Ruler of Helheim. Steward of Souls. Daughter of Loki. Too long has the world unfairly slighted this oft demonized Goddess of Death. Besides… all pantheons have one, don’t they? So what makes Hel so “fearsome” to the rest?  

Join Birdie, Sara and guest host Jude in this month’s episode, continuing our series on Loki’s misunderstood yet colorful family. Listen in with an open heart and put your mind at ease as we explore, with excellent guidance, the nuances of deathwork and the role of the psychopomp within the modern funeral industry.  

(CW: discussion of death, death anxiety, crisis, religious trauma)
