iWell Guard unites two purposes under one roof. A modern protective pendant made with German precision continues the millennia-old tradition of wearable protective objects. A religious-studies reference work documents gods, demons, spirits, beings of light and magical practices from all major cultures.
The lexicon as a space of knowledge
This site’s lexicon comprises more than 390 entries on beings from 28 cultures documented in the history of religion. It is organised into four classes of beings: gods, demons, spirits and beings of light. Each entry combines philological source references with iconographic description, regional distribution and protective practice.
The sources rely on standard works of comparative religious studies (Burkert, Eliade, Pauly-Wissowa, Simek, Bottéro, Scholem, Schimmel) as well as current handbooks of the history of religion and folklore studies.
The cluster hubs branch thematically by cultural level (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome, Germanic, Slavic, Celtic, Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Japan, China, Korea, Tibet, Vodou) and by practice level (harmful magic, love magic, necromancy, shamanic extraction, theurgy, sigil magic, geomancy, numerology).
