Witchcract XVIII

What do I believe happens to us when we die?
 
Oh, this is a fun question for me and I have given it some thought.
Once upon a time I was at my grandfather’s funeral, plotting out a curse to put on his soul. He killed my grandmother, destroyed my family, and I wanted revenge only a witch can do.
As I was updating the plot of the cures to my Facebook group, while at the funeral, a question was brought up. Part of my curse was I had brought 2 quarters with me, tokens to give to the Ferry Man to take over the river Stxy. I had leaned over his dead body and told him was gonna burn in hell for killing Grandma and I held his tokens for the Ferry Man, and that he needed both to cross over. My plan was to spend one quarter at the store and chuck the other into the ferry point of a local river.
So, the question of the curse was if my grandfather didn’t believe in the Greek myth of the afterlife, would the curse still work?
And that lead me to my own idea of the afterlife.
I think we start a journey after we die. We go through all the trials, St Peter at the pearly gates, Anubis with the scales, the Ferry Man at the river.
Every culture has a theory and I think they are all right and all happen to us. Like a video game, we go through each one until we hit where we are supposed to be.
