Death
        

       
 


 		  

The act of dying; the state of being dead; termination or extinction. Ceasing to exist. Opposite to life. The act or the process of ceasing to live.


Also, a personification of the destroyer of life, represented as a skeleton holding a scythe.


Dying, the halting of all life functions, is the great unknown that neither science nor religion has ever been able to penetrate. Because it is both unknown and inevitable, death has always been an object of fascination and fear. See Immortality.

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.
