Is Kate here? Greg may be able to help too.

Occult knowledge. Would stuff like believing in a higher power be considered that? Or not? Or can you consider it to be whatever you want?

Hopefully the annoying little kid.
Seriously. That dickshit has cost a few lives already.

Sorta. Occult really means "hidden"... at least in its Latin roots. So in most contexts, it deals with the paranormal -- ghosts and demons and kooky things like that. Whether that's a higher power or not isn't necessarily straightforward, as it's more about powers you can't readily perceive.

Ok. So I suppose I could make an argument about it. And it's sorta like that. Science fiction stuff. I'm just relating it to God. Thanks a bunch. :tup:

Though I am curious as to why you would think I know about the occult (which I do, though more limited to 16th century esotericism). And Risa thinks I wear peach dresses.

This has been an educational evening.
Because I posses occult knowledge and am a genius.

But no, I was just looking for more of a general description/definition and since you major in library I thought you would've read your fair share of books and know what's up.

:lol: Fair do's.

Now why do I get this vision of the movie Bridesmaids, starring the lovely ladies of Juventuz in peach dresses?
Have you seen this film?
