- When people think of reincarnation, they always come up against a very difficult question: if, in the beginning, there were so few people on the face of the Earth, and now there are so many, where did all these new souls come from?

Brida held her breath. She had asked herself this question many times.

- The answer is simple, - said Wicca, after pausing to savour the young woman's eager silence. - In certain reincarnations, we divide into two. Our souls divide as do crystals and stars, cells and plants.those new souls are in turn transformed into two and so, within a few generations, we are scattered over a large part of Earth.
We form part of what alchemists call the Anima Mundi, the soul of the World, - said Wicca. - The truth is that if the Anima Mundi were merely to keep dividing, it would keep growing, but it would also become gradually weaker. That is why, as well as dividing into two, we also find ourselves. (...)
In each life, we feel a mysterious obligation to find at least one of those Soulmates.

- But how will I know who my Soulmate is?

- By taking risks. By risking failure, dissapointment, disillusion, but never ceasing in your Search. As long as you keep looking, you will triumph in the end.

- Is it possible to meet more than one Soulmate in each life?

- Yes, - though Wicca with a certain bitterness. And when it happens, the heart is divided, and the result is pain and suffering. Yes, we can meet three or four Soulmates, because we are many and we are scattered. The young woman was asking the right questions, but she had to avoid answering them. (...)
- We are responsible for the whole Earth because we do not know where they might be, those Soulmates we were from the beginning of time. If they are well, then we, too, will be happy. If they are not well, we will suffer, however unconsciously, a portion of their pain. Above all, though, we are responsible for re-encountering, at least once in every incarnation, the Soulmate who is sure to cross our path. Even if it is only for a matter of moments, because those moments bring with them a Love so intense that it justifies the rest of our days.
We can also allow our Soulmate to pass us by, without accepting him or her, or even noticing. Then we will need another incarnation in order to find that Soulmate. And because of our selfishness, we will be condemned to the worst torture humankind ever invented for itself: loneliness.
