I am not really into the occult, but I like to read about it sometimes, and there are probably many people on this site into the Occult, and it would be good to have an Occult sub forum.
I think he means the more "hardcore" Crowley-esque occult as opposed to the "Q: How many New Agers does it take to change a light bulb? A: (Waaayyy too perky) We don't use light bulbs, we just think happy thoughts at our quartz crystals and they glow." group that we have here.
Guess it would depend on how many people are attracted to this post. I think the subject would be fun to talk about, but I am not sure how much stock I put in "supernatural" events.
I think it can hurt some (like me, as long as you dont define it properly and i dont know what is going on there)
