Liminal Spaces in Witchcraft
'A liminal space' refers to a place or time that is a period of transition between two phases. These are usually places where reality feels altered because you are neither here nor there.
The word "liminal" originates feom the Latin word, "limens", meaning threshold. These places often give off a sense of time standing still, a reality shift, or slipping in into a different dimension.
In magick and witchcraft these spaces are considered to be the boundary between our world and another, known as the 'In-Between'. These places are considered areas of great and powerful magick, since the veil is so thin there. As such, they are great spaces for divination, spirit work, ritual magick, hedge-riding or astral travel, and meditation. Liminal spaces are believed to be neutral/grey zones, undesignated and unclaimed, which makes them fantastic spots to make contact/work with entities like the Fae, elementals, the dead, spirits, djinn, demons and gods.
Examples of Liminal Spaces
• Crossroads
• Caves
• Rivers and creeks
• Shores and beaches
• Hallways, corridors, stairwells, landings
• Doorways and windows
• Graveyards, cemeteries, and burial mounds
• Fairs, festivals, and marketplaces
• Hedge rows
• Abandoned or empty places
• The edges of vallies, forests, and glades
• Swamps, bogs, and marshes
• During dawn/dusk, the afternoon and midnight
• Mirrors

When dealing with aggregate layers of energetic composites, information can become very dense and complex. This is why visualization isn’t effective at all in this stage. That, and the amount of information that is required to have an awareness of cannot be captured by visualization. Other than energetic awareness, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of a few concepts. Firstly, energetic composites can be measured similar to spectrographs. Each independent frequency is identifiable. These frequencies, when studied individually and in amalgam, can be connected to each composite’s energetic properties.
Due to the complexity of the nature of complex energy work, the mind can reach points where information is difficult to keep track of. These gaps can easily be filled with indirect data, which could heavily influence the objectivity of the working. This is why practice, notes and regular comparisons to workings are crucial.
The subtle body is a collection of super dense, stable, tethered energetic nodes. Each point is Conductive, Adiabatic, Enthalpic, and Refractive. These nodes modify and are modified by all the energy that cycle through the whole system. If not directly, then transitively. Not all conduits, or tethers, exist within the same spatial dimension. This becomes increasingly important to understand as a practitioner begins using the more interconnected hyper-dimensional nodes for energy work. That being said, the upper dimensional points are significantly difficult to find due to their dimensional phase. However, their location can be explored by paying close attention to minor fluctuations of the modulations and fluctuations of the system’s energetic states via the transference between each individual node.
Energy is most commonly referred to as having properties within very human perspectives and concepts. Things like “prosperity” or “protection”, these are intentions that can be programmed into energy and not inherent properties to any existing energies. The only exceptions to this would be energies that are derived from divine or spiritual sources. Physical objects have energies without any native intentions. Slight intentions can be left in objects via interactions with people. These properties are purely how energetic composites interact.
Infinite: Regardless of the amount of energy absorbed or released the sum amount of energy does not change within a composite.
Insulative: Resists the transference of isolated frequencies.
Conductive: Low resistance to frequency transference.
Inductive: Attracts further energetic frequencies into the composite.
Thermal: Has frequencies that equalize into the environment without losing potency or affect within the composite.
Direct Current: Multiple frequencies in a composite transmits to another relative location, creating identical propagations.
Alternating Current: Frequencies within two composites alternate information bi-directionally in an oscillatory fashion.
Entangled: Discrete connections between two composites irrelevant of their relative positions in space or time.
Tethered: A direct circuit between two or more stable composites.
Spin: The degree of self-reference between two overlapping frequencies.
Inert: A composite that does not interact with other composites in the surrounding environment.
Charge: The volume of frequencies within a composite.
Attractive: Compounds the volume of surrounding self-similar frequencies within a distance relative to initial density.
Repulsive: Repels individual self-similar frequencies, lessening its overall volume.
Unstable/reactive: Compounds with chaotic or discordant composites easily.
Metastable: Regardless of interactions, the properties and substituent frequencies within the composite do not change.
