lynettemiles I have read that Baltic peoples believed that the spirit after death inhabited another thing - tree, stone etc. Is this a Pruss belief? Did Pruss believe in an afterlife? Is re-incarnation possible for Pruss? Can Pruss communicate with the ancestors? I know I am nosy. Thanks anyway.

Nērtiks Soul can travels to Underworld, but via Sun trajectory in day and via Milky Way in night. Then can meet ancestors and stay there with them, but also return onto Earth like tree or bird or some other incarnation, depending on nobility in past life.

Very siplifying, I see it like this

lynettemiles Thanks for this information.

As I understand your reply, the dead soul can travel to the Underworld and can return if desired. Can it travel both ways at will or does is have to stay on earth if it returns here?

You said it depends on nobility while alive. So a soul that lived a noble life can return as a more beautiful thing, like a bird? Is this so?

Do the living communicate with the ancestors? If the departed is residing in a tree, can the living communicate with the departed soul?

I'm nosy again.

No, there are special periods in year when souls from Underworld visit Earth. In these days we can meet them and invite them to feast, what we do celebrating our holidays - Wīlinis and second day of Paskin (Easter - it's christian holiday, but visiting the graves comes from our native faith)

So a soul that lived a noble life can return as a more beautiful thing, like a bird? Is this so?



Yes, I think so

If the departed is residing in a tree, can the living communicate with the departed soul?



Yes, but You can't think about it as about word communication. When You go to the forest and listen to the trees or sound of stream, You begin to see answers for Your questions and solutions of Your problems. Remember that it is impossible to talk about most important thinks loudly, or using human words. We have to learn to listen our Earth, our forests, our lakes, they will answer our most important questions.

lynettemiles Thanks very much for all that information, Nertis.

That makes very much sense - it is how it happens in my life.
