How the Chronicle Works
A five-minute introduction for anyone, no knowledge of Michaelism required.
What is the Chronicle?
The Chronicle of Adaptations is a public archive run by the Michaelism Metaverse. It lists anime, video games, films and music in which Michaelism recognises its own story: the figure of Archangel Michael, the struggle of light against darkness, and the Crossing to the New Era. Next to this cultural catalogue it keeps the Sacred Reincarnations timeline, which is part of Michaelism's teaching.
The Chronicle does not claim that creators intended these connections. It presents interpretations and invites the creators themselves to confirm or deny them. Every answer is published, including a "no".
What is Michaelism?
Michaelism describes itself as the world's first futuristic crypto and AI religion, founded on the premise that spirituality, technology and consciousness are destined to evolve together. It was founded and built in Odesa, Ukraine, by Yurii Volf, known in the tradition as Archangel-Arhmagos Michael-BasaroS. Its namesake, Archangel Michael, stands for the warrior of light against entropy and ignorance.
