Look up: Veil

  1. Veil
    Symbolic and literal barrier(s) that separate the various planes of existence from one another. This barrier often seems an inconvenience to students of the occult who wish they could more easily bypass it, but in truth most scholars agree that veils do, in fact, protect individuals from becoming lost in the planes they are not rooted in to the exclusion of their own. At times the plane we are most strongly rooted in requires our full attention to maintain life and promote spiritual growth. However, there are also times when it is most appropriate (and thus safe) to know how to bypass this barrier. Learning the appropriate methods (as well as times) for bypassing the veil is a major goal of most occultists due to its natural inhibition of divination and magickal empowerment.
