Liminal spaces are spaces on the boundary, at the edge between what's real and what's unreal. A liminal space can be neither here nor there, and yet be both *here and there* at the same time. Stories ...

Divination is said to be the oldest of the magical arts as it defends against mortals’ greatest fear: that of the unknown. Necromancy, pyromancy, geomancy, all come from *manteia*, different methods o...
