...the word occult, despite conjuring images of devil worship, actually means โhiddenโ or โobscured.โ In times of religious oppression, knowledge that was counterdoctrinal had to be kept hidden or โoccult,โ and because the church felt threatened by this, they redefined anything โoccultโ as evil, and the prejudice survived.
