There are many, many branches (denominations) of Paganism and no one can speak for all of them. Many believe in the Summerlands where your soul rests until it is reincarnated. Some believe in the Great Halls of Valhalla. Others believe they will return to the Source of All that is. Some believe that they just die...that there is no afterlife...that we live on through the circle of life kind of thing. Others call it the Otherworld/Spiritworld. There are also branches of Shamanism that believe that whatever a person believes in this life will be what they get in the afterlife. Still others do believe in Heaven and Hell of a sort. It is as varied and glorious as all aspects of Paganism.

Pagans don't die. We recycle.
As a Neo-Hellenic Pagan, I will be escorted by my Lord Hermes to the Kingdom of Hades where I will dwell with the other dead lavishly hosted by the King and Queen of the Underworld until such time as I have accepted my death, let go of the ties of my formal life and am ready to be born again. I will then be escorted by Hecate to the place of my rebirth.
This is all metaphorical of course, as any sensible person knows, but there is truth within the Mystery.

They go to Valhalla the honoured place of the dead if they lived there lives as best they could in life, if they were evil men or women they would go to Hel and face the not so tender mercies of Loki's daughter Hel.
But I'm only a Norse Pagan so people of other Pagan beliefs would go elsewhere when they die.

Well, it depends on the Pagan....we all believe different things, but most of us believe that where we go is determined by what we believe while we live. Wiccans that don't reincarnate are going to the Summerlands for a while (or so they sing); warrior-heathens who die shouting 'Odin' have a fairly good chance of being taken to Valhalla, kind a frat-paradise where you fight all day until you die, are resurrected to drink, shtup, and party all night until you die, are resurrected in the morning to do it all again until Ragnarok begins;
The rest of us are probably going to hang out on the 'otherside' portion of the Astral.

Depends on who you ask, and what type of Paganism they follow. Some Pagans believe in the Summerlands - a place where your soul goes to rest befire it is reincarnated and returned to the earth.
I'm not one of them - I think that my spirit is returned to the energy of the Universe, but it doesn't retain any coherence or consciousness, like a drop of rain into the ocean. When something is born, the spirit/soul for that being is drawn from that same Universal Energy, and may have parts of what used to be "me" (but not all of "me") included in their spirit/soul.

The same place as everyone else, then like everyone else, if they had not learnt what they came here to learn then they will need to come back and do the learning all over again.

If you are interested in what the Bible says, they go to a place called Hades, and will remain there until the Great White Throne Judgment, which will take place in a little over a thousand years, and then they will be judged and cast into hell.
