Liminal Spaces in Witchcraft

'A liminal space' refers to a place or time that is a period of transition between two phases. These are usually places where reality feels altered because you are neither here nor there.

The word "liminal" originates feom the Latin word, "limens", meaning threshold. These places often give off a sense of time standing still, a reality shift, or slipping in into a different dimension.

In magick and witchcraft these spaces are considered to be the boundary between our world and another, known as the 'In-Between'. These places are considered areas of great and powerful magick, since the veil is so thin there. As such, they are great spaces for divination, spirit work, ritual magick, hedge-riding or astral travel, and meditation. Liminal spaces are believed to be neutral/grey zones, undesignated and unclaimed, which makes them fantastic spots to make contact/work with entities like the Fae, elementals, the dead, spirits, djinn, demons and gods.

Examples of Liminal Spaces

• Crossroads

• Caves

• Rivers and creeks

• Shores and beaches

• Hallways, corridors, stairwells, landings

• Doorways and windows

• Graveyards, cemeteries, and burial mounds

• Fairs, festivals, and marketplaces

• Hedge rows

• Abandoned or empty places

• The edges of vallies, forests, and glades

• Swamps, bogs, and marshes

• During dawn/dusk, the afternoon and midnight

• Mirrors

Shadow Work – What is the Shadow?

The shadow is the darker aspects to our personality.

It is the negative emotions and impulses we experience. It is what we deny about ourselves and what we are truly capable of. Whatever is perceived as inferior or unacceptable will become a part of the shadow. Anything that does not agree with who we project ourselves out to be will dive into this dark, hidden side.

The personal shadow self represents the parts of us we no longer claim to be our own, including positive qualities we have dismissed.

The aspects of who we are and what is thrown away or simply dismissed do not go anywhere. We can deny these qualities for as long as we like to, but they still exist as part of our unconscious.

The unconscious is everything we are not conscious of. Examining and becoming aware of your personal shadow self is discovering what you as a person are actually capable of and accepting it for what it is. There is no way to destroy the shadow self because it is in part pieces to who we truly are on the inside. It stays with us and when any troubling situations happen the shadow is there.

🎃Wheel of Halloween🎃

There's a post of a tweet saying that every 31st of the month should be a Halloween, and you know what? I'm a Halloween Witch. I'm an Idolater. I'm an urban techno witch who lives an air conditioned life, can't stand nature bigger than a park or local landscaping, and hates leaving the city except to drive to another damn city.

I have been struggling to connect to the Wheel of the Year or the Solstices/Equinoxes for freaking years.

But a cycle of Halloweens?

That.

That I can fucking do.

So, without further ado, I present the shit I will be actually celebrating. Ya don't have to join me, but I will be posting about it for those that wanna follow along, with options and cutouts for those who don't want to or can't do the more party elements.

With luck, I'll pick up on August 31st and go from there, if not, I'll start with actual Halloween.

Halloween

October 31st

It's muthafucking Halloween. I have ideas and will post about them more as we get closer, but you know what this one is.

New Year's Eve

December 31st

This one actually also exists, but I have plans for tying it to the January 31st one to bookend the year. The primary purpose of this Eve is gratitude and sharing the good things from the year before, casting off the trappings of the old year, and to bring the new one in with luck and prosperity.

Candle's Eve

January 31st

One month from the casting out of the old year, it's time to set things for the new. Cleansing and cleaning, setting intentions (not resolutions) for the year to come, making the Mask of the Year to call on who I aspire to be, burning the intentions set last year with last years candle, and blessing a candle to burn this years intentions next year are all features. Food and drink suggestions available when I actually post this up.

Hallow Ides

March 31st

Couple of these have fun names, and this is one of them. It's a party holiday, involving a picnic and a special cake/cupcakes/muffins.

The costume element is that I'll swap clothes or looks with someone I'm celebrating with (or dress up as someone else if celebrating solo).

There's a drinking element (non-alcoholic is fine) that results in a stack o' good luck charms.

And for my trick, I can and will sing the filthiest songs, tell the dirtiest jokes, read a romance novel or erotica, just go ham on the bawdy shit.

Alternatives for ace and non-sexing folk will be forthcoming in the relevant post, but it's my damn Wheel and I'm doing bawdy shit for myself.

Blessed Eve

May 31st

Not a bonfire person, but I'm definitely gonna have a cookout and grill up some burgers! Also a neat drink and cookies that both double as offerings!

Flower masks and crowns are involved to hide from the spring spirits that might fux me upa.

There's a Blessing Bouquet that goes up early, is used to exorcise and re-bless my property/house, and then is ceremonially burned.

An ash blessing to seal the prosperity into my house ties the whole thing off.

