About the event
Understanding Occultism
Occultism refers to a broad range of mystical, philosophical, and spiritual practices and beliefs that seek to explore hidden knowledge and the nature of existence. The term 'occult' comes from the Latin word 'occultus', meaning 'hidden' or 'secret'. Occultism encompasses various disciplines, including alchemy, astrology, magic, and divination, among others.
Key Concepts in Occultism
Hidden Knowledge: Occultists believe that there are truths about the universe that are not accessible through ordinary perception or scientific inquiry.
Spiritual Development: Many practitioners engage in occult practices as a means of personal and spiritual growth, seeking to understand their place in the cosmos.
Symbolism: Occultism often employs symbols and rituals to convey complex ideas and facilitate spiritual experiences.
