An Occult thing is something that is clandestine, hidden, or secret. The word Occult comes from the Latin occultus, meaning "knowledge of the hidden". Websters defines Occult: To shut off from view or exposure"[1]
In modern usage, 'occult' refers to any one of a number of practices. These may include tarot cards, ouija boards, psychic powers, charms and spells of various forms, demonology and divining for resources. This list is not exclusive and many of these practices are regarded as superstition.
A Wizard is a person that possesses occult powers. It is derived from the Middle English word for 'wise.'
