- Various supernatural and mystical practices, such as folk magic or the form of ceremonial magic popularized by Aleister Crowley; included are forms of practice known as black and white magic, brujeria, stregeria, hoodoo, and sorcery.
- Secret organizations

- Secret fraternal orders
- Those groups and organizations called "secret societies" and esoteric orders.
- Mystery religions
- Societies, groups, and organizations with a belief system based around a mystery.
- Occultic rituals and theurgy
- Rituals and rites which are a part of a ceremony, often composed of long, elaborate, and "hidden" set of actions.
- Occult terminology
- Terms describing practices encountered in esoteric practices, including (but not limited to) supplication or prayers, conjurations, spells, incantations, and cantrips.
- 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.
