Liminal Spaces: Thresholds of Consciousness and Magickal Practice

Every initiation, every rite of passage, every act of ceremonial magick turns on the same moment: the threshold. The instant when you are no longer who you were, and not yet who you will become.

Anthropologists call it liminality. Jung called it the temenos. The Golden Dawn placed the candidate at the door of the temple, blindfolded and between worlds. Crowley named an entire grade Dominus Liminis and warned that this position would be tested often.

The discomfort at the threshold is the work, not an obstacle to it. Standing still at the door is itself a magickal act.

Liminal Spaces is a guide for those prepared to stand there.
