Changes

Most spirits are transported by [[reaper]]s after death to the next destination. Those who refuse to move on can become [[ghost]]s or [[Vengeful Spirits|vengeful spirits]]<ref name="two01">[[2.01 In My Time of Dying]]</ref>

[[Demons]] are formed in [[Hell]] by the corruption of a human soul over time. [[Lucifer]] made [[Lilith]] into the first demon in order to mock [[God]]'s creation of humanity.<ref name="four21">[[4.21 When the Levee Breaks]]</ref> While in Hell, [[Dean]] eventually broke under [[Alastair]]'s torture and started torturing souls himself, and so likely would have been transformed without [[Heaven]]'s intervention.<ref name="four10">[[4.10 Heaven and Hell]]</ref> [[Angel Lore|Angels]] are able to rescue souls from Hell, though this generally requires a massive incursion,<ref name="four01">[[4.01 Lazarus Rising]]</ref> but a human can rescue a soul as well if they can sneak into and out of [[Hell]] with said soul.<ref name="eight19" />

[[Father Max Thompson]] developed a way to wash away the corruption a demon endures during its time in Hell and restores their humanity through [[Demon Cure|a ritual]] of purified or sanctified blood.<ref name="eight22" /><ref name="eight23" /><ref name="ten03" />

Another destination for souls is [[Heaven]], although the criteria for entrance depends on the person's choices in life. [[Raphael]] mentions devoutness as one possibility, which trumps all others, such as in Ken Lay's case.<ref name="six20">[[6.20 The Man Who Would Be King]]</ref> In Heaven, each soul has its own version of Heaven where he or she relives their happiest memories. According to [[Ash]] these Heavens are individual, except in the case of soulmates, who share the same [[Heaven]], which [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] appeared to share as they were easily able to travel to and form each other's happy memories. Personal Heaven's are grouped alphabetically, and divided into individual sections pertaining to the deceased names.

Most souls cannot leave their own allotted space, although Ash worked out a way to move between them freely.<ref name="five16">[[5.16 Dark Side of the Moon]]</ref> [[Bobby Singer]] was able to find his Heaven's escape hatch and wander the halls of Heaven where the angels perform their maintenance duties on the individual Heavens. Jack Kline's nature as a [[Nephilim]], allowed him to realize something was wrong in his personal Heaven and exit it when the [[Cosmic Entity]] from [[the Empty]] invaded to retrieve Jack.

[[Purgatory]] is a spiritual realm where the souls of supernatural creatures such as [[vampires]] and [[Shapeshifter|shapeshifters]] go after they die. This place is not connected with [[Heaven]] or [[Hell]], though [[Crowley]] and the rogue [[reaper]] [[Ajay]] have said that it is Hell adjacent. After resurrecting [[Samuel Campbell]], Crowley has him tracking down high-ranking creatures, specifically [[Alpha]]s, so that he can question them about the location of Purgatory, which he wants for "development purposes." Though in truth, Crowley and [[Castiel]] had joined forces to find Purgatory in order to get the souls, which would aid Castiel in his war against [[Raphael]]. When [[Dean]] kills [[Leviathan]] leader [[Dick Roman]], both he and Castiel get transported there without dying due to their proximity to Dick Roman when he was stabbed with the righteous bone of a mortal.

Lily was able to use this same magic to cure [[Jack Kline]]'s condition after his [[resurrection]]. Like with Lily, using Enochian magic burned away a piece of Jack's soul, but Lily stated that it won't be anything he will miss as long as its only used to sustain his body.<ref name="fourteen08" /> In a desperate moment, Jack was able to use the magic keeping him alive to tap into the power of his soul like Lily did. When Jack used this power to disintegrate five attacking [[monsters]], it manifested in a manner similar to Jack using his powers while he still had his grace. Like with Lily's use of Enochian magic, Jack burned away another piece of his soul to accomplish this feat.<ref name="fourteen10" /> On another occasion, Jack was able to use the power of his soul to [[exorcism|exorcise]] the [[archangel]] [[Michael (Apocalypse World)|Michael]] out of [[Rowena]] and destroy him, leaving behind only Michael's [[grace]] which Jack consumed to restore his original powers.<ref name="fourteen14" /> However, doing so burned away a great deal of Jack's soul, possibly all of it.<ref name="fourteen15" />
