Death and the afterlife

I was wordering what are the ideas on what happens after we die as it relates to more non-mainstream religions. I know that Christianity, jeudaism, and Muslims believe in a definite heaven and hell where sinners are punished and the righteous are rewarded, but what do the wiccans and pagans believe? What are your personal beleif systems say?

Also what about the big issues? For Christianity suicide is one of the only main ways to get sent directly to hell, what does your personal belief system say?

Just something I was thinking about.

I believe your body decomposes, your spirit goes to a spirit realm and your energy is integrated back into the whole to be used by others (:

Liniaria has it about right. re-incarnation is not so much "coming back" in another body,more that as the body goes back into the Earth (ashes to ashes,dust to dust) so the body "feeds" the plants above it. Animals,insects,and birds feed on the plants,and so we "live" again. In reality, it is only the spirit that lives on! Even with cremation,the ashes should be scattered. Keeping the ashes in a casket defeats the object!

so does the relm that the spirit passes to seem just like a human relm or is it something totally different? and do you keep the memery of your past or is it erased and you just restart a new life? does the spirit just keep moving on from relm to relm for all eternity?

We die, our soul / spirit leaves Human body goes to an resting place with other souls and if you decide, you can reincarnate to whatever form you wish in whatever planet you wish. Or you can stay in this mandate

Of course these are all our beliefs and there are many other beliefs all very different.. it is up to you on which you want to take to heart or not.

I've read somewhere that the soul chooses his life's experiences before reincarnating to improve its spiritual journey...if so, lol, then what was I thinking when I had this opportunity. I could have done so much better.

Personally, the afterlife gives me reason to be in this life.

Believe what you believe; and whatever you believe,if it gives comfort whilst we live in this vale of tears,then carry on believing in whatever you accept as "after-life".

personally i believe my physical body will return to this earth to nourish and my etheric body joins the spiritual earth mother's realm and my astral body joins the astral realm and my mental body joins the mental realm and my Oversoul continues on it journey of learning and experiencing different worlds to hopefully have my own realm or world of my own to have dominion of .

Well I belive becuase im christian-wiccan that we get a choice and my choice would probaly be get judged and go to heaven.
