you would like this album. story of a man crossing the river Acheron, another one of the rivers similar to Styx dividing our world from the underworld. the protag from the album crosses it the hard way and picks a fight with Cerberus.

aside from that, how does one become a psychopomp after death?

I vividly remember watching that movie as a boy and the Reaper made a deep impression on me. he was my favorite character for so long. I even read all the stories of him and Charon. they were alive as men, and it was their decision to remain in the space between lives to prevent people from getting lost. noble work. I would rather do that in the afterlife than most of the other options. Psychopomps seems to be able to go any place, time, and such to perform their work.

Most people think the psychopomp is the reaper of souls but it's actually just a guide who brings you to a point of change. When you enter into Nigredo you have two options, change or perish. He is the one that forces you to make a choice.

>two options, change or perish. He is the one that forces you to make a choice.

and what happens if I refuse the two choices presented to me? what happens if I resist? what happens if I decide to ignore them and just start walking off on my own? it can't be that bad out there since they exist there and are not in any form of binding or torment. most of them are doing the job willingly.

what is the worst they can do to me? make me sit in time out for a few millenia getting my eyes gouged out by a crow or something? lame. and then what? wag their fuckin finger at me and demand I make their stupid choices? fuck them, I do what I want.

if I want to spend some of my afterlife escorting fresh souls to the next place, I fuckin will. fuck them and their fuckin 2 choice shit.

can someone tell me more about the psychopomp archetype ?

>>42295767
I could but I’m not going to because I don’t like you.

The psychopomp is the guide that shows up when the old self needs to be destroyed to make way for the new self. Most people know him as the being during the transition of life and death, but that's not the only place he occupies. He also guides you through any troubling time in life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Christopher#The_Golden_Legend
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponte

one interesting story about St Christopher is about how he helped people cross an actual dangerous river for many years, an allegorical protrayal of the "river escort" of pontiffs and other such pont- and river related words. with many psychopomps, they have a liminal memetic device which is used to carry the semiotic structure of the allegory into conscious thought. with St Christopher, the parallels between Charon and his work are similar. other psychopomps operate in different areas, such as valleys, caves, and other liminal devices. across the psychopomps, they all have sort of a style and backstory to them which illustrates common personality traits of the psychopomps in their lives before they became what they were.

ditto on them visiting in difficult times of life, not just death. unfortunate how often people see them as harmful.

St Christopher here

>>42295916

had a similar backstory to some of the other psychopomps. link above for more info and picrel. you'll recall stories of dog/wolf headed people, and whether or not they were true is a telenothian question

https://www.macroevolution.net/books-by-gene-mccarthy.html
https://www.macroevolution.net/

but it doesn't matter too much for this analysis since it is mostly allegory. the dog headed aspect in art and stories of that time period generally referred to people who were sort of rowdy, sort of a rake. not a goody two shoes, but not evil either. just sort of wild and wooly, but not all the way. the dog head represents that, the words and thoughts they have resembled that of wolves and dogs. impetuous, chase down anything, and etc... another similar setup with with Chiron

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiron

except as with the other centaurs which are animals below the waist (sexually enthusiastic) and would often times behave in ways related to the animal they were hybridized with. when you look *closely* at how Chiron is designed, specifically when instructing young Achilles in combat, he had human legs, meaning he was a "horse's ass" as a personality, but very very good at what he did.

with St Christopher and other similar pontifical characters whose job is to assist in some wa, Chiron not so much a psychopomp like Charon, it helps to understand the memetic and semiotic terrains used to express the underlying value in the story.

a lot of the psychopomps were sort of like St Christopher. rowdy with a sense of adventure and such. they eventually confront the pain and misery of the world, and having understood their immunity to it, their experience in travels and danger make them a good fit for the job, and having a soft spot for strangers and helping them is often the pinnacle of their personality.

how's that?
