“Antoinette “Tiyi” Schippers masterfully strings together a series of narratives, told with care and laced with nostalgia, which describe her journey of self discovery as a “gatekeeper” living at the brink of the spirit world. A Liminal Life warms the heart and lifts the soul, and is, quite simply, a beautiful read”.
—Jennifer James of the Common Mystics Podcast “Tiyi Schippers is one of the most connected people I know. Connected with the Spirit World, that is. If you are a fan of all things metaphysical, I highly recommend reading her newest book, Liminal Life. In it, she brings you along on her incredible spiritual journey. It is an expedition that is mysterious, unpredictable, and utterly fascinating.” —Jim Harold, Host of Paranormal Podcast and Jim Harold’s Campfire Excerpt: “I began to notice subtle changes in the face of the statue. It appeared to morph from one face into another at an ever-increasing speed. I held my blowing hair with both hands to see more clearly as one after another female face appeared on the statue. Something obscure continued to block my view as if unseen fingers or long shadows flitted through my field of vision. The faces became illuminated as they changed again and again until it seemed like a thousand women flashed before my eyes. At last, the vision ceased abruptly, and I stood alone gazing into the stone face of a mysterious woman. Maybe from her, or from someplace inside my head, or perhaps the depths of the universe itself, I heard a low pitched androgynous voice declare: There will be three.” |
Antoinette “Tiyi” Schippers was born in the Chicago area during the mid-20th century as the third child in a family of ten.
