Heavens of other traditions: the Shinto High Plain of Heaven, Takamagahara, the Yoruba Orun and the Egyptian House of Song. A realm belongs here when its cited article describes a heaven of one of these traditions. It excludes the heavens of the great scriptural religions. Examples in the atlas include Takamagahara, Orun and The House of Song. The group is residual, so a heaven that has no group of its own tradition is admitted here after the other heaven groups have refused it.
