The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "knowledge of the hidden". In the medical sense it is used to refer to a structure or process that is hidden, e.g. an "occult bleed" may be one detected indirectly by the presence of otherwise unexplained anaemia. The word has many uses in the English language, popularly meaning "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable", usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes popularly taken to mean "knowledge meant only for certain people" or "knowledge that must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences. The terms esoteric and arcane can have a very similar meaning, and the three terms are often interchangeable. The term occult is also used as a label given to a number of magical organizations or orders, and the teachings and practices as taught by them. The name also extends to a large body of literature and spiritual philosophy. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by thepeng - Sun Nov 2 01:01:25 2008 In your opinion do you think the Gothic Subculture is Occult? Q. i got in arguement with a christian leader becuase he says that goth is a Occult based fashion. I told him he was prejudice becuase he was prejudging anyone who is goth whats your opinion? Asked by BringAndrewthehorizon - Fri Aug 29 17:45:58 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. You may want to politely inform said christian leader that he has no clue. Goth is just a music subculture (based of goth rock, a music genre that started in the late 70's/early 80's)... it has no more occult influence than any other... and it is NOT a fashion. "gothic" is considered a fashion based off the goth music scene but actually it is really just a form of new romanticism... Some people assume it is occult based due to some people wearing old symbols like the anhk, however that is just something individuals are adding to the look... not a base part of it. He really needs to learn more about the subculture before he tries to make assumptions about them or believes stereotypes.

Asked by Waiting for September - Thu Jan 29 23:55:54 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well, you could always look into Anthropology, and then go into Cultural Anthropology, and then from there specialize in ritualistic anthropology. I'm sure most junior colleges offer some sort of paranormal (at least, they do where I live) class(es). Also, most churches have some sort of paranormal team. If not, they should know a church with similar beliefs that do. You can look into those as well.
