< Occultism >

Belief in hidden and mysterious powers and the possibility of subjecting them to control. In occult terminology it is described as the science of perfected having, which explains the brotherhood of sentient beings and the triumph of natural laws over human management.  Strictly speaking, anything that is hidden is occult; and when scientifically established and published, it is no longer occult.
