A look at life from a liminal perspective. Both my medical condition (myalgic encephalomyalitis) and my intuitive abilities are examples of liminal conditions. Liminality is the realm of tricksters, ambiguity, "betwixt and between"(ala Victor Turner). My body is not fully alive and my psyche has awareness of more than one realm. Though this is a subjective view, my hope is that it can benefit others by being placed in a larger perspective such as mythic, Jungian, transformative, or spiritual.

I've written a new article...
entitled : Elemental Haunting: An Overview for the Paranormal Researcher.
It's just been posted on the Pacific Paranormal Investigations website:
Your article was extremely thorough and well written. I now have a much larger vocabulary and understanding of these different entities. Whether they are mythic or fact based, it's good to have the information. I'm beginning to understand that much of our oral history and mythology is fact based, in fact, Ancient Aliens on History Channel comes to mind.
Great article! It was very interesting for me to read, because I have often wondered if different kinds of spirits communicate in their own ways. I have personally experienced poltergeist activity in which I felt there was more than one entity responsible. There was the bewildering knocking spirit, and then there was something creepy in my bathroom that seemed completely separate!
Nancy, Gypsy, Trish, & Jen: Thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry I was so slow to respond. Sometimes my health causes me to "fall off the map". I really appreciate all of you!
