No, Wiccans turn stayathomemoms into brooms and then burn them ;)
Generally speaking (and this is very general as there are many sects of Wicca), Wiccans believe in an afterlife, known as the "summerlands". It's a place of rest and reflection before moving on to the next life.

Wicca is a very large a varied religious group. Within Wicca there are many 'denominations' (referred to as "traditions"). Each has slightly varying ideas about what happens to us in the afterlife. However, there are some unifying beliefs. Wiccans believe in reincarnation; that after our physical bodies die our souls 'live' on and are born again into new bodies. Many also believe that there is a place out souls travel to when we die to relax, recuperate, and review our past life. Perhaps the most common name used for this place is, "The Summerland" as mention by some previous users. Some also believe that we choose the body and life we are born into each time we reincarnate. Once the soul has learned and accumulated all the information it needed to through it's various lives it is said to join the 'Universal Consciousness' which is God. And at that point our souls become co-creators of the Universe. (In reality we have the ability to create before that point, of course. :-))

properly the glaring effect is dying....yet it is gonna take place to all individuals some day, in spite of which faith we do or have not got self belief in. As others have pronounced, this Wiccan additionally does no longer problem plenty over the way forward for my very own or others' souls and the "afterlife". i will locate out quickly adequate - my objective is to stay this existence and make the best of it mutually as i've got nonetheless have been given it. a minimum of of this i'd properly be sure - what would or would possibly no longer take place upon my dying i can't be confident of, properly, till I die. extra proper to no longer spend plenty time and skill thinking/annoying approximately it that I waste my *existence*. I want some from different religions would be extra worried approximately certainly residing their ideals themselves somewhat than putting plenty concentration on attempting to get others to stay their ideals through fact they are so "worried" approximately our souls and our "afterlife". what's so dang incorrect with residing this existence first? i individually have self belief all our souls bypass someplace and that i've got self belief that we would desire to be reincarnated countless cases. I lean in direction of the possibility that possibly we % what that place is like, that we create it ourselves in line with what we rather believed and how we actually felt approximately ourselves in existence - form of like interior the action picture "What desires would Come". The spouse/mom that commited suicide created her very own "hell" - she did no longer *ought to* be there, yet it is the place she concept she belonged so she placed herself there.

Depends on which Wiccan philosophy you believe.
Personally, I think every time you see a new tree sprouting, A Wiccan has died and his soul becomes a tree.
Actually...that's a load of crap. Who knows.

Some believe in re-incarnation. Some believe in Hades' underworld, etc.

They turn into Wicca baskets and Wicca furniture--the furniture in particular is nice for a deck or balcony, provided it doesn't rain too much.
