Me personally?Nope. I have a downright boring and almost atheistic view of the afterlife.I believe the soul is in the DNA. I pass my soul on to my children, my neices and nephews, etc. It's in the bloodlines. I attain eternal life through this and through my "fame", my deeds in life. I will live as long as I am remembered. I live on in my deeds to other people, in the ways I contribute to thier life and who they are. I believe I go to the ancestors. That I will protect my families luck. Refer to above about living on through my children and bloodlines.Not all Heathens believe this. Some believe that you go to the hall of a god, or to the realm of Hel both of which I do not subscribe to outside of those possibly going to Odin if chosen or dedicated to him. But I'm not so it doesn't really apply to me.
