Sources and editorial method

This entry was generated from The Great Almanac's curated dictionary data and editorial safety rules. It is written as a concise reference page, not as a full encyclopedia article or a practical ritual manual.

The page starts with a direct definition, then separates use, example, caution, spiritual meaning, and historical context. For astrology, occult, demonology, curse, and spiritual warfare terms, the editorial rule is to explain the term without making fear-based, fatalistic, medical, legal, financial, or ritual-instruction claims.
