What do Peter Pan and bees have in common?

They're both thought of as possible psychopomps - guides who accompany souls to the afterlife and bring hope, solace and comfort to the dying.

This episode explores the concept of psychopomps and their various iterations across a number of cultures and religions, while hopefully encouraging listeners to consider the idea of other forms of psychopomps they may have encountered or heard about.
