Since the earliest civilizations, humanity has wondered about what remains after death and the existence of an invisible world inhabited by spirits, deities, angels, or other supernatural beings. These beliefs have given rise to countless myths, funeral rites, and religious traditions aimed at explaining the passage to the afterlife, communication with the deceased, or the presence of invisible entities. From one culture to another, these representations reveal as many answers to the great questions of existence as they do worldviews.
An exploration of the world's spiritual traditions
This volume of the Library of Esotericism offers a vast journey through the multiple representations of the spirit world. Drawing on the work of researchers, testimonies from practitioners, richly documented essays, and nearly 400 works, it explores beliefs related to death, the afterlife, rebirth, and invisible beings. The reader will discover the diversity of spiritual figures, from ghosts to demons, angels to celestial creatures, as well as their place in the religious, artistic, and esoteric traditions of many civilizations.

An accessible and abundantly illustrated reference to discover the extraordinary diversity of traditions dedicated to spirits, the realms of the afterlife, and the great questions surrounding the destiny of the soul.
