Summerland – Definition

This was an odd term which was introduced to modern paganism from the Theosophists and Swedenborg.

It is considered to be the pinnacle of human spiritual achievement in the afterlife; that is, it is the highest level, or ‘sphere’, of the afterlife we can hope to enter.

Leadbeater suggested Summerland was a place where a soul of good standing or moral action could await their next incarnation.

It can appear as singular or plural and with or without the definite article “the”: Summerland, The Summerland or The Summerlands.
