Karma
A term, derived from the
Sanskrit 'deed', which describes a fundamental concept in Hinduism and Buddhism that
thoughts and deeds determine the consequences of one's life and rebirth.
Karma may therefore loosely be
described as the law of consequences. In a popular sense, karma is sometimes regarded as
the Eastern equivalent of the Western 'destiny' or 'fate', but this is an erroneous view.
Karma is properly regarded as the fruits of action in a previous lifetime which determines
the conditions of a life in a subsequent incarnation; this is quite different from the
Western concept of destiny, which is not necessarily connected with deeds of a previous
existence.
Karma can be either good or bad, with
relative consequences, and is generally viewed as inescapable, though various techniques
of meditation and chanting exist to try to mitigate it.

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 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

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.
