@birnamwoodprint I cannot stand the word liminal these days, but I think wards and corridors are ghost-soaked and are demonstrably thresholds. Talking to those who work or worked in them, definitely that way for https://t.co/4dlQCXDoGy

@birnamwoodprint As someone who has been chronically ill for decades and is now far too close to the bone border, I know exactly what you mean, it is just that I think there are much better terms for it than liminal.

Where our greenwood ends and Faery begins is often unknowable till you have stepped across the tangle of border. I never make the journey without some token to mark my way home. – Katherine Giddings, Hookland artist, 1959 https://t.co/IqxPdRIAFa

Questioning of the feared oracle is only obtained by walking the Bone Road till the querent reaches the Bone Border itself. By secret gestures, ritual and giving of tokens, the spirit of the Queen Ossospex can be called. The truth of her answers may be deadly. – Dr. Bron, 1638

There are those who claim ghost as larvae. See them as long season of spiritual metamorphosis. Shroud cocoons and silver slivering of ectoplasm trails. Ghost as transition tension, waiting for the next form – whether wing emergence or a growing of horns. – C. Josiffe, 1936
