The Hades and Persephone thread got me thinking about this. How do you feel about working with or speaking to gods of death (or angels, or psychopomps, or any combinations thereof)? If you have, what have your experiences been?
I'm not trying to say that entities that deal in the realm of death are evil (far from it), but being a squishy mortal, the idea of death does scares me. I've only ever spoken to Azrael (and Anubis once, briefly, because He had a shrine at a shop I visited right after someone died) after someone's death, or when someone was dying, and I always got a sense of heaviness and fear. Heaviness I don't mind--I'm actually drawn to heavier energies--but I wonder if the fear is because of my own fear of death.
