Definition: Occult

The dictionary defines the occult as the world of the supernatural, mystical or magical, but trying to come up with a clear understanding is a little like taking apart a car's engine. The more parts you see, the further you are from understanding the problem.

A reason for the confusion is that the occult covers many activities from the relatively harmless, such as reading your horoscope and fortune-telling, to the dangerous, such as witch-craft and devil worship. Despite this wide range, occult practices are linked by one identifying element: belief in a power greater than—and opposite to—God's.
