LIADáN HALLOW
the liminal linguist
I'm Liadán Hallow ~ writer, seer, and liminal folklorist.
My work explores the meeting points of folklore, psyche, occult tradition, and lived experience. I handle language the way others handle herbs or runes: as craft, compass, and conjuration.
I write for those who feel the shift before the wind changes, for those who sense the story beneath the story.
This is the threshold where my words gather ~ essays, myth fragments and the studies that underpin my wytchcraft and my way of seeing.
What I Write:
THE BONES OF MY WORK
I write from the edges, the hollow ways, the in-between states, the places where meaning stirs before it speaks.
My work blends:
Folklore & myth-lore
Spirit-sense & intuitive seeing
Wytchcraft as lived experience, not performance
Psycho-spiritual mapping
Emotional alchemy & threshold states
Myth fragments born from dreaming, memory, and liminal spaces.
I follow patterns most people feel but can't name. I write for the ones who notice the flicker before the flame.
CURRENT THRESHOLD PIECES
Tonight's Threshold Moon ~ Halo folklore, weather-crowns, and the omen that sharpens everything it touches.
The Wind-Tapping Story ~ Sprites between raindrops, December storms, and the night that feels like it's listening.
Krampusnacht Reckoning ~ Winter shadows, old-world justice lore, and why some spirits teach by contrast.
The Wynter Wytch & the Goat at the Door ~ A growing mythos: Winter, truth, bone lantern and the creature who knocks before they enter.
Threshold Whispers (ongoing) ~ Short works that arrive like weather changes, sudden, telling, uninvited.
The Liminal Approach:
HOW I WRITE BETWEEN WORLDS
Language is my ritual tool.
Some people cast circles. Some people light incense. I listen for the hinge. The moment a story chooses to open.
My liminal approach weaves:
Folkloric method ~ tracing lineage, superstition, cultural memory
Occult logic ~ symbolic structure, subtle forces, pattern recognition
Psychic cognition ~ how humans sense the unseen
Poetic anatomy ~ how a sentence becomes spellwork
Lived experience ~ intuition, trauma, resilience and reconstruction
Wytchcraft and writing aren't separate for me. They are two doors that open into the same room.
the liminal thread
A recurring column ~ part memoir, part myth, part omen reading.
This is where I unravel concepts that haunt the edges of ordinary life: Memory gates, wind shifts, shadow selves, ancestral echoes, symbols that wont leave and the strange mechanics of intuition.
think of this as my long-form lantern work.
whispers from the Threshold
Short, atmospheric pieces.
Half story, half sensation. The kind you read once and feel for days.
A Lantern in the Dusk
I'm drawn to the place where truth becomes myth. Where the world makes sense in symbols before it makes sense in sentences.
