existence In Between
"Our ancient forebears possessed a perpetual awareness of other
worlds and states of reality which at particular times and places
could 'break through' into our world, often in eerie and eldritch
ways. There are also traditionally known loci where the worlds
touched, places of intercommunication between middle-earth and
Elfland such as trees, mounds, hills, caverns, watercourses, pools
and wells. At these sites, passage between the worlds could, and
still can be effected through the use of the faery arts."

TRADITIONAL FAMILY WITCHCRAFT: A Dying Art in a Thriving Industry
This article was originally seen on whywiccanssuck.com, but has circulated the internet and is interesting in topic. Though obviously related to witchcraft, the article's author points out a hereditary correspondence in the Craft, and that a sign of a "traditional" or "hereditary" witch is being in between: That lends traditional family witchcraft its more bizarre aspects is, that while the practitioner is initiated into the secrets of the clan, her immediate family, sometimes including parents & siblings may well be almost entirely unaware of this. Or while accepting that their own parent or sibling was possessed of some psychic ability or other they persist in seeing it as a mild gift, an odd little ability that the practitioner seems to have inherited. This has led to generations of hereditary witches being persecuted by the following sentence; You know, you're the image of your Granny?On a more serious note, in some cases where the practitioner has been unable to properly initiate her successor into the craft, the unfortunate inheritor is doomed to spend a great portion of her life and
certainly her adolescence seeking restlessly, feeling lost, worried by unusual abilities and badly channeled energies?"
