The Wheel of Life is one of the important Pillars of the Catologian Faith, as Catologians believe that when they die, their spirit goes on a the journey to the Goddess of Death and Life, Germania.
The Wheel
Catologians believe that when they die, their spirit stands before Germania, who uses the Wheel of Life to see what the death's future will be. There are several possible outcomes for those who have died.
Reincarnation
The most common outcome for those whose spirits aren't that old is reincarnation: the believe that a micronationalist will come back to life, in the same form or another. It is not unusual that those who reincarnated still have memories of their past lives.
It is also said that, depending on their actions in past lives, one reincarnates in a higher class, better living situation or can end up in bad social situation (lower class, poor household,...). Reincarnation in the form of animals is not unheard of and often seen as a punishments by Germania.
Ghosts
When the Wheel and Germania decides that a person is still needed in normal life, She grants them the opportunity to go back as a ghost. This can be to fulfil a task that has to be fulfilled before that person can come back to Wheel. When successfully, the ghost can enter Myxosea.
Mines of Afterlife
The Mines of Afterlife are the mines that are overseen by Germania Herself. In those Mines work those that are heavily punished for the bad things they did in their life (not necessarily what we, humans, see as 'bad', but things like offending the Gods).
The Mines are seen as the realm of Germania, where she rules over the death and does with them what they want. Her punishments are often cited as cruel and harsh, but necessary to keep the balance between Good and Bad.
Myxosea
The name Myxosea is given for what is known as the heavenly paradise: a world in which spirits and gods live side by side in peace for the rest of Time. This is seen as the ultimate goal of a creature to reach.
