the occult is the truth

so studying the occult is finding the hidden wisdon, the truth behind the lies and stuff like that.

i did when i was younger.. i went through this whole charmed/ buffy the vampire slayer phase and then realised i was getting into somthing i didnt want to get into.

I found some old texts and sat reading them and sometimes i had sleepless nights over them it was horrible. Don't mess with things we don't yet understand is my advice :P

Would you like to inform me of how they're childish? They're associated with near enough everything that occult stands for. Get off your high horse, will you?

Just because it's not Satanism and conspiracy doesn't mean it's not occult

Why study it if you have no hope of understanding it?

No it isn't. As I've previously said, it stands for near enough everything occult does. Just because it's dramatised, doesn't mean it's not occult. What sort of thing is that to say? Maybe you're the one who doesn't understand the occult, not everybody else.

They're just elitists then who probably think themselves better than the rest of the world for knowing these "hidden truths" which you can get off a google search

The television programmes in question were based on the occult, which literally is anything supernatural and beyond our comprehension. Do not get snippy over people making legitimate references.

And no, I do not study the occult, I prefer just to read my fiction.
