I've always been interested in the occult. I've read every book I can get my hands on throughout most of my life, beginning in my teens. I can't say there is one definitive book about the occult. Each one has added a bit of knowledge. I'll go through my collection this weekend to try to find a good place to start. There's a podcast I used to listen to that has some decent knowledge for a beginner. It's called conspiracy theories and unpopular culture. I'm not sure if it's still around. The guy shares all his reference material. He focuses on the occult in pop culture. Once you see it you can't un-see it. You'll notice occult symbolism everywhere. Literally everywhere. I can't turn on the TV because it's blatantly in everything you watch. Programming you. I haven't watched TV much in years. We are surrounded by it in all aspects of our lives. Not just human created.

Symbols and sounds of the occult come from nature. Our subconscious picks up on them even though the conscious mind doesn't register them. The universe itself is a fractal. One repeating pattern after another. Hence as above, so below. Also why history repeats itself.

When you dig deeper you come to understand everything is energy. Good spoke the world into existence. Day 1 he created light. Look into soluminesence. Pretty interesting science showing how sound can create light. Cymatics give an understanding how sound effects cellular structure. It's all connected. Everything on every level.

We as a species only see a small fraction of visible light. Most of reality takes place in frequencies we can neither see nor hear.

As far as the satanic elite go. Their beliefs can be traced back to Babylonian culture. What we're witnessing today is their attempt to bring back their "golden age".

Just looked up that podcast. He changed there name to Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture
