Can someone please tell me if in Hinduism, after the cycle of rebirth has been finished and the soul reaches a higher plane and becomes liberated, what is that state called?

The part about the fall is in Genesis, of course. It's just pieced together with Lucifer's story by logic. -putters off to research- Okay, part of it is in Isaiah 14. Part is in Rev 12, especially verse 7.

Hmm...maybe we should start a Silmarillion fangirl thread. Then you two can fight over Feanor, and Ruinel and SGH can fight over Finrod.

I like Revelation...I think it's my favorite book of the Bible.

Someone told me that in the Wiccan religion, the Goddess bears a child with the God; the God dies; the child becomes the God; the Goddess and the God have a child; the cycle continues.
I was just wondering if any Wiccans can verify this?
