Step into the hidden world of the Occult with our class, Introduction to the Occult.
🗝️ This two-hour lecture invites you to uncover the original meaning of the word occult—“that which is hidden”—and trace how this secret knowledge has shaped culture, spirituality, and esoteric traditions through the ages.
🧿 The Occult has always carried with it a sense of mystery, transformation, and symbolism. From the wisdom of ancient temples and mystery schools to the secret orders of Europe and the revival of hidden arts in more recent times, the current of occult knowledge has never disappeared. It has been preserved, challenged, and re-emerged in new forms, offering seekers a way to look beyond the ordinary world into the mysteries of the unseen.
📜 In Introduction to the Occult, we will explore how this knowledge was transmitted across civilizations, why it was often suppressed or encoded, and how it continues to influence modern thought. You’ll gain a structured overview of the key movements, ideas, and figures that helped carry occult teachings forward, giving you a foundation to build upon in your own studies.
🕯️ Unlike surface-level introductions, this class is designed to provide clarity and substance. It helps you separate myth from authentic tradition and gives you the language to understand what the Occult truly represents.
