What is occultism?
What is occultism that studies unknown areas?
Occultism is an ancient discipline, which contains almost all knowledge in the Middle Ages, involving herbal medicine, history, religion, philosophy, mythology, etc.; there are also many systems in occultism, such as Wika, Golden Dawn, Ilude, etc.; Among them, alchemy is more similar to magic than witchcraft, and magic is not as gorgeous as described in novels and TV shows. It cannot make hands shine or make objects burn out of thin air. Magic is dark and obscure; magic advocates conservativeness. , while modern science advocates openness. It is worth mentioning here that levitation can be achieved, but it is not magic, it belongs to yoga

Occultism (English: Oult )
Refers to supernatural metaphysics, that is, the knowledge about mysterious forces.
Refers to the study of "secret knowledge" or "concealed knowledge".
To most occultists, the occult refers to metaphysics, knowledge that cannot be understood using logical reasoning or existing physical science. It mainly studies metaphysical knowledge such as traditional religious beliefs, metaphysics, divination, witchcraft, cultivation, and meditation. There are also many people who try to find a world view beyond the current religious and philosophical dogma. What is Occultism?
Occultism (Oulti ***, Mystici ***) refers to the knowledge about mysterious power and the study of "secret knowledge" or "concealed knowledge". "Occultism" is a term that has not yet been clearly defined. This word can hardly be found in Chinese dictionaries, but it is explained in the American Heritage Dictionary as "the study of the supernatural."
It is generally believed that occult science should include the categories of Yixue, metaphysics, qigong, supernatural powers, spirituality, witchcraft, yoga and other supernatural phenomena. This is the easiest term to understand literally.
Source It is generally believed that Western mysticism has three major sources: ancient Egypt, Hebrew, and Greco-Roman. Each tradition has different characteristics.
1. Ancient Egypt: Ancient Egyptian civilization is the oldest source of Western mysticism. During the later conquests of the Roman Empire, it gradually lost its independence and entered the culture of Greece and Rome. As a result many theories were lost and most of the information comes from the records of Greek travelers. In modern times, the most representative ancient Egyptian mysticism in modern Western mysticism is the "Eye of Horus" commonly used in ritual magic, Tarot, alchemy, etc.
2. Hebrew: The Hebrew civilization was originally a branch of the Middle East. Due to war and travel, it absorbed some Chaldeans, Sumerians, Egyptians, Babylonians and Phoenicians. Human culture, and the Judaism they believed in, established the original "monotheism", from which one of the most influential sects in mysticism - Kabala (Kabalah) developed.
3. Greece and Rome: Greek civilization created the core ideas of occultism, from which occult philosophy, astrology, and spiritual numbers were born. What does occultism include
Everything that cannot be explained by science
