A gentle, straightforward meditation on mortality, death and the afterlife, this is the first book of its kind to explore the pagan attitude to life, of which death is simply another aspect. Addressing both spiritual and physical concerns, O'Gaea provides thoughtful advice on a variety of topics from theology and ritual to spells and reflections on reincarnation, along with practical advice on the Hospital ritual and how to handle funeral arrangements. Blending common sense, Wiccan theology, experience and compassion here is a unique exploration of society's last great taboo.
In Wicca, death is known as "Passing Through the Gates," and to do it well, or to help a loved one do it well, is recognized as one of life's most fruitful opportunities for change and spiritual growth. The energies aroused by death can be directed to good purpose, bringing healing to ourselves and to our world. In this book, you will discover the unique perspective that wicca brings to death and dying; integrating spiritual concerns with practical ones, and offering new ways of dealing with one of life's deepest and most generative challenges.
