The Occult Encyclopedia was created on 16 October 2021 by Travis McHenry in an effort to share knowledge about occult and metaphysical topics with a broader audience.
Mission
The mission of this wiki is to become the definitive, authoritative source for information about esoteric, mystical topics.
On Wikipedia, these topics are considered fringe subjects and related articles are peppered with words like "supposedly," "claimed," and "allegedly." In the Occult Encyclopedia, articles about demons, angels and other spirits are treated with a more open mind. This gives our editors the freedom to incorporate sources that do not meet the criteria for academic rigor among the muggles working with Wikipedia.
Milestones
Firsts
- The first article was the article on the occult.
- The first featured article was the article on Aleister Crowley.

Records
- The 100th article was the article on the Six of Cups.
- The 200th article was the article on Saturnalia.
- The 400th article was the article on Egyptian religion.

With gratitude
This wiki would not be possible without the hard work by the assistant editors over at Encyclopedia Westarctica. The success of that wiki (with over 1,000 articles published in only three years!) directly led to the creation and success of the Occult Encyclopedia.
