Do Witches believe in an afterlife?
Yes, most Witches believe in some form of reincarnation, or rebirth — either in the sense that we all get recycled because everything comes from the earth and our bodies go back into the earth when we die, or in the sense that our individual identity, our spirit, becomes connected to a new person or life-form. Witches do not believe in heaven or hell. Most Witches would acknowledge that they cannot prove their beliefs one way or another, so we call this area of belief an area of Mystery. But most Witches would agree with this song: “It’s the blood of the ancients that runs through our veins, and the forms pass, but the circle of life remains.” We are all aware of our connections with our ancestors, and of the fact that, in some sense, we will live in our descendants.
