as a celtic pagan witch, i am familiar with the idea of reincarnation, but i am not comfortable with the references to summerland. why? because if we are given another turn of the wheel, i believe that will be a gift from the Creatress, mother earth, or Gaia.
to me, personally, summerlands seems like another version of heaven.
these places cannot exist except inside our heads. their 'existence' serves only as a form of reassurance, surely?
perhaps this is because i believe in the powers of nature and her gifts, but i don't think of specific deities as such. i am aware of the many names given to them in reference to rain, crops, fertility etc, but they are merely labels that help our understanding.
when i die, my flesh will return to the earth, my breath to the air, my spirit within the memories of my family and friends.
that is enough for me.
we come from love, and we live in and die in love.
that is all :)
but i do assume i am right. tell me your thoughts please :D
blessed be
