In this episode of The Aether, I sit down with The Death Alchemist, a death doula who works as a transitional usher between our world and the departed. Adriana enlightens us about her Indigenous Chicana ancestry and provides a humble introduction to one of her most personal and reverential guides: Santa Muerte.

Her work invites us to consider continuity — how ritual restores coherence to what grief can fracture. Through her story, we learn to tend to life’s endings and refine the unseen art of returning the soul to wholeness.

The Aether: giving form to the formless.
