Questionnaire to help with my Dissertation :)

Hi there everyone.

I'm currently writing a dissertation for the final year of my art degree on the representation of the afterlife in Christianity compared with Neopaganism, as fun as that sounds, I'm really struggling with the Neopagan side of things as there are no spiritual texts or anything really to follow, so I'm fundamentally relying on primary research. I have a few questions I'm kind of scared to ask, incase I'm stepping on any toes but it would be great if I could get some answers from anybody who embraces the Neopagan faith :)

Again, I am terrified I insult anyone or something so please let me know., but any kind of response would be greatly appreciated! If you want you can email answers to hollycanflyy@hotmail,co.uk

Thanks! :)
