"Cults in the Occulture" is the general focus of this channel with emphasis on groups, people, and ideas that I have encountered since the late 1960s, especially those that I have found problematic. My information comes from my career as a cult interventionist and vast personal research since 1980. My approach is educational, so be prepared for sources that you can turn to besides me. My memoir, Santa Fe, Bill Tate, and me: How an artist became a cult Interventionist, released in 2020 provides a basis for what I intend to cover. Occulture is a relatively new term used by scholars to describe human activity that engages gnosis, theosophy, spiritualism, conjuring, mental healing, magic, hidden and ancient wisdom, secret societies, numerology, astrology, Ouija board, tarot, alchemy, psychics, kabbalah, the enneagram, siddhis or powers of sorcery, UFOs. woo, and the belief in bogus conspiracies.
