Documenting the reality of the spirits of Gensokyo.
Finding spirituality in the most unlikely of places.
Welcome to the Archive of the Sealed Gods. The purpose of this project is to explore and document the esoteric in Touhou Project games and the associated media.
The worldbuilding of this well-beloved doujin media empire is full of refrences to real life mythology, religion, esoteric traditions, paranormal, occult and fringe science ideas.
These ideas strongly root the games and their associated print works in to the more numinous, magical and mysterious side of reality.
This no doubt greatly contributes to what people refer to when they say Touhou is "souled".
However, this project poses a bold statement based on 6+ years of research into paranormal and occult topics as well multiple individual's (including my own) experiences:
Touhou is "souled" in a literal sense
You are warmly welcome to view this charming and terrifying franchise in an entirely new light. Perhaps you will learn something along the way.
Some might even find something life-changing here.
Please wait warmly...this site is incomplete
This site is meant to be an evolving, living text, a dialogue and not a monologue. However, I intend to eventually produce downloadable texts based on the contents of this site.
Please check this site from time to time if you become interested in the topic.
Please note that there are some texts dealing with mature topics related to the Touhou Project and spirituality here. Please leave if you are not an adult.
