Occultism in Politics


Listen Later

The word “Occult” is difficult to define, and because of this many have different understandings to what it means. To some it is a fascinating world of paranormal and mystery. To others it represents sorcery and darkness. Historically, the ideology of Occultism has been thought of with fear, bias, or that people use it for unscrupulous reasons. But historically, this was not necessarily the case.

In decades past, the word occult dealt with anything outside what was considered natural thinking, and many times thinking outside the box is something that people in power had to do. Would it be surprising to you then to hear that Occultism is been part of politics throughout history?
