INSIGHT

Liminality As Creative Re‑Mythologizing

Liminality is a creative space for re-mythologizing forgotten places and objects.
Garrett frames liminal work as turning unmapped in-between sites into lore and participatory narratives like his Liminal Earth map.

ANECDOTE

How An Abandoned Park Became A Dream Park

Garrett turned an abandoned local park into a viral Dream Park through TikTok, trail cams, and a town council pitch.
He collected dream reports and trail-cam raccoon footage, then proposed the park be repurposed as a sanctioned dream space.

ADVICE

Use AI To Invent Ritual Prompts

Use AI as a creative sounding board to invent new divination rituals and sensory prompts.
Garrett fed ChatGPT constraints (no tarot) and generated license-plate bibliomancy and asphalt-crack symbols for parking-lot spiritwork.

In Liminal is a field series where Jim Perry steps out of the studio and into the landscapes where strange things happen. He sits down with experiencers, researchers, and storytellers in the places connected to their encounters. These conversations unfold in the wild, followed by small side-quests into the surrounding terrain to explore the history, folklore, and mysteries tied to the land itself.

Field Notes: A few years ago, I brought filmmaker KARL PFEIFFER and Euphomet Producer JON MCEDWARD out into the field with me, and we shot, scored, and edited two "interview films" exclusively for Patreon members, and for the first time, they will be seen as video on the podcast feed on Spotify.

This episode with Liminal Earth's GARRETT KELLY is a fun catch-up and exploration of what "living in the liminal" while being a person in the "real world" is really like.

For the first time (I believe), he lets someone into his lab, where all the liminal gizmos, potions, and experiments take shape. In fact, we push all of that stuff aside on his table to create a remote podcast studio, and a great conversation ensues.

We also experience some of the sites that we talk about during the interview - like the crazy phone booth that may connect us to other worlds. It...gets...weird. I still have sorted feelings about it and the synchronicities that followed. Anyway...

It gets deep, too. All of this eventually does. And like most things found on the podcast feed, now I make it about myself. I am on a sojourn of sorts after all. Attempting to develop a new lens to view this stuff from.
