Occultism

By Jason Bristol
Spring 2014 Occultism. The word itself conjures up images of cults like the one Jim Jones created, satanic cults, sacrifices; but occultism is much more, some being bad and some being good. If you believe in your astrological sign then you can be considered an occultist. We take a look at what occultism is, and its reception around the world as well as acquiring a deeper understanding of satanic cults and their existence in Connecticut.
