WOTC Extra – The Summerland is For Everyone
Before a soul is reincarnated it rests in the Summerland, according to Wiccan beliefs. The Summerland is different for everyone, and it is a place of rest and joy. When a person dies their soul resides in the Summerland before the soul is reborn to learn more spiritual lessons.
The Summerland might sound like heaven, but in the Wiccan faith everyone goes to the Summerland after they die. Even people who are bad or wicked will go the Summerland to wait for reincarnation. People who were not good people will not be punished. They just have to repeat the same lessons over and over again until they move to a new spiritual level. The Summerland is very personal and Wiccans believe that the experience of the Summerland is different for everyone. For one person the Summerland might resemble their beloved childhood home. For another it might resemble a tropical vacation.
Some souls get stuck or lost and don’t arrive at the Summerland right away. Souls that are the victims of extreme violence or souls that are clinging to their human lives end up trapped on Earth and they can’t go to the Summerland until they resolve the issues surrounding their deaths.
