Aporrheta

          

  

Original Artwork © John Jude Palencar            
from the Time-Life book 'Wizards and Witches.'           

 


Alternatively spelled Apporrheta.


 A Greek word relating to the secret esoteric instructions and discourses revealed to initiates during ceremonies in the Egyptian and Grecian mysteries.


 Aporrheta indicates the secret understanding of the adepts, the things only known to the initiated.


The unspeakable, the unmentionable, the secret wisdom, the forbidden things, the hidden doctrines, the undisclosed principles, the restricted guidelines that only the enlightened — or a member of a secret society — are supposed to have knowledge of.

Make certain your browser permissions are set accordingly and that you have the latest Flash plug-in for the full experience, proper look and accurate layout.


If using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, clicking (or pressing the SPACEBAR or ENTER) on the Flash graphics is necessary to activate it. If using the latest versions of Firefox or Netscape, adjusting the browser trust permissions to "ENABLE MAXIMUM SITE FUNCTIONALITY" is required to fully enjoy Occultopedia's features and Flash graphics. You can do it with confidence. This site does not contain any viruses or any malicious software or script.


As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated. Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one person working on this site in my spare time.


As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the Forums, so we can all discuss the occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please. Registration will be required.


Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be patient and understanding.
           






           

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny, shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the curious and the unusual.


Occultopedia respects your privacy. As such, no cookies or any other tracking software will be installed as a part of this website's original programming. I do not seek to obtain any personal information beyond what is volunteered through electronic communications (e.g. emails & forms).


Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate programs, and the little revenue I get from these is to pay for hosting, bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance. For more details, visit my ordering information page.


 Occultopedia is a FREE online resource available to the whole world. Usage of my word definitions and articles by educational institutions, teachers and students alike, is here by granted.
