No, The eaters of Bloodmoon do not believe in an afterlife, there is merely this life and the one unseen. Using Bloodmoon opens up the vision into the other realm. Death does not exist, it is merely a state of mind. One thing that many do not realize is that Ven is still alive but has gone inside the other realm, the 'forest of the Green hind'. This means that she is lost but still can be contacted if she is ever found again.
The first plane is that of the forest and the home of the Green hind, once meeting the deer you will follow it on a journey. The Hind is tricky though and will lead you all about. There are several other planes, the Fox, the Bear, the Crow, but they are difficult to get to and most people spend their entire journey in the forest. Glaumring hasnt even been beyond the forest, but there has been others who have travelled further out. If you ever wonder why anyone would know there were other levels its because sometimes they can speak to the Green hind and other times they cannot, depending on what lesson is being taught. The Green hind will sometimes tell ultimate truth and then in the next sentence the deepest darkest lies. The Hind is the gate keeper and purposefully acts this way to make sure that not just anyone travels beyond the forest.
Lady Ven founded the faith and rose quickly in its knowledge. We believe that she ate the Bloodmoon and wandered following the Green hind and when she was captured knew that she was only able to pass over into the next level without her body. The D'Harans have unknowingly helped her to achieve this goal and to help our faith beyond words, for very few would willingly sacrifice their lives to test the theory. We now know that Lady Ven did survive and she is somewhere on the otherside of the forest. She may have made it to the very end. All Glaumring and the other followers know is what the Hind tells them on their sacred journies. (IE:Whether it is truth or a lie that is for our IG characters to discover.)
The fruit is merely a tool to access other realms beyond the earthly, it is like a sword, or hammer, it has a single purpose to allow mankind to see and do what has long been forgotten by their kind. It is a reminder that we are not the kings of the world and that even we are humbled by nature and blind without its teachings. It is the ultimate way of saying " For all your kingdoms, your battles and your gods you are merely blind mewling children, the truth is here and now and you cannot see it, eat this fruit and for a moment glimpse the mind of god'
