Death

[Frances]

Just wondering if people would be interested in discussing their thoughts, ideas on death etc. A friend forwarded something from her mother about the afterlife that to me sounded rather new age ... but this got me thinking - what is the Pagan concept of death? Is there such a thing? Is there a Pagan equivalent to the Catholic "last rites" - or has anyone been in a situation when they have been asked to provide such words of comfort?

My own perception is based on my metaphysical background of the soul's transition - does anyone adapt other spiritual practices - ie the Buddhist bardo states etc??

i forgot to say i do know our bodies may be dead but our spirit lives on and can attach to others or reborn but there is a posibility some may not exist after death or go to another place

One must reach a spiritual level that allows them to see the physical ending of their organic vessel as a natural course of events to renewal their spirit self in another form. When this level of spiritual achievement is reached, one's spirit can let the body do what it naturally does at its end of use without being effected by it. This is the last lesson a human being learns prior to spiritual renewal & transformation. They must let go their physical assets by understanding there is not value in the human biological form on death. If they do not reach this level, the physical death will injure their spirit, pulling it down, so when starting its new life, the spirit will be in effect, behind the eight ball. These are my ways in brief, on physical death & spiritual renewal.
