A Bridge to the Other Side is a collection of articles and
traditional folk tales that deal with our feelings about and
attitudes towards Death, both our own death and that of those
nearest and dearest to us. A bridge between earth and heaven, this
world and the next, features in the mythology of many different
peoples. For example, in Norse legends, Bifrost or Bilrost is a
burning rainbow bridge between Midgard, the world, and Asgard, the
realm of the gods. The bridge is known as Bilrost in the Poetic
Edda; compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional
sources, and as Bifrost in the Prose Edda; written in the 13th
century by Snorri Stureuson. Both the Poetic Edda and the Prose
Edda alternately refer to the bridge as Asbru (Old Norse Esirs
means bridge). The Persians believed in a bridge between earth and
paradise too. In his prayers the penitent in his confession would
say: I am wholly without doubt in the existence of the Mazdayacnian
faith; in the coming of the resurrection of the latter body; in the
stepping over the bridge Chinvat; as well as in the continuance of
paradise.
