Episode 15: The Symbol of the Psychopomp

The sacred thresholds of the world are guarded by Hermes Psychopompos, the one who ferries us across boundaries, between realms. Many of us are familiar with the figure of Mercury, the Roman messenger god, but Mercury had another formulation, that of the psychopomp, who delivered spirits from life into the underworld, and who exists in stages of dream and waking life. 

In our 15th episode, we contemplate the symbol of the psychopomp, exploring how this figure of “in-betweenness” appears in our imaginative, spiritual, and mythic contexts. With grace, the psychopomp delivers us from one life situation to the next, and in the process of that delivery, opens up new realms of awareness of the psyche and the soul. We hope you love the episode, and that it helps you tune in to your own psychopomp.
