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.

Shape Shifters and Portals
There are natural portals in the woods where shape shifters live. Shape shifters have their own experience of time which they explore in the same way they explore shapes and textures. They can exist in several times at one time and bring others with them in and out of various times. When they are in the tiny point of their life cycle, they can blink out of time but still keep some consciousness and ability when they get bigger again.
Dream: Shape Shifters Circus, Castle Portal Room, Levitation, Dancing
September 26, 2023 There was a group of shape shifters going down the road together laughing and having fun together. I was trying to talk with one of them and they all shifted into kind of Norwegian people and put on some Norwegian accents, which were good but I knew that they weren’t really Norwegian and they didn’t really speak Norwegian normally. They were being a Norwegian circus of some sort, and laughing and playing as they walked, one was juggling and they were also dancing. I started dancing with one guy shape shifter and he was really strong and could even push me into the air. We paused after awhile on our journey, near a tent, and I wanted him to bring me up into the air like a sort of reverse sky dive. He was on top and pulled me spiraling into the air with him, levitating about 30 feet up. It was a bit scary, but pretty fun. People on the ground were watching and got some videos of us levitating up into the air. Then we went into the woods, walking past all sorts of colorfully and vibrantly painted wooden gnomes, fairy houses, and little mushrooms of a Norwegian style. Then we apparently came to somewhere like a marketplace in Norway that was like Santa’s workshop at the North Pole and we were elves fashioning tiny Christmas ornaments and figurines out of wood and cloth, and selling them there or giving them away to passersby. Then I went to a castle in the Middle East, where there was a portal on the left and a portal on the right, basically into the same type of room but the left side was brighter and newer looking and the right side looked softer, but more aged and not quite as bright. I knew I wanted to go to the right but ended up having to go through the left and around the corner to the right. There were dancers there and we all had on some flowing garments and scarves. We would run at a pool with water and begin levitating just enough to be able to run on the surface of the water, dipping our scarves into the water on either side. That was our dance.
