Liminal Spaces in Witchcraft

First of all, what is a liminal space? A liminal space refers to a place or time that is in a period of transition between two phases. These are usually places where reality feels altered because you are neither moving forward or backward, like a rest stop. The word liminal originates from the Latin word limens, meaning threshold. These places often give off a sense that time stands still and that you are experiencing some sort of reality shift. 

        In magic and witchcraft these spaces are considered to be the boundary between our world and the other, it is known as “the in-between”. These places are considered areas of great magic because it is believed this is where the veil is thin. These places are great for divination, spirit work, meditation and astral travel; they are ideal for hedge witchcraft.

Times & Spaces of Liminality:

crossroads manmade or natural

river, creek or lake shores/ beaches

hallway/corridor/stairwells/landings/doorways

graveyards

dawn, dusk, afternoon, midnight

valleys

forest glades

many more!

      Samhain/Halloween is considered the best time to communicate with spirits and faeries because of its liminality, it is a time of transition between autumn and winter. Irish folklore tells that this is the day faeries and ghosts come out to play because of the veil thinning. The equinoxes and sabbats like Beltane and Imbolc are also days of liminality because the time of day and night are equal (equinoxes) or it is a transition between seasons.  

       Mental states of liminality are also times of spirit communication. While being in a meditative state we are in a state of transition between our concious and sub-concious minds, this is where we sometimes experience astral projection or messages from spirits. People often experience spirit while falling asleep because this is another state of liminality. 

     In my craft I often practice in liminality in order to connect with the faerie realms.

Is it liminal enough

Rain Walk- mhw #1

I have decided to document a series where I chronicle the walks I take for my mental health. Let us begin for this past Saturday when it was raining.

View from near by neighborhood. Blurred for cool effects and to make the pretty lights stand out.

Who doesn’t love a good walk in the rain? This was purely spur of the moment but something in me was just telling me that I NEEDED to be out in that rain walking around. Especially since it was starting to slow down.

It’s been rough ngl. Also the feeling of the rain sprinkling in your skin is 20/10. Another 20/10 is walking in the rain while ALSO listening to a liminal space playlist. I highly recommend it.Also the fog starting to drop in was another 20/10.

The rain in a way can feel like a liminal space because of how empty the roads can be. Liminal spaces are shown to be rather lonely which was sort of the case on my walk. Just occasional car would pass by. Now I’m thinking about liminal rooms with a rain landscapes. That sounds cool.

I started to notice on my walk there are only specific types of people that really take walks on the rain:

Big Dog Walkers

Smokers

The Mentally Ill Like Me

The Occasional Avid Elderly Walker

Of course they all make perfect sense for different reasons, but if there’s anyone I’d prefer the pass it’s the smoker as they always have a unique sense of style. The smoker I passed had a striped shirt and green hair. Kinda like that one Danganronpa character whose name I can’t remember.

And another great thing about walks in the rain is you’ll find little friends on the sidewalk as pictured below:

Pictured are Mx. Snail and the Earthworm. Couldn’t find the earthworm on my second loop around so I hope they’re okay. The Snail went to hide in their shell and I respect that. Some people are just camera shy and you can’t change that.

Well, that’s all I have left to say on the matter. I’ll probably take another walk tomorrow, been wanting to explore this canyon.

Allow me to provide a song recc from my playlist. Lemme know if you have any you’d like to give me for my playlist!

anoooooother art fight piece for a mutual!

Hhhhhhhi guys!! Been feeling super sleepy, busy, and sick, so that's a triple combo!!! Wowza! Anyways, I drew a guy into a hallway I found. His full name is Fred :]

Liminal Spaces:

Places where the veil is thin due to reality feeling distorted. These are usually spaces of transitional energy and are excellent for meditation, divination, astral work, etc.

Examples of Liminal Spaces:

the beach at night

any time after midnight but before sunrise

abandoned places

cemeteries

tunnels

underneath bridges

convenience stores after midnight

empty parking lots at night

airport terminals

waiting rooms

laundromats

empty classrooms/schools

*Reminder*: if you choose to visit any of these places please remember to make your safety your top priority. Liminal spaces are meant to feel like reality is distorted, but if you have any actual bad feelings or fears about a place, listen to them.

A large concentration of flower-like pseudoflora has been found in the Far Plains. Upon closer inspection, the cause of this has been determined to be a previously undiscovered entity type. These entities spread a propagating material over large areas.

Worse, underground children's play places at museums. In my home city there was one with huge fake food as climbing structure.

underground parking garages are criminally underutilized as a horror setting. windowless curving concrete labyrinths stretching up and down and all around you, that's some Backrooms shit

This is my dog lol
