The History of the Occult
Amulet of Charlemagne
This website is dedicated to the fabulous objects, both artistic and powerful, of occult and religious lore--stones of power, magic knives and spears, amulets and wands--and their histories and present locations.
Where possible, we will show current photos of existing and known objects in both private and public hands. These photos can be difficult to obtain.
We will give background information on the religious and magical background of these objects, mythology and provenance.
The history of the occult, as it relates to these objects of power will be discussed and analyzed. Please note that we are constantly updating and adding to this site. There is still a lot to do, and many connections to be made amongst the varied strands of history depicted here.
The wonderful objects we will be chronicling here, like the Holy Grail, Cleopatra's Eye (Sphere of Destiny), The Spear of Destiny, and the Ark of the Covenant each have their own fascination and mythos.
We welcome our fellow students of this fascinating subject!
