The poem gives the concept of death in Wicca; death is only the beginning in the mind of a Wiccan. Reincarnation is a main idea behind the belief. Death is only the beginning and death is never the end. Reincarnation leads to the rebirth of the soul. The aim of reincarnation is not to escape life on earth, but to rejoice it. Wicca is a Pagan religion that centers around Mother Earth and nature, itself. Pentagrams are often used in rituals and are often misunderstood towards Satanic worship. Coinciding with Wiccan link of nature in its worship, the four seasons and the four directions are included with worship. Wicca honors many feminine divinities: the Triple Goddess. The Triple Goddess links the virgin, the mother, and the old, wise crone together with life.

Wiccan believes that reincarnation occurs after we die our souls come back over and over again until it reaches enlightment. It is a shapeless form that moves from one body to the next. They believe we are placed on this earth to learn on lesson and once we learn that lesson then it is our time to die. When we die we meet with the people we knew what we believe is heaven but in a place called summerland. Love is something that is being carried through this poem, and you are going to be meeting your loved ones in summerland just as the wiccans believe and same in this poem.

Wiccan religion has a strong teaching of love and learning. In life they are suppose to get along with others and spend this time peacefully. When a Wiccan person is passing it is not a sad time because they believe in reincarnation. Their loved one is only passing on for a short time to learn and then come back. There is no hell, punishment, or judgment after death only a place called Summerland which resembles Heaven in most religions. In Summerland you learn from your life and past lives to see how you could improve. After you've learned, you await your time to go back and be reincarnated. The goal is that your soul can live and learn all it can. The poem shows that the religion has a strong focus on harmony and love and that death is not a time to mourn because that soul has learned all it can in this life and is going to move onto the next.

In the wiccin religion one of their main beliefs is the idea of reincarnation. They believe in practicing alone or in a small group. They believe they are placed on earth to learn an lession that will be useful. Wiccins believe that they will continue to be reincarnated untill they have nothing left to learn. The poem talks about never being alone and moving from love to love. In the wiccin religon they are moved from life to life, or love in one life to love in the next. They do not believe in a heaven or a hell. The closest thing to heaven in Summerland, a place where the beloved wait.

In the Wiccan belief Wiccans honor gods and goddesses and practice magic. They have religious festivals and can either be a solo witch or belong to covens or groups of witches. They also believe that people should “strive to live in harmony with others and themselves, and with the planet as a whole”. Most importantly after death Wiccans are extremely strong believers in reincarnation. Although Just about every Wiccan believes this way the great thing about this way of life is that every Wiccan can believe in something different. In most cases Wiccans believe that the spirit is reborn and eventually meets up with those close to them previously. The goal of reincarnation is to experience life over and over again until they have soaked up all they can learn. Once this has happened the spirit enters a “blissful realm” known as Summerland by most where the souls share information of all they have learned. There is no hell in this belief although some souls do reincarnate into plants or animals. Many Wiccans are women who have found that most religions are male-dominated. This Poem speaking of love and not being alone reveals some of the information learned from the Wiccans. It is saying that when you die “you are not alone and the beloved dead await you, you go from love into love” as in, your soul goes to those you are close to and you are reincarnated to a life and love just like the one you have left.

The believers of Wicca believe in life after death and how their spirits are reborn. These people also believe in witchcraft and magic. They believe that people are reincarnated after death so they can learn a lesson on earth. After many steps of incarnation you die and leave to a place called Summerland, which is somewhat like heaven. These people believe that there is no Hell. You keep learning even if you are in Summerland and keep dying to gain experience in different lifestyles.

Wiccans are different in the way that they believe in magic. They believe that the human mind is capable of things that science cannot prove to us yet. This magic is the basis of their religion. People refer to themselves as "witches". Their god is referred to as Cernunnos or Herne, which mean "horned one". Wiccans believe in reincarnation, or having your soul return to earth to live again. Wiccans tell of a place called "Summerland", which is their place that they go to after their life on earth. Here they reflect on the lessons they have learned during their life on earth. Wiccans believe that the purpose of the soul on earth is to learn lessons.The Wiccan is introduced back to their loved ones here at Summerland. This is where the poem fits in. The poem speaks of "the beloved dead waiting for you". These are the close friends and family that the Wiccan has yet to see and meet back up with. The part about "you go from love into love" is saying that during life on earth, they had love, but there will also be a continuation of that love in "Summerland" while they are with their dead loved ones. After pondering about the lessons learned on earth, the soul can go back to earth as a reincarnated soul. Once there are no more lessons to be learned, it is said that the Wiccan stays in Summerland.

What wicca believes in is reincarnation; the rebirth of life is a major part of wicca. Once a body is no longer gunctioning the soul is relocated to another body. Death is not the ending and it is not looked upon in a negative way. This is why the poem was written with words that made you feel comfortable. The reason they want to be reincarnated is to learn everything over and over again so it so it takes over them. The quote that is given makes death not a scary event and it can help you learn more about your own life.

In the poem it speaks about death and how your loved ones are waiting for you. They could possibly be waiting for you on earth because the wiccan believe in reincarnation or on the other hand your loved ones could be waiting for you in the after life. Wiccan believe in initially being reunited with friends and family they had on earth. The wiccan also heavily teach reincarnation. After death, the spirit is reborn and will meet again those who he/she/it had close relationships with in previous life, or lives. They believe in reincarnation so that the soul can return in a new form to be re-taught the lessons it previously learned. They also teach that reincarnation is the instrument through which our souls are perfected. They are very spiritual people and their beliefs are somewhat similar to Buddhist beliefs. In the poem, it also speaks of love opening the passage way to the after life. When the soul realizes it was loved it then feels free to pass.

Wicca is a Pagan Witchcraft tradition. Gerald Brosseau Gardner (1884-1964) created the 'Book of Shadows', a book of rituals and spells compiled by of one of Wicca's major figures. Gerald Gardner claimed to have been initiated in 1939 into a coven of Witches who met in the New Forest in Hampshire. Wicca honours the Divine in the forms of the Triple Goddess, whose aspects of Virgin, Mother, and Wise Woman or Crone are associated with the waxing, full and waning phases of the Moon, and as the Horned God. The God is known as Cernunnos or Herne, both of which mean 'Horned One'. Wicca teaches reincarnation. After death, the spirit is reborn and will meet again those with whom it had close personal ties in previous lives.
The joy of life to a Wiccan is to enjoy experiencing life on Earth again and again. When the spirit ceases to reincarnate, it remains in a blissful realm known as 'The Land of Youth' or the 'Summerland'. The Wiccan belief is very similar to Budhist belief.
The poem is about the love that the dead person receives from the mourners and also the spirits waiting in the afterlife as well. It also means that you are never alone and that you will soon be reincarnated and will be with familiar spirits from your previous life.

I think this poem is actually talking about the god and goddess that wickens believe in. Because they said that sometime you have to wait till the world is ready for your soul to come back. And in the waiting time you go and are with the celestial god and goddess reviewing your life. And also the beloved dead could be some of the friends you have made threw out your lives that are also in that in between stage. And the love that will carry you threw to your new way is the love of the celestial spirits and your own loved ones both in heaven and the ones on earth that are waiting for you to return.
