Studies in Occultism by H.P. Blavatsky Practical Occultism - Occultism Versus the Occult Arts Occultism is not magic. It is comparatively easy to learn the trick of spells and the methods of using the subtler, but still material, forces of physical nature; the powers of the animal soul in man are soon awakened; the forces which his love, his hate, his passion, can call into operation, are readily developed. But this is Black Magic--Sorcery. For it...
