The occult encompasses both trendy New-Age images as well as the dark and sinister rumors of curses and "black Magic."  It includes knowledge about voodoo, mysticism, the Tarot and other related "magic" popular among the sleepers.  Unlike most other Knowledges, Occult does not imply a command of the hard, factual information; much of what you know may well be rumor, myth, speculation or hearsay.  However, the secrets to be learned in this field are worth centuries of sifting legend from fact.  High levels of Occult imply a deep understanding of supernatural lore, as well as a good grounding in other aspects of the occult; at the very least, you can discern what is patently false.
