is a critical role of my personal and professional shamanic path, I'm often approached by those who want me to communicate with deceased loved ones. In some cases a different scenario arises and I'm asked, "Why doesn't my deceased loved one visit me?" My immediate response is, "How do know your loved one doesn't?" There is an assumption that because we are emotionally close to a deceased loved one that we are open to and will recognize a visit from that dear soul. It's an understandable assumption, as our culture generally sensationalizes and romanticizes interactions with the deceased.

The Psychopomp SOuL Searchers - Articles Many religious belief systems have a particular spirit, deity, demon or angel whose responsibility is to escort newly-deceased souls to the afterlife. These creatures are called psychopomps or death walkers. The term psychopomp from the Greek word psychopompos, literally meaning the "guide of souls". They were often associated with animals such as horses, whippoorwills, ravens, dogs, crows, owls, sparrows, harts, and dolphins. In Mythology a psychopomp was primarily a god or goddess of the Underworld. Todas las aguas son el agua / Información De la unión de dos simples átomos de hidrógeno y uno de oxígeno surge la molécula H2O, unidad básica de una de las más extraordinarias sustancias que conforman la naturaleza, y la que muestra un comportamiento más anómalo: el agua. Si el hidrógeno es el elemento más abundante en el Universo, el agua es el compuesto químico más abundante en la Tierra: tres cuartas partes de la misma están inundadas por las profundas y salobres aguas de mares y océanos. Ese mar, esas aguas, fueron el caldo de cultivo en el que se generó la vida de nuestro planeta. Y esa vida sigue dependiendo del agua.
Contemporary Shamanism The deathwalker is not a grim reaper; they are releasing that which is trapped, moving that which is beyond life, but not yet truly within the clutches of death. Shamans are often identified in older or more primitive cultures as essential in aiding the process of fertility and birth. Very often, in modern society, we want to overlook another one of their fundamental tasks in serving their communities, and that is to be there also at the end of life, assisting the dying and those departed on their journeys from this world. This is not Hollywood; the deathwalker perceives their task as part of the necessary cycle of life and one that they are particularly adept at through virtue of their own predilections. We have no issues when we look at primitive cultures in allowing for both those positions in a shamanic culture, but in our own we have defied both in order to embrace what we like to think of as more culturally sophisticated and civilized behaviors.

Resources for The Modern Psychopomp, Death Midwife, Shaman, Guide to the Afterlife Certain people seem to be born with an ability to help people cross over at the time of death, or assist those souls who need guidance after the transition. Yet, a psychopomp is not generally a medium. Their primary function is not to reconnect the living with the dead, but to help the spirit or soul of an individual cross over to a safe place at the time of death. While it is true that some have a natural inclination towards this work, others find it is a skill that can be learned. Either way, there is a great need in our modern society for those with psychopomp skills.
La nodriza de las hadas y el rey carmesí Todo conocimiento psicológico es imaginario James Hillman Dicen que Apolo fue el inventor de la medicina, aunque tambien dicen que nunca la ejerció más allá de utilizar la cítara y el augurio como medios terapéuticos, fue su hijo Asclepio el que comenzó a usar las plantas como remedios medicinales y quizá por llevarle la contraria a su padre inventó aquello del “ars muda“, una idea que ha llegado a nuestros dias y que viene a decir que el médico tiene que limitarse a prescribir hierbas y a usar sus manos renunciando a todo aquello que pueda resultar estridente donde magia y medicina se confunden por el público mal educado en estas lides. Asi, en la tradición médica puede hablarse de dos clases de médicos, aquellos que ejercian la “ars muda” de aquellos que usaban los cánticos, sonidos, danzas con emisión de sonidos: la catarsis que podia conseguirse a través de varios métodos, incluyendo la ayuda de algunas drogas. Hasta Freud. No fué Freud sino su paciente Anna O.

Pero tenemos poderes elementales más enérgicos e impredecibles que componen nuestro medioambiente, deidades de la lluvia y el trueno, viento y fuego, e inundación.
