In folklore and mythology the Bridge Of Souls is a heavenly path by which the souls of the dead travel to their afterlife.
The Milky was is commonly knows as "The Road Of The Souls" and has been regarded as a river of spirit light since ancient times.
The rainbow is also knows as a bridge of souls in mythology. Ancient Norseman believed that Odin built a heavenly palace that could only be reached by a rainbow. The red colour in the rainbow symbolizes fire which would consume any unworthy souls.
In parts of Germany and Austria many believe that children's souls are led up the rainbow to heaven. In some parts of England it is considered a sin to point at a rainbow.
Many tribes in North and South America, Australia and Africa believe the rainbow is associated with the snake and is called the "Serpent Rainbow".
Aborigines in Australia believe the Serpent Rainbow is linked to rain, fertility and pools of water which are thought to contain the spirits of unborn children.
