Heaven and Hell (and Limbo and Purgatory) | Otherkin General Discussion | Forums

Huh… you know, I'm not sure. I have vague recollections of angelics talking about Heaven, but nothing specific is leaping to mind and I think they were mostly in memory-mode, not access-now mode. (Maybe one of the problems of angel-kin is “generally, can't get back there right now”?)

*nods* Every discussion of it that I've seen has been angelkin remembering what heaven was like.  Which may provide evidence for the “fallen” theory.

Demons and Hell… hum. Again, I feel like I want to say “oh yeah, I've heard some people talking about it somewhere” but I can't come up with any examples. Granted I don't talk to a lot of demons.

I've talked with more than a few, but none have ever been judeo-christian demons that I can recall.  Most of the ones I've run into have come from other worlds, and consider themselves “demon” due to their appearance resembling depictions of demons in art and myth.  Though some I'd argue more closely resemble Disney's Gargoyles from the descriptions I've heard.  I haven't heard of any demon-kin actually claiming hell as their residence.  

Maybe the beings that rule these realms are powerful enough that mere us-es can't breach the borders without invitation, and no invitations are forthcoming?

*nods* I'd assume so, though that it is odd that even the beings native to these realms frequently can't access them.

Perhaps it's evidence of specific exile (rather than mistake, willing travel, or being sent)? I really don't know. Interesting question.

*nods* That's definitely one explanation for it.  Though I supposed it could still be “being sent”, if they're not allowed back because they're not done here yet.  *shrugs* I don't know either.
