Episode 28: Exploring Death Figures in Other Cultures

Hey, hi, hello, and welcome to this week's episode of Death Coven! This week, we did a some research on death-related deities and other entities from cultures outside of the ones we typically work with in our day to day practice. This week, we'll look at a a few gods and demi gods from the Māori tradition, we'll meet the Fates, and then we'll finish up by learning about Azrael, the Angel of Death.

The book Poppy recommends at the end of the episode was HumanKind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman.