Bistable: Composites that oscillate between two distinct states that are triggered by interactions with other composites.
Adiabatic: Properties change without a gain or loss of volume or density.
Isentropic: Adiabatic, but the composite returns to its initial properties.
Cyclical: Frequencies within the composite fluctuate between several different states in a cyclical manner.
Enthalpic: Becomes Thermal when under pressure from near or connected composites.
Negentropic: The composite always returns to its initial state in terms of frequencies and properties without any observable influence.:
Refractive: When it interacts with other composites, it splits the composite into two different composites or frequencies.
All energy is information. All psychic abilities involve obtaining or manipulating information. Of course, this only applies to real psychic abilities, which omits: telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and other psychic abilities of fantasy and science fiction. By using combinations of energetic awareness and understanding energetic properties, it is possible to use energy work to boost psychic abilities.
Telepathy: All thoughts release energy through the brain's magnetic field. These wave consist of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation- in trace amounts, of course. These waves, like all things, are composed of complex compounds of energetic composites. While the types of radiation tell us the type of frequency that thoughts predominantly exist within, it doesn’t quite tell us the contents of the thoughts. Each wave release is composed of unique quanta on energies that fall within those three classifications. By tapping into Kimeya & Taoyita senses, it is fairly easy to start translating these fluctuations in radiation. Clairvoyance: Amplifying clairvoyance relies entirely on Taoyita, the fractal energetic sense and astral projection. To give a boost to clairvoyance, zoom out as far as possible, then transfer into a projection. Use that projection to manipulate the scope of your fields, which is a lot simpler in the pure energetic body. Anything within that scope becomes knowable. Observable. All that is left to do is to hone in on the proper composites.
Claircognizance: Unlike other psychic abilities, boosting this one is an entirely internal process. Rather than manipulating the range of perception, it's a matter of tuning your own connection points to the same frequencies as the information that is sought after, by matching the frequencies of said information.
Starting with a sphere, the simplest construct to maintain, divide the construct into two independent structures. Do this without altering the form, density, or size. Think of it as the sphere going through mitosis. Move the spheres so that they are orbiting your body in different orbital paths and velocities. Once this can be accomplished, divide each sphere in two. Repeat this process to the highest quantity that can be managed. When a minimum of 32 constructs can be comfortably maintained, move onto more complex constructs. Start with simpler forms, like the platonic solids. The next step is to have each object transform into a different shape as it is born. You know you’ve mastered this skill once in control of 64 individual forms with variety in form, density, and size comfortably.
Once you’ve gotten this far in your practice, it becomes very possible to create constructs that are miles in diameter. Maybe even hundreds of miles. However, once you get this large, visualization stops being effective, even as a mould.This is because of the relative frame of reference. It is difficult for the human mind to accurately depict and maintain the amount of information required, even for someone with hyperphantasia. For this, you'll rely solely on energetic senses. Making constructs this large will require all of the senses. In order to maintain them during construction, they’ll need to be fed energy and maintained in concentration the entire time before it is anchored. To do this, create several conduits to the wellsource to points on the construct that are connected to the highest number of variables and create a circuit within the construct.
Energy naturally has a short half-life, however if an energy is anchored but the anchor isn’t known or located it is still possible to diffuse the construct, thoughtform, or spirit. Like the metaphor above for manipulating properties, imagine the construct as a woven fabric. In all fabrics there are some threads that hold it together the most. It is possible to remove the property that is the equivalent of the hem of a fabric and allow the construct to dissipate over time; or, several threads can be removed until the fabric isn't a fabric anymore. Doing this to a construct causes the energetic composites involved to equalize into the environment. The more it unravels, the faster it dissipates. This also works on thoughtforms or spirits as well. Both of these are composed of energetic constructs and therefore can be unraveled.
In the next post, Advanced Energy Work Part II, I'll be discussing multi-dimensional energy work, and covering topics required for advanced warding.

Energy work is used by every single practitioner in every spell they’ve ever done or will do. It is the medium in which intent is carried. Without understanding how to consciously control the energies you’re working with, you risk the spell not working, or not working as intended.
