We’ve all heard about it, but what is Heaven, really? In this video, we explore Dante Alighieri’s Paradiso—the final part of The Divine Comedy—where he takes us on an epic journey through Heaven’s nine sacred spheres. A sequel to Inferno and Purgatorio, Paradiso is a breathtaking vision of the afterlife, filled with divine light, angelic beings, and deep spiritual revelations.
But what exactly happens in Dante’s Heaven? What are the Nine Spheres? And how does Dante’s vision compare to other ideas of the afterlife? Join me as I break down Dante’s journey through Heaven and explain the mystical and theological meanings behind Paradiso. It's going to get pretty strange!
I hope you enjoy this video, and thank you for 861K subscribers :)

P.S. Helpful PSA: I've had to gloss over finer story beats within this video, so I have included a link to Paradiso below!
