The '''Occult Encyclopedia''' was created on 16 October 2021 by [[Travis McHenry]] in an effort to share knowledge about [[occult]] and [[metaphysics|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 [[demon]]s, [[angel]]s 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]]. | |||
* The first featured image was the logo for the Occult Encyclopedia. | |||
* The first featured quote was: "If you're going to be a sinner, be the best sinner on the block." by [[Anton Szandor LaVey]]. | |||

==Becoming an editor== | |||
If you would like to become an editor for the Occult Encyclopedia, please request an account from the administrator. We'd love to have your help building out the articles and expanding the knowledge base! | |||
==With gratitude== | |||
This wiki would not be possible without the hard work by the assistant editors over at [http://www.westarctica.wiki Encyclopedia Westarctica]. The success of that wiki (with nearly 1,000 articles published in only three years!) directly led to the creation and success of the Occult Encyclopedia. | |||
