>> I think I've figured out why. And it isn't the voodoo specifically. It's the concept of making friends with Death. <<

Ah, okay. There are not many resources for that, but some. Louisiana Voodoo is one. Mexican culture has more.

Terry Pratchett did rather a good job of portraying Death.

"The Shadow Lover" is another favorite.

If you want to make friends with Death, gods know he could use more friends. Just try to be gentle. Mostly nobody ever notices him except to scream or make threats, which sucks and makes him skittish in some ways. He can put on a good show of confidence, but underneath that he's lonely.

Also he loves poetry, if you want a bit of common ground to chat about.

>>2017 is going to be already so fucking weird. There will be some weird kickass awesomeness along the way if I have to jump up and down and spin in circles to achieve it.<<

Good luck with that. The world needs more awesomeness.
