Great magic users called Maestros have attempted through the ages to reconcile the Earth with the remaining Imajica, including Christ. The void that separates Earth from her sister worlds is called the "In Ovo". This explains both the appearance of extraordinary phenomena on Earth and the lack of understanding of magic and acceptance of the extraordinary as commonplace (as it is in the other four worlds). However, Earth became separated from the other four worlds long ago. Overseeing all of the dominions is the Unbeheld, Hapexamendios (God). The Earth is actually just one part of 5 connected worlds or Dominions, called the Imajica.

The inspiration and many of the ideas for Imajica came to Clive Barker in dreams, and so inspired, he worked at an intense pace to complete the novel.