The primary goal of this article is to introduce the most basic elements of energy work and how to master them in order to improve the quality of spell casting. The information in this post was accumulated after years of experimentation, research, and discussions with many practitioners, some of which were practitioners of closed practices. I have omitted all closed information.
The energies I’ll be speaking on are almost ambiguous. A lot of practitioners use fluffy and sensory words to describe their energy work, and while this is fine for the basics it does not translate well over to the more advanced concepts. A lot of practitioners describe energy as colors, which can be very misleading as it has no color. Energy is not light, nor does it interact with light, as it is fundamental fluctuations in potential densities of space/time. This makes discussing energy a lot more complicated but also significantly more possible, as the language already exists for it.
The subtle body is the energetic field surrounding all living things and the energetic nodes (as in density) of energies that are connected by conduits (paths of least resistance). The subtle body is connected to the physical body as well. Any time a practitioner dreams or projects astrally, they are doing so with their subtle body. Any time a practitioner casts a spell or does any other kind of working, they do so via their subtle body. The subtle body is composed of a connection between nodes of energetically dense nodes and several fields that are generated by the interactions between these nodes. Some of these nodes are aspects of the physical body that also generate their own fields. Like the mitochondria, the Wellsource is the powerhouse of the subtle body. The Wellsource is the only node within the subtle body that intrinsically releases more energy than it integrates. Because of this property, it is very important to draw energy from this point for energy so that you avoid draining your subtle body.
As energy moves throughout the subtle body, each node alters the properties of the energy. In order to progress further than the basics, it is incredibly important that the habit of using visualization is completely removed from your practice, except potentially in your planning phase of spellcraft. The foundation that the intermediate and advanced energetic practices are built on, is developing a strong energetic awareness. For the purpose of the ease of communication, I have given names to the forms of energetic awareness. (These terms were taken from a conlang I’m currently working on.)
Yotasia: The closest analog would be a combination of hearing and touch. This sense is best described as having a sense that is of an entire volume of space, without any displacement due to the physical. Almost as if you had complete awareness of a volume of water, except that water permeates everything within that volume.
Tata’o: The closest analog is a combination of periphery sense and sight. This sense is best described as a type of sonar that only reflects off of energetic constructs, including the ambient energies in the space and the energetic makeup of the surroundings. It is almost like all things energetic are constructed of mirrors, and your body is constantly radiating light.
Kemiya: The closest analog is smell. This sense is best described as observing energetic fluctuations as they move throughout a space. This sense is typically experienced in the energetic points that exist just inside the head near the ears. This makes it the most internal sense. It is almost like smelling a scent as it moves through the environment, except you can pick up on the subtle variations as it passes.
Taoyita: This sense doesn't really have anything analogous to our typical human senses. It is best described as Yotasia but it is more fractally inward and outward than expansive into the environment. It is like your senses can dive down into levels of reality that aren't normally perceivable. It also works in the opposite direction. When this skill is honed, it becomes possible to sense energetic fluctuations on nearly atomic levels or planetary levels. This sense is the best one to use for controlling the precision of your energy work.
Pioso: This sense is most similar to the sense of periphery. This one is best described as sensing when a sentient energetic presence enters a space and the ability to distinguish it from other energetic phenomena in the space. It is like feeling when a person enters a space without you seeing, smelling, or hearing them do so.
Saya: Again, similar to Yotasia, this sense is like being able to sense energetic constructs. However, unlike Yotasia, this sense only perceives the circumference or parameters of those constructs. This sense does not pick up on fluctuations of energetic properties or density, only alterations in form.
It is important to understand that these senses are processed by energies interacting with energetic points or the fields produced by the subtle body. These points are:
Yotasia: In the energetic body, near the Myocardium
Tata’o: In the energetic body, near the left & right Bronchus
Kemiya: Closest to the physical body within the energetic body, near the left & right Cochlea.
Taoyita: In the energetic body, nearest to the Penealiar Cortex
Pioso: In the energetic body, nearest to the Larynx
Saya: In the energetic body, nearest to the Adrenal Glands.
