Liminarium
An uncommon place for uncommon interests
Welcome
LIMINARIUM centres on liminality: thresholds, transitions and the experience of being between one thing and another. That includes physical places, changes in our lives and experiences that resist easy explanation.
Folklore and cunning craft offer ways to explore how people understand and work with these conditions. Stories, customs and practical work sit alongside questions about place, belief and experience. There is room to examine the history, ask awkward questions and try things for yourself.
Here you’ll find talks, workshops and practical experiences, alongside treatments, practitioner training and one-to-one sessions. These offer different ways to take part, develop your skills and meet people with shared interests.
I’m Liadán Hallow, and I run LIMINARIUM. Liminality connects my research and practical work, including Hingecraft, The Spit Principle and Limintrace, which you can explore below.
A Practice of Thresholds
Hingecraft™
Hingecraft is a practical system developed by Liadán Hallow for working with thresholds, boundaries and crossings.
Rooted in folklore, place and working craft, it brings together original methods including The Spit Principle.
One Spit Wide, One Spit Deep
The Spit Principle™
The Spit Principle is a practical framework for understanding proportion, intervention, restraint and consequence in threshold craft.
It asks how far a working should go, what should be left undisturbed and when intervention becomes overreach.
Observation Before Interpretation
Limintrace™
Limintrace is a fieldwork method developed by Liadán Hallow for documenting anomalous and liminal experiences.
It separates what was observed from variables and interpretation, giving you a structured way to examine an experience before deciding what it might mean.
