Witches believe that we have many lives and between them we return to the summerlands, a resting place where we review the lessons we have learned in the life we have just completed and select the lessons to be learnt in the life to come. When we speak of reincarnation we do not mean that we come back as the same person but rather that our spirit is born again. Whilst it can be interesting to research previous incarnations, and the information we acquire may illuminate aspects of our current lives, it is necessary to remember that the personal responsibility we also believe in means that we cannot blame our past for our current problems. We must live in the present and work towards achievements in this life.