When energy moves through other energy points, they slightly alter the properties of that energy. This is one of the primary mechanisms behind gesture magic. Most energy points within the subtle body do not exist in the physical body, but the ones that are important to know when starting exist in the same space as the physical body. Some important points to know in terms of their effects on the energy passing through them are (The following points are listed by the nearest bodily locations relative to the subtle body):
The left & right Thumb Distal Phalanx: increases the amplitude of energies
The left & right Index Distal Phalanx: encodes energies with information within the mind
The left & right Middle Distal Phalanx: increases the densities of energies
The left & right Ring Distal Phalanx: encodes emotional states into energies
The left & right Little Distal Phalanx: increases the angle and rate of release of energies
The left & right Medial Proximal Palmar: Increases the ease of awareness of energies
The left & right Wing of Ilium: translates environmental energies into integrated energy
Pancreas: Center of intuition; Translates most perceptions of energy into physiological and mild psychical sensation
Exterior Positive Toroidal Axis: Located above the center of the skull; Alters the properties of all energies into a state in which the subtle body can easily process it.
Exterior Negative Toroidal Axis: Located underneath the center point between the feet; Alters the energies naturally released from the subtle body in such a way that it can more easily interact with ambient energies.
It is important to note that energy points and practices referred to as *Chakras are from a semi-closed culture. Meaning that they are culturally significant to certain religious and spiritual practices. Without the cultural context of these practices, you will not be able to understand their meanings and implementations to the extent that it is intended. The energetic points listed above can also be used to manipulate energies outside of the body. Which will be important when moving into more advanced energetic practices. By releasing and absorbing energy in a precise and controlled manner, you can manipulate energy around you, especially within the fields of the subtle body. But before you can run, you must learn to walk. Energetic awareness is the key to being able to do advanced energy work.
In the image below all of the pink dots are the most important energy points within the physical body; or, are very close to existing in the physical body. Hopefully this image gives you some idea of what to feel for when working.
The density of energy is integral in packing as much intent and fuel into a spell as possible. Doing so requires a firm grasp on energetic awareness. It is impossible to control the density of energy with visualization. The principle of density in energy work is cramming as much energy as possible into a single volume. It’s equivalent to thinking in terms of pressure. However, the reason I call it “density” is due to the difference in the trajectory, inertia, and momentum energy has in motion. When moving dense energy around, it feels heavier, more sluggish, and more difficult to curve. This change is slight, but it is noticeable. To increase an energetic contruct’s density, start by creating the construct. Then, begin to siphon more energy into it from all angles of approach. It is important that the size of the construct remains the same throughout this process. When first starting, it is also a lot easier if the construct remains static in place and form. This process is felt through Yotasia and Taoyita. Using Taoyita you can keep track of the changes in the density throughout the entire construct.You’ll know when you’ve mastered this aspect of energy work when you can increase the density while the construct is in movement and you can alter the form without changing that density, simultaneously.
Precision refers to the relativistic frame of reference in which one can manipulate energy. This has to do with the scalar of control. This aspect of energy work is crucial to being able to create intricate constructs. The basic principle of precision is being able to control energy on any scale. From atomic to astronomic. It is the micro and macro form of control. It is best to start learning how to do this by flexing your sense of Taoyita. Start paying attention to the fluctuations in environmental energies and how they move, contort, change density, and change in intricacy. Once you feel you have a solid grasp of Taoyita, you can start moving into manipulating energies on different scales of perception. It would probably be best to start off practicing building intricate energetic constructs with static density, and form. Starting with simplistic constructs, like a sphere, you can begin by maintaining the density and form while shrinking it or expanding it to the furthest levels of your senses. You’ll know you've mastered this aspect when you can alter any construct by increasing and changing the intricacy of a construct while changing its density and form when it is in motion. Being able to alter its intricacy while holding any other property of it static while doing so.
