Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune courts. WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE PLUTO COURT THING. (…There’s a story there.)
Clockwise and Counterclockwise courts
…or Deasil and Widdershins, fine, but the clockwise version is more neutral
Proton, Neutron, Electron courts
you know I could keep going but I think I’m going to stop
This is not as much of an issue as it used to be – to my knowledge no one has been killed over it for a few years, but my advice to humans who must deal with the Courts remains the same: Do NOT ask if there is a Court of Pluto. Do not ask why there is no Court of Pluto. Ideally avoid mentioning the word ‘Pluto’.
The problem is that the story is rather embarrassing to several powerful people and they would really rather it not be brought to mind. Ever.
Rest stops on highways are liminal spaces where the veil is thin and nobody can tell me differently
Explain
The explanation is that liminal spaces are in between places that bridge Here with There, so in fairy tales we often have the Fairy Ring, the Forest Clearing, the Sudden Misty Foggy Forest, the Bridge, the River, graveyards, in some cases
We also have a ton of american urban mythology around famous roadways and sites off the sides of roads
Archetypes like these occur to mark the places in the world where the veil goes thin and humans can have extra-worldly experiences, out of the ordinary way of living
So why wouldn’t transient spaces like rest stops where everyone is just passing through from one place to the next, never stopping for too long, not be a liminal space where spirits frequent, too
Especially since nobody would know if they were real or not
