I actually like this word (soul-carrier), bilby, but using it many times in a novel is rather... psycho-pompous.

Sounds like - ostentatious and slightly mad (?) - who would want this guide in the otherworld?

This appears many times in the novel I cited. It's a silly word and deserves the pulp treatment.

When I first looked at this word I saw "psychopoop" (the "o's" played a trick on my eyes) and I thought that might be a handy substitute for calling someone a s**t-head.

"Rawlie led Thad back inside the office and picked up Barringer's Folklore of America. 'Sparrows, loons and especially whippoorwills are psychopomps,' he said, not without some triumph in his voice."
