Support the Project
Every page on this site takes real research time — tracing an origin claim back to an actual historical source, or an actual documented cultural practice, takes a lot longer than repeating whatever the last listicle said. If TheOmenBook has been useful or just fun to read, a small donation directly funds more of that research.
Donations are processed securely through Stripe, start at $5, and go toward research time, hosting, and eventually paying specialist folklore reviewers for specific cultural traditions we want to cover in more depth.
Where the money actually goes
Concretely: hosting and basic operating costs come first, then research time for new omens (particularly ones that need a specialist's read on a specific tradition rather than a general search), and beyond that, paying reviewers with real cultural or academic grounding in a specific tradition to check pages for accuracy before they publish.
If a donation isn't the right fit for you right now, sharing a page you found genuinely useful, or buying the companion guide, both help just as much — every bit of attention helps this stay a real research project rather than a rushed content mill.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my donation refundable?+
Donations are voluntary and non-refundable, the same as any tip or support payment.
Do I get anything for donating?+
Donating is simply a way to support the research — it isn't tied to a specific product or perk, unlike the paid companion guide.
Is there a maximum donation amount?+
No — $5 is the minimum, and you're welcome to give more if you'd like to support a larger share of the research directly.
Is my payment information secure?+
Yes — donations are processed entirely through Stripe's secure checkout, and we never see or store your card details ourselves.
Will I get a receipt for my donation?+
Yes — Stripe automatically emails a receipt to the address you provide at checkout.
