Sarah’s Liminal Letters

By Sarah Liliane Liénard 🌹

This blog will be a weekly installment of Sarah’s Liminal Letters, a series of esoteric leaflets exploring the strange, the sacred, and the unseen. These posts are designed to dive deep into the liminal: the spaces between fact and folklore, history and myth, serious and fun, shadow and light.

Here you’ll find an ongoing act of paranormal journalism, giving voice to the voiceless and attention to the unknown. Each post is a mixture of research and reflection, fusing occult knowledge, paranormal phenomena, personal insight, and original poetry. 

Expect informational and opinionated leaflets that wander through a wide variety of topics and ideas. I will reference and review books, lectures, films, and documentaries, highlighting their contents and the minds behind them. From ancient texts to modern media, I’ll trace the through-lines (golden threads) that connect old truths to new expressions.

Examples of future topics include:

• Vampires and Esotericism: Sinners movie and the Annabelle tour

• Tarot cards and archetypes

• “Dangerous” books and forbidden knowledge

• Ethics in the paranormal and esoteric fields

• Roots of Western esotericism

• Hauntings from the future / Time loops & Hell loops

• Mirrors and illusions

• Artificial Intelligence is an egregore? The end of “Reality”  

• Why do dolls get haunted so often?

• Alchemy and transformation

• Tricksters as necessary Jesters?

• Guardians of the threshold

• Pan’s Labyrinth and mythic storytelling

• The importance of Doubt

• My thoughts on spiritual teachers

• Plato and my favorite philosophers 

• Countercultures

• Aliens? American folklore? 

• Cosmic horror in Annihilation

• Mythology in Hollywood: Marvel movies

• Gnosticism and mysticism

• Secret societies

• The Midnight Sun and Initiation 

• The Abyss 

• Madame Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner

• Cults and the harm they can cause

• Ritual spaces and sacred architecture: caves, grottos, gardens, museums, mountain tops

• Revolutions and magick

• The White Rose Society of WW2 

• Rosicrucianism

• Paganism and Pantheism

• Eternal recurrence

• Star Wars: Esoteric roots of The Force

• The Hunger Games and dystopias

• The awakening of ancient gods: Lovecraft

• Herman Hesse: Glass Bead Game 

• Great Poets, ancient and modern 

• The importance of narratives, myths, stories, and folklore in society 

• Scooby-Doo: “Men are the real monsters…”

Let these be esoteric leaflets wandering into the occult, the mysterious, and the metaphysical. A blend of ancient knowledge and contemporary interpretation. We will unbury the shining jewels lost in the dusty annals of time, and examine how these “old” things still speak to the spiritual hunger and existential strangeness of this modern age.

This is my official invitation to you: An old, worn golden envelope sealed with a secret floral seal. Within it: letters born from the in-between. May the ancient teachings and forgotten wisdom blossom again under this strange modern sky. 🪷
