The logo of the '''[[Occult Encyclopedia]]''' was created in 2021 by [[Travis McHenry]].
The '''[[Stele of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu]]''' (also known as the '''Stele of Revealing''') is a painted, wooden offering stele located in Cairo, Egypt. The designation of this object as the "Stele of Revealing" was given in April 1904 by the [[occultist]] [[Aleister Crowley]], in connection with his ''[[The Book of the Law]]''. According to Crowley, his wife Rose had already reported a revelation from the god [[Horus]], through his messenger [[Aiwass]]. The couple went to the newly opened Egyptian Museum (where the stela had been moved), to see if she could recognize Horus on Monday, March 21, 1904. Rose recognized an image of the god on this painted stele, which at the time bore the catalogue number [[666]], a number holding religious significance in [[Thelema]].


The logo consists of a magic triangle commonly used in ceremonial magic to constrain spirits. The design of the triangle and the specific color scheme were proscribed by [[King Solomon]] in the ''[[Lesser Clavicle of Solomon]]''. Below the triangle is the name of the Occult Encyclopedia. The logo was designed in Adobe PhotoShop specifically for use in the upper left hand corner of the page of this wiki.
