Liminal Space and Borders

“Intrinsic to all Otherworld entrances is the idea of the borderlands, the edges where two ways of being interpenetrate each other to form liminal space. Such borderland places where water touches the land, times of dawn and twilight, dense primeval forests, sacred mounds, caves, and deep waters, all belong to the gods.”

“Borders” between Inner and Outer Realm in Disinfolklore are so commonly referenced as soon as you hear any politician or rhetorician talking about “borders” be on the alert for Disinfolklore. It should trigger our Incoming Troll Radar.
