My Liminal Spaces of Death Energy
Throughout my years of being a witch, I have traveled up and down the east coast, meeting different energies along the way. This post will include my personal experiences of death energy inside certain spaces I have been and continue to use as a death witch. This is just a fun post for me to do and I hope it will bring you all some fun experiences on your journey with death's energy. Enjoy!
First off, what does the word liminal mean?
In the book Weave the Liminal, by Laura Tempest Zakroff, we find the quote:
"So much of the experience of being a Witch and practicing Witchcraft is hard to put into words. However, liminal is one of those words that gets pretty close to describing much of what we sense. It is a good objective that captures that sense of there-but-not-quite as a sensation. Applied as a noun, it gives name to the in-between places we traverse as spirits still connected to the physical realm-while we work with spirits of other realms. What we call those realms has a lot to do with what culture we belong to, what myths we subscribe to, and how we view the invisible and the unknown. But they all find a home in the word liminal."
Dictionary.com gives us this meaning of liminal:
Liminal is an adjective that’s used to describe things that exist at the threshold (or border) between one thing and another.
So, what's a liminal space?
Liminal is the threshold between one thing and another, a border between things seen and unseen. It is the sensation we are here, but there is something else before us.
Put together with witchcraft, a liminal space is the door between our physical realm and the realm of other worlds. It is a doorway we can sense and feel, sometimes see, different energies and beings. Higher energies reside here, and are great for workings!
You know that sensation you get when standing in a space that feels like there is something there? When you look upon something and realize you are not alone? This is a liminal space.
Some spaces can be accessed at any time, others have limited openings. Please, be aware of your surroundings and do not attend alone if you are able to. These are my experiences, but most can be accessed at anytime. The times I use are when I experienced energies at their highest. Please, be safe.

What can I do in these places?

Find objects from these spaces (with permission) to take home and draw energy from in workings at home
Access these spaces in lucid dreaming or astral projection as a doorway into other worlds
