About Witchipedia
The Witchipedia is an online encyclopedia of witchcraft, magick and the occult. It was originally created in 2006, moved to the Wikidot server in 2009, moved to WordPress in 2019, and in 2023 acquired by Magickal Spot.
The Witchipedia was created to be an online reference and collection of magical and spiritual information and resources for Witches, Pagans, Heathens and anyone on a magical spiritual path.
It is not meant to provide any services or training; it is a reference.
How it all started?
It all started with an assignment. When Dawn Black was in college, a professor challenged their students to each produce a one-page summary of a scientific journal article in easy-to-understand language, free of jargon, weekly.
Dawn’s Gemini brain loved this assignment. It was a wonderful thought challenge that sent her down a rabbit hole of additional studies and references that often distilled down to very simple concepts. The exercise helped Dawn understand each concept better too!
Glossary of Magical and Occult Terms