Basic constructs are the best way to start off learning each new aspect of energy work, and then gradually upping the details of the form. For example, starting with a sphere is by far the simplest. Then start moving through the platonic solids. Eventually you can start making exact replicas of entire spaces and preserving their details and properties. To build a construct, you can start by visualizing a framework for it. See all of the details, all of the positive and negative spaces. The curves and corners. Once the mold of the construct is planned, you can then move into actually creating the construct. By this point you should be able to create a construct while remaining stationary. Not moving any part of your body. I personally do this by creating astral forms or however many astral limbs I need to accurately manipulate the level of energy required. Once the mold is created you can start by roughly filling out the mold with a light amount of energy. Then, you can start manipulating the precision and density of that energy to the desired form. Using precision, you can manipulate the external contour of the construct so that it matches up with your planned form.
Constructs can be as simple as a stream of energy, or as complex and a recreation of an entire city block. This can be useful for projecting an energetic replica of someone and binding that replica to them via taglock, which can be as simple as a memory of their voice. They are also useful for enchanting large spaces, furniture, objects, and mental spaces.
Andvanced Energy Work Part I
this is what i expect from the mario movie
Milky Way milk box ✴ (with two more color choices)
Background:
When I started on my path I didn’t have a name for it. Asking around, researching, and I couldn’t find a name for my ability to feel and work with shadows and their energy. A friend suggested I forge my own path and thus I started referring to my path as Umbra Witchcraft.
What is Umbra Witchcraft?
Umbra witchcraft utilizes the energy of the shadows to fuel spells, wards, curses, etc.
Practicing with the energy of the shadows also has a side effect of drawing what lives in those shadows to you. So be prepared to see dark orbs darting out of the corner of your eye or seeing shadow people.
Is it dangerous?
All magic is dangerous in one form or another. But keep in mind not everything that lives in the shadows is friendly so warding before reaching for umbra energy is a must.
Umbra energy vs The Umbra
Umbra energy comes from the shadows but The Umbra is a shadowy realm created, originally, by the Goddess Nyx as a safe haven for her children. It eventually expanded and become a safe haven for all of the dark deities and creatures of myth and legend.
Do I have to worship Nyx to practice Umbra witchcraft?
No you don’t. You can if you want and you might draw her attention when you first start out but you do not have to worship her or any other deity if you do not want to.
Is it ok to call myself an Umbra witch?
Yes of course its ok! I might be the first to consider myself an Umbra witch but that does not mean I own the name. In fact I would hope others refer to themselves as Umbra witches so we can find each other and share our experiences.

Colour magick
Color magick is a form of magic that utilizes the energetic properties associated with different colors. Each color is believed to have its own unique vibrations and correspondences, which can be harnessed for various intentions or spells.
It's a fascinating aspect of occult practice for those interested in harnessing symbolism and energy in their magical workings.
Here are some common associations for different colors:
1. Red: Often associated with passion, love, strength, and vitality. It can be used for matters of the heart, courage, and energy.
2. Orange: Represents creativity, enthusiasm, and success. It's used for motivation, self-expression, and attracting opportunities.
3. Yellow: Linked to intellect, communication, and clarity. Yellow can be used for mental clarity, confidence, and boosting intellectual pursuits.
4. Green: Represents growth, abundance, and healing. It's associated with matters of prosperity, fertility, and overall well-being.
5. Blue: Associated with peace, calmness, Certainly! Color magick is based on the idea that colors have distinct energetic vibrations and correspondences that can influence our thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
6. Purple: Symbolizes spirituality, wisdom, and transformation. It can be used for spiritual growth, psychic abilities, and seeking higher knowledge.
7. Pink: Often used for matters of love, compassion, and harmony. Pink can be employed for romantic love, self-love, and healing emotional wounds.
8. Black: Symbolizes protection, banishing, and mystery. It's used for absorbing negativity, protection, and working with the shadow self.
9. White: Represents purity, clarity, and spiritual enlightenment. It's often used for purification, meditation, and connecting with higher realms.
10. Brown: Associated with stability, grounding, and nurturing. It's used for matters of stability, home, and connecting with nature.
Remember, these associations can vary depending on individual beliefs, cultural traditions, and personal experiences.
When using color magick, it's important to trust your intuition and select colors that resonate with you and your specific intentions. Additionally, combining colors in spells and rituals can amplify their effects.
