DEATH ALLIES
A Sacred Apprenticeship in the Art of Psychopomp
A 7-week immersive in deathwalking, soul passagework, and sacred service to the dead.
YOU FEEL THE CALL
Perhaps you’ve always been drawn to the threshold—
to the dreams that visit you at night,
to the hush in hospital rooms,
to the strange stillness in places others avoid.
Maybe you’ve lingered in graveyards out of a sense of reverence.
Maybe you’ve sensed a presence and wondered how to help.
Maybe you've always known there was something more—
something sacred—waiting just beyond the veil.
This is a course for those who feel that ancient pull.
For those who are ready to meet it with devotion,
with care, with skill, and with power.
For those called to serve the dead—and, through them, the living.
WHAT IS A PSYCHOPOMP?
The word psychopomp means “soul guide.”
It names an ancient and sacred role: the one who walks beside the dead, offering healing. clarity, care, and safe passage between realms.
Psychopomps appear in myths and lineages across the world—Anubis, Hermes, Maman Brigitte, the Valkyries. But the work has never belonged only to the divine.
Some are born with the call. Others find it after loss, through dreams, or in the quiet knowing that lingers after a presence brushes past.
You might know this role by other names:
Death walker. Spirit tender. Threshold companion. Light bearer.
In this apprenticeship, you'll learn not just what a psychopomp is, but how to become one in practice—with reverence, discernment, and skill.
🌿 You will learn how to:
Build safe, grounded relationships with the spirits of the dead
Discern when and how to offer support—and when not to
Navigate spiritual boundaries, ethics, and energetic hygiene
Journey with psychopomp guides—like Death, or other sacred allies
Assist souls who are stuck due to trauma, confusion, or unfinished ties
Work with real-world scenarios like hauntings, suicides, or collective losses
Tend to your own nervous system, body, and boundaries in the process
While this course centers personal and spiritual transformation, you may also find these tools apply to your work with living clients—supporting space clearings, energetic attachments, or the quiet presence of the dead.
