Land of the Occult

“ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” — Matthew 24:4*

The United States of America’s love affair with the occult and the demonic never seem to make it into the history books for some reason. Instead, Americans are treated to the obvious lie that Europeans came to the new world in search of opportunities to worship God. I think it would be more accurate to say immigrants came here to worship a god or goddess, not Yahweh as found in the Bible. Additionally, Americans have been taught they many came to this country searching for religious freedom.

While this was true, the freedom they were searching for was not to practice Christianity, as we’ve been led to believe. It was the freedom to practice something much better. Europeans came for primarily two reasons: an opportunity to make money; and an opportunity to practice their dark arts in a land that offered protection instead of prosecution for these rituals. America was a land that offered the protection of the government for all who placed their trust in the occult.

The word occult is loaded with all sorts of misunderstandings. To some it means devil worship and witchcraft. To others it is just a concoction of superstition and nonsense. According to the author of “Occult America,” Mitch Horowitz, it refers to a type of spirituality that re-emerges during the Renaissance through texts from the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. A spirituality that persists to this day.
