Mystical Liminal Space: Space In between
Mystical Liminal Space fascinates me. This is the pause between what’s past and what’s next. This can be an uncomfortable time as we wait to settle into something brand new and unknown. So this is the time we’re in now, blowing from the Winter of Earth to the Spring of Air. In addition, it’s an unsettling time of new growth, wild winds, and shifting temps. The wind nearly blew the door off as I stuck my head out to feel a sunny 45 degree day. Also, branches the size of small trees have been torn off their Mother Trunks as the fury scours the land of old debris. Therefore, I see this as a time of rebirth in every way.
The word ‘liminal’ comes from the Latin ‘limen’, and means Threshold. I’ve often felt this Mystical Liminal Space at twilight. So, as the sun slowly sets in the west, a hush seems to come over the Earth. Birds stop singing. Squirrels run home. Another shift, and there’s a change in guard from Hawks to Owls that truly feels like magic is in the air. The threshold of the deep dark night is almost here. But in the meantime, flits of bats can be seen out the corner of the eye. Foxes leap after some unseen creature, while winds die down to barely a shimmer. As a result, the sky takes on lavender, cornflower blue tones that cameras can barely capture. In addition, I feel like I’m entering a gateway, beginning a new phase.
The Mystical Liminal Space can also be the waiting space after a loss. While one wonders what’s next, emotions run through the questions of the unknown. Therefore this is the Void, the no time place, where anything can happen. Yet this truly is the cauldron of creativity where your focus, thoughts, and dreams reign supreme. Enter this Imaginal space and see all shifts as opportunities for new growth. Shape your life and know your Self through all liminal spaces.
As a result, we travel through the mystical liminal space holding the anticipation of something even better to come. Our senses heighten to freshness in the air. The dark night comes, but often is lighted by the brilliant Moon Goddess, wearing her veil of stars. Also, remember after the harsh winds come the soothing breezes of Spring days. So allow the Sun to bath us in the promise of rebirth. Babies are born, sprouts appear, and buds pop in renewal. What new wonder will you birth in your life?