Fortune's Eve

July 31st

This one pretty heavily revolves around a ritual game of betting and chance that I came up with based on a cool concept tied into the holiday I'm aiming at. Game generates lucky candy and a good luck charm.

Hella apples involved including a ceremonial apple and cider. Veils worn for the blindness of luck, and a strong theme of having a game day.

Neewollah

August 31st

I'm actually pretty stoked for this one, and will do a more expansive post on it later this week. I really hope I can pull this together in time this year.

Idea is a bit Opposite Day, a bit of LiarWeen vibe.

Trick the cosmos into taking away the bad shit and giving me good shit through a ritual lying ceremony, wearing a mask of duality to further confuse the issue. Ritual ash anointing to lock things down and ensure I get the stuff I want and ward off the shit I got rid of.

Candy (obvs) but I (and anyone celebrating with me) has to ask, and the person giving it has to make a point of saying no...while forking over.

And of course, games like Never Have I Ever or Two Truths & A Lie, drinking optional. (I will...probably...drink. Just saying.)

Where's the Eighth One?

Wheel has eight Sabbats, yeah?

In the grand tradition of the Satanist/Luciferian practices I stuck with for so long, Number 8 is my Birthday.

Or yours, if you decide to try this.

I'll decide what I wanna do about Birthday when I get there. You do you, tho.

And That's The Wheel of Halloween!

So yes, some of those are closer to recognizable Sabbats. Some of them are so far off that they're not in the same neighborhood. Spoiler: the ones you don't recognize are based (very, very loosely) on Roman festivals that occur in the corresponding month.

Why Roman?

Cause they had a religious festival for everything, there's records I can squint at, and they had a strong mystery tradition that plays well with my schtick.

I am not a dedicated Rome fanby, to be clear, the empire is just very much gone, very well attested, and I can most likely swipe the shape of their shit without worrying about stepping on anyone.

And even then, I'm mixing time periods, even up to hijacking Medieval Xtian shit where and when I see fit. Cause I was baptized Catholic, and that shit is my culture to use.

Neewollah Posting Hopefully Soon! Stay Tuned!

And of course, feel free to reach out for asks, questions, and readings if ya want 'em.

The Psyche Sigils

Inspired deeply by another post that I will reblog as soon as I can find it again, I wish to share this ritual which has helped me, and a way of thinking that has helped me in my day-to-day occult existence. I wrote a post on the spiritual vitamins but let's also put this down:

Rather than focusing on a specific intent, define what you most need in the present.

If you are feeling as though your boundaries aren't strong enough, or that you need more assertion, workings within the boundary of Mars or Saturn would be good. If you're dealing with grief, working with the moon's influence would be of aid, or working or incorporating the element of water into rituals. I adapt my daily practice as needed to include the invocation of certain elements or planets depending on the circumstances that are evident in mind, body and soul. If I'm feeling sluggish, a little bit of fire or solar energy is of good work. If I'm too in my emotions, adding air energy to either help me bring rationality into the mix or earth energy to bring me back to earth would work better than a ritual. So, in a basic and most undeniably inevitable sense, let your craft supplement your life, not your life your craft.

Now we move onto the second bit, the Psyche Sigils. This was a mixture of shadow work and sigil magic to access particular parts of me that I had neglected. The basic premise is to go through emotions that you need to process or examine such as:

Anger

Pain

Feelings of Loneliness

Feelings of Injustice towards the self

Feelings of Lack or Low Self-Esteem

And so on, in this sigil, it becomes your link to these aspects of yourself. Let yourself enter into a meditative state, contemplating the emotion while you go about it. Then, when they are complete, sit and meditate with them. Use them as access points towards those particular emotions, summon them forward. Let them take form, don't try to manipulate the form because the symbolism that the mind chooses is always an interesting experience. When the Personification of the Emotion comes forward, sit with them for a while. Ask them questions such as:

What is your source of manifestation?

In which way do you manifest in my life currently?

How can I acknowledge and reconcile you in my life?

And so on. Now, it might seem counter-intuitive to invite negative emotions and speak with them in such a matter but it is even more counter-intuitive to try and demonize and shut them down. They are you, you are them, you are human and you are the experiencer and beholder of these emotions. This rite seems to work by way of bringing conscious awareness to things that the magus has shut away in hopes of being a better person or to meet some gain. By acknowledging and making way to heal the emotion, it becomes a much more potent experience because you approach it in a more conducive way, understanding your emotions rather than trying to see them as an external force. From then, this rite can be done consecutively, and one can follow the advice given by the personifications of these emotions on how to remedy them or how to work with them in a way that is more conducive to your existence. I hope this helps. The first step to any issue is to acknowledge the issue, find its source and work to remedy it in both long-term and short-term instances... the old acronym, VITRIOL...
