What is Exupedia?

Exupedia is a collaborative encyclopedia (in the style of Wikipedia) dedicated to gathering, organizing, and standardizing information in the form of articles on entities, symbolic systems, and traditions of occultism, with its own editorial curation.

It encompasses, among other topics:

• Exus and Pombagiras (lines, phalanxes, functions, ritual points, epithets, and symbols);
• Daemons and hierarchies (names, attributes, correspondences, and historical sources);
• Entities and spirits (ancestors, powerful dead ones, guides, and emissaries);
• Òrìṣà and Ìmọlẹ̀ (Yorùbá tradition), Minkisi (Bantu traditions), and Afro-diasporic cosmologies;
• Occultism in general: grimoires, magical traditions, symbolism, rites, terminology, calendars, and history.

The proposal is to be simultaneously:

• an encyclopedia (complete and structured articles);
• an occult dictionary (concise and standardized definitions);
• a source index, with cross-references and citations.

Scope and editorial policies

Exupedia prioritizes documented and comparable content, with clear language, consistent structure, and explicit references.

What we value:

• Primary sources (grimoires, manuscripts, liturgies, and historical documents);
• Secondary sources (research, critical analysis, and comparative studies);
• Practical neutrality — description of beliefs without catechesis;
• Taxonomic organization: entities → attributes → correspondences → rites → variants → sources.

What we do not publish:

• Content that encourages violence, crime, or harassment;
• Personal data, doxxing, or religious persecution;
• Instructions that violate local laws.

Curatorship and Doctrinal Line

Exupedia is editorially curated by contributors aligned with the public canon of the Ordo Strigosatanis (O∴S∴), as expressed in its official publications and in initiatory reference documents such as Liber CCXVIII vel Clavis Acheris.

Its editorial line emphasizes:

• the Klépoth (Tree of Death) as an initiatory and operative cartography;
• Exu and Pombagira as intelligences of threshold and passage (in the public canon: Powerful Dead Ones);
• the integration of currents such as Thelema, Obeah, and Wanga/Kimbanda.

Editorial note: Exupedia is an encyclopedic project. Sources are presented and contextualized; beliefs are not imposed on the reader.
