Aradia originally taught the concept of four "worlds" or Realms of Existence. These were the Physical, Lunar, Solar and Stellar. According to her Teachings, the Physical World was the dwelling place of those spirits/souls who were not prepared to dwell within the Higher Realms. The Lunar World was connected to the Physical, and was a temporary dwelling place which served to revitalize the soul between incarnations. It is interesting to note, that the old legends say that the light of the moon grows as it receives those souls who are depar- ting the physical life (until it is full) and then the light wanes as those souls reincarnate.
The Solar World served to also revitalize the soul, but in addition it "forged" a new body for the soul to inhabit. Then the soul could enter into the Higher Realms and abide there. The Stellar World was considered the Final Realm where the soul would come to dwell. This was the "original" Realm from whence we had first come (according to her Teachings).
Through the functions of these Four Worlds, the souls "work their way" up through various levels, as they evolve. In each World a type of body is required, through which the soul can be animated and per- form the tasks which are necessary to that realm of existence (thus a physical body for the Physical Plane, an astral body for the Lunar Plane, and so on).
