Ibis
A sacred bird of the
ancient Egyptians, with a white body and a black head and tail. Its average
length is around 30 inches, it has a long slender down-curved black bill,
and a long upper neck. The lower neck, upper body and wings have white
feathers. The legs are long and the feet are partly webbed.
The Ibis was believed
to be the incarnation of Thoth
and was often mummified after death, sometimes even buried with the pharaohs.
Carvings of it are found in many Egyptian monuments.
Today the Sacred Ibis
is rarely found in Egypt, but is common in
the Nile marshes of the upper Sudan and in Africa south of the Sahara, where
they are valuable to farmers by helping control pests in agricultural
crops.

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
