Occultic knowledge

Arcane knowledge, which includes knowledge that is esoteric or obscure or has deliberately been veiled from common discussion.

Occult authors

Writers whose works deal directly rather than sociologically with occult topics, who present instructive or theoretical knowledge that has been "hidden", or who take as their theme a spiritual or magical reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences.

Occult books and pamphlets

Books describing magical beliefs and practices, such as Grimoires, instructions in spell-craft, and Thelemite texts.

Symbolism

Representative symbols that carry interpreted meanings in addition to or apart from their use as literal representations of concepts; such symbols may be figurative or they may consist of symbolic meanings applied to common natural objcts, colors, scents, and numbers.

These articles should all be included in the Category:Occult, or one of its subcategories.
