Psychopomp

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard stories about the afterlife or ghosts going to heaven or hell or someplace else? Well, psychopomps are kind of like tour guides for those souls.

When someone dies, their soul has to go somewhere, right? And sometimes, they might not know where to go or how to get there. That's where a psychopomp comes in.

Psychopomps are special creatures or beings that help guide souls to where they need to go. They can be angels or demons, animals like horses or dogs, or even humans themselves.

Sometimes, psychopomps are tasked with guiding souls to the afterlife, like the fabled River Styx. Other times, they help the spirits of the dead find peace or closure by leading them to a specific place or person.

So, think of psychopomps as friendly helpers for spirits who are lost or confused. They're the ones who make sure the dead get to where they need to go and keep them safe along the way.
