| | | Climacterics
From the Latin 'annus climactericus', an ancient belief that certain years in the course of life are more liable to danger or change than others. Also, a critical period in a person's life where major changes in health or fortune are thought to take place.
The most important of the climacterics are the septenary years 7, 14, 21, 28, etc. which are associated with lunar periodicities linked by such occultists as Madame Helena P. Blavatsky and Rudolf Steiner with the soul's growth.

shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since 1995 — at first in a free web space provider

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. |
