If anyone wants to get into the Occult Mark Passio has some fine work on the subject. Ex-Satanist priest of 7 years practicing for 10. I know the dude can be a bit bearing to listen to (very stern in approach) but a lot can be learned. Some things covered:
What, exactly, IS The Occult? Why should YOU know about it? What kind of knowledge comprises The Occult? Who possesses such knowledge, and how do they use it? How is Occultism different from Mysticism? What can the secret language of Symbolism communicate? How is Symbolism being used in our everyday lives?

There's also part 2 of the whole series which gets more into satanism and dark occultism.
Great resource, thank you.
