Avernus

Avernus (ah-VEHR-nuhs) The dark realm of the Astral Plane - referred to as the seven worlds of Avernus, Hades, or hell - where many Souls who have spent their earth lives in evil deeds must spend time.

While no one is purely good or purely evil, many who border on the edge of evil, or who are tainted with some evil, must spend time in this dark world. They later reincarnate into life again for the opportunity of regaining what has been lost in their spiritual unfoldment.

Once one has established himself and started working toward the good of existence, he will no longer spend time in these lower Astral planes or any of the underworld planes.
