<![CDATA[Lurker on the Threshold]]>I'm looking for references , definitions, explanations, experiences of this entity. Is the Lurker on the Threshold just a term for ones internal resistance, the Jungian shadow, or is it something more, something darker?

What is the Lurker on the Threshold?

Love and Will

This has to do with being confronted with all your inner demons, what you fear the most, or your Jungian shadow, just before you make the leap towards enlightenment.

Thanks.

You are correct. My mistake, conflating another term, and probably accounts for my not being able to track down the reference. "Lurker on the Threshold" is a Lovecraft reference and not what I was interested in.

I am actually looking for references to Dweller on the Threshold. Some poking about suggests it is a theosophical concept, but I know Crowley makes reference to it in various places.

EDIT: there is also a whole thread on this under Magick that I just found. Sorry for starting a new thread that is dealt with elsewhere...
