There are some figures in folklore who do not belong to the living… yet are not part of the dead either.

In this episode, we step into the shadowed world of the Grave Witch — the woman who walked the boundaries of death, tending graves, guiding spirits, and holding space for those in their final transition. Feared by some and quietly respected by others, she existed where most dared not linger: in the stillness of burial grounds, in the hush between life and what comes after.

Through story, history, and symbolism, we explore the role of women who worked with death — from grave tenders to spirit-guides — and uncover the deeper meaning behind their presence in folklore. This is not a tale of darkness, but of devotion, threshold work, and the ancient human need to honour those who pass beyond the veil.

🖤 A haunting and beautiful journey into grief, ritual, and the quiet magic of endings.
