| | Occult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The word occult comes from Latin occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to the 'knowledge of the secret' or 'knowledge of the hidden' and often meaning 'knowledge of the supernatural', as opposed to 'knowledge of the visible' or 'knowledge of the measurable', usually referred to as science. | | | Some religious denominations view the occult as being anything supernatural which is not done by the power of their faith, but by the power of an opposing and therefore malevolant entity. | | | The beliefs and practices of those who consider their activities "occult" or part of "the occult" in the more usual western interpretation 'hidden knowledge' (ceremonial magicians, and so on) are generally far from being secret or hidden, being found very easily in print or on the Internet. |

| | Occult Slayer |
| | Occult slayers believe that mortals are too irresponsible to wield magic, and that those who do so recklessly must be slain. | | | The occult slayer is a single-minded warrior, driven to rid the world of both arcane and divine spellcasters. | | | If a divination is attempted against the occult slayer, the caster of the divination must succeed on a caster level check against a DC of 16 + the level of the occult slayer. |

| | CANA - Occult Terms |
| | Historically, occult practices are connected to the worship of false gods and to child sacrifice; however, it should be noted that occultists today deny belief in these practices and usually claim to use their abilities and powers for good. | | | The three major forms of the occult are spirit contact (spiritism), divination (often called fortunetelling, although that term does not fully describe the practice), and magick/sorcery. | | | Not all of these terms relate directly to occult practices; some are included because they may have occult content or are used peripherally to occult or New Age practices. |

| | CANA - Occult |
| | The occult is a set of practices associated with many diverse beliefs often based on monism (all is one; there is a life force uniting all creation) and pantheism (all is God; the life force is God). | | | Occult practices are strongly condemned by God; such practices lead away from God toward deception, danger and even destruction. | | | Neopaganism or paganism is an umbrella term for a variety of contemporary belief systems, including witchcraft and Wicca, that revere nature and which practice goddess worship and/or polytheism. |

| | The World of the Occult - Probe Ministries |
| | A brief definition of the occult is the practice of attaining supernatural knowledge or powers apart from the God of the Bible. | | | The first is disillusionment with the church and organized religion. | | | The primary danger of the occult is that it is a path away from God that can bring us into contact with the demonic realm. |

| | The concept of evolution is an ancient occult doctrine (the concept of avatars). | | | Some theologians believe these occult doctrines were propagated on earth before the flood by fallen angels (see Genesis 6).18 The ensuing results were the violence and bloodshed which prompted God to judge the earth with a universal flood. | | | A leader of the women's movement urges her followers to return to the ancient religions in which female deities were worshiped (witchcraft). |

| | Dear Fr. Alexander, |
| | It is that which uncovers the vile theomachistic (God-fighting) nature of occult spirits: an unexplainable aversion to God and all other holy things experienced by a person after having received from the occultists any form of "help." To a person of faith, a sudden change in his spiritual frame of mind is especially perceptible. | | | If a steadfast faith in God ennobles man, then an unhealthy faith in the occult cripples him spiritually. | | | A person who is pursuing the occult is not seeking Christ when he goes to church, but a bioenergy. |

| | Modern occult art is, however, radically different from the temple art of the ancient Egypt, or that of the modern day Hindu or Buddhist. | | | Often these other realms are referred to as "astral", and it has been an abiding concern of occultism to map these realms, and to explore them. | | | Foremost is the view that there are other realms aside from the mundane world which we might refer to as the real world. |

| | The Nineteenth Century Occult Revival |
| | As the occult Traditions have sought to infiltrate and transform the secular establishment, the Church has historically been attended by an Alexandrian Tradition, which seeks to smuggle Gnostic doctrines into the Sacred Canon via the "revision" or "correction" of Scripture. | | | Under the veneer of the revival of arts and refinement of culture, interest in the occult, magic and astrology flourished as a substitute for religious faith. | | | Of the nineteenth century cast of noteworthy characters, it may be postulated that two figures stand preeminently at the fountainhead of the converging streams of twentieth century Spiritualism and globalism. |

| | Mormonism and the Occult? |
| | These examples illustrate the fact that sometimes the line between "magic" and "divine power," and between the "occult" and "religion," can be very hard to draw. | | | What might appear to be "occultic" to one person could be viewed by someone else as a legitimate manifestation of divine power. | | | In large part, the answer to this question depends on how one defines the word "occult." For instance, if one sees Joseph Smith's seer stone as evidence of a connection with the "occult," how does that person explain the Old Testament Urim and Thummim, which consisted of two divining stones carried in a breastplate? |
