The Threshold Keeper

The rule

You may have learned that death, and endings generally, are failures to be managed and minimised so ordinary life can resume.

Traditionally echoed in Ọya, the Yoruba orisha of storms and sudden change who guards the gates of the cemetery, and in Anubis, who guided souls through the Egyptian underworld.
