My new online course is coming! What Is the Occult? is an exploration of all that weird shit from 80s movies and Buffy and the creepy section at the library your parents told you to stay away from. It’s a look at why the occult is more important than ever, even if you’re a total atheist. How can the occult amplify your understanding of politics, science, art, and more?
The course is on 3/12 and only $15.00 for a standard ticket (with other ticket levels available)! If you can’t attend the day of, don’t worry! Your ticket gets you exclusive 90-day access to a recording of the whole thing! Watch the trailer and sign up!
More on the course:
It’s easy enough to talk about the occult. You know: wands, cauldrons, tarot cards, naked women in the woods and robed men in English libraries. It’s also not hard to point out the occult in history and politics; whether it’s the infamous UK magus Aleister Crowley, Ronald and Nancy Reagan’s interest in psychics and astrology, or the Salem witch trials.
But what is the occult? Is it a philosophy? A practice? A reservoir of power? Mumbo jumbo anti-science and delusion?
And why should you care, anyway?
In this live interactive course and Q&A, writer, teacher, and activist Conner Habib will conjure up a definition that outlines just how radical, exciting, and useful the occult is, especially in our dynamic and intense moment in history.
– How the occult can and does figure into your everyday life, even if you’re not a practitioner (or a believer!).
– Why the occult is so stigmatized in our culture, and how to puruse it without shame anyway.
– Differing philosophies of the occult across disciplines and practitioners.
– How the occult relates to politics, economics, and science.
– Whether or not this is all just a bunch of hocus-pocus bunk.
and much more!
Conner will guide you through the complex, fascinating, and sometimes just plain weird world of the occult in this live, online course. It’s for the beginner and the adept alike.

Just a thought, don’t we make the occult what it is. On a sunny beautiful day would it be as scary, or is that sanctioned only for night with rain and thunder. We, through media, have been trained to see black as evil, and white as good. Ugly as the rapist, and handsome as or saviors. Most of that is rubbish. Many criminals are good looking and are successful with crime because who would expect them. Just a thought.
