The Hades Library
Welcome to The RiverStyx Hades’ Library, an unfolding world filled with possibilities for those willing to open themselves up to the experience of life from a different vantage point. Be forewarned, these experiences can be difficult and challenging—there is always a chance you may not survive the trip. I am Charon, your guide. As the boatman who transports all the souls of the dead across the River Styx, I will help you navigate your way through the watery tributaries of the Underworld. Come take a ride off the deep end at Charon’s Dock, or get a vision of the future from the Oracle. Keep coming back as we add new worlds to see: the River Acheron, the Furies, and terrible Tartarus . As you travel with me down the river, read from my musings that I’ve scattered throughout these domains over the past four thousand years and if you think yourself worthy, offer your own ideas, or ask a question by clicking on the envelope located at the base of the portal.
The ride across the River Styx is risky my friend, and there can be no guarantees for your safe return. However, I can promise that if you make it back to the other side, you will not step from this boat the same person. Relax, explore and allow the Specter of Death and Transformation to smile upon you as you progress on your journey.
