Beyond the Veil

This amulet, and many other similar ones, are carried to protect against a curse which, in some folklore or beliefs, is brought about by a malevolent glare from an enemy or some other person who wishes you harm or is envious of you. *This particular amulet in the picture was given to me as a gift and it sits in my office with me every day. 

According to the research I have done, this word (liminal) means the in-between (Merriam-Webster) It describes an entity that is on a threshold, changing from one state to another. Some might consider ghosts to be liminal beings if they haven’t moved on completely yet. Shapeshifters are liminal beings while in the process of shifting—in transition. 

A seance is generally considered a meeting or gathering of persons for the sole intent of communicating with the other side—with the dead. It can take place in various settings, but is most often associated with those sitting around a table. Tools being used can vary as well: candle-light, Ouija boards, paper & pen for spirit writing, crystals, incense, scrying mirrors and other items. Sometimes the people involved hold hands in an attempt to raise the energy in the room and/or chant. In the past, they have used two small sections of slate with a piece of chalk between for the spirit to write a message. Also pendulums can be used to answer yes/no questions. Caution should always be taken and keep in mind, it is opening a door to another dimension. Would you open your house door without being able to first see who’s on the other side??
