This is the place for useful links in researching for a possible persona, shadow, or whatnot, as well as information on Japanese life, cuisine, or anything else of not. Feel free to add your own links!

Contents

Folklore, Mythology, and Urban Legend Research

  • Buddhist & Shinto Deities in Japan - While this focuses more on artwork depicting various deities, it's an excellent source for Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism, and the various ways deities are depicted.
  • Encyclopedia Mythica - A site devoted to all sorts of myths and folklore from around the world. Some of the more obscure figures are little more than blurbs, but it's a good place to check.
  • Godchecker.com - An irreverent take on mythology. Some entries are short, and the site has a tendency of getting overworked, but it's a fun place to look.
  • Monstropedia - An encyclopedia devoted to monsters in mythology, folklore, urban legend, and popular fiction.
  • The Obakemono Project - A stylish site dedicated to supernatural creatures in Japanese mythology and folklore.
  • Wikipedia: List of legendary creatures by type - A sorted list of all sorts of legendary creatures.

Language

Tarot and Jungian Psychology Resources

  • A Glossary of Jungian Terminology - Ever wondered about what some of the Jungian terminology flung around in the games means?
  • Aeclectic.net - A good overview of the tarot and their symbolism. Also includes symbolism for reversed cards.
  • An Introduction to Jung's Shadow - Like it says, an introduction to the Shadow as Jung uses it. Useful for thinking about your character's Shadow, among other things.
  • CG Jung Page - More Jungian Psychology than you can shake a stick at.
  • The Fool's Journey - Another good overview of the tarot. This link's specifically to the Fool's Journey and the Major Arcana, but the site also has information on the Minor Arcana.

Shin Megami Tensei Resources

  • Baroco - This French website has a lot of rare items, including a full gallery of mostly all the personae from Persona 1 and Persona 3. It also has an adorable Jack Frost that can sit on your desktop, though it gets confused with Vista. T-T
  • Megami Tensei Wiki - All the information you could want on the games and characters. It also includes a host of demons, Personas and other things suitable for adoption on the MUSH.
  • Popanime Megaten Wiki - The other notable SMT wiki out there.
  • The Heretic Mansion - A browsable list of all the demons from Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne. Since the latter Persona games use many of the same models, it's very useful.

Other

  • Moon Phases - Dates for full moons. If you've played Persona 3, you know exactly why this is useful.
  • Seventh Sanctum - Lots and lots of generators for almost anything. Need a random manga title? It's covered. Need a random description for an NPC? They've got that, too.
  • Time Zone Converter - Great for scheduling across timezones!
  • WolframAlpha - You can feed this thing any date, or logical phrase, and it will look up information including moon phase and similar things. Try it out and play with it!
