12-CLASSIFYING A SPIRIT (
CDI System)
13-Superstitions, Folklore and the Occult Sciences
As you can see, the sections are not quite uniform... which isn't a big deal, though at the moment, South America may just get lumped into a generic "Americas" or "New World" section.
If you'd like to provide an article, feel free to post and contact me via PM. This post in the original project lists a TON of article ideas to choose from:
Tobin's Spirit Guide! (RESEARCH SIGN-UP POST 364!)
At this point, I just need raw text. We're estimating about 250-500 words per article, though our layout will be quite fluid, so even this has plenty of leeway (one article I have is over 1200 words, for example). Not all entries will require artwork either and we'll be doing some AI generated art, so if you can provide artwork great, but if not no biggie. If you can though, it has to be in the style of an old wood-cut or similar 19th century to early 20th century lineart suitable for black ink printing.
Let's get this project going!
Kind regards,
Indy
