The "occult" is seldom accompanied semantically with "science". It is both non-Christian and also pre-modern science, that include even alchemy. It is a study of gaining knowledge and perhaps even some mastery of the order that is hidden to our basic physical senses, or in more contemporary terms a science of trans-dimensional insight and agency. Let's keep in mind that the being see as the avatar/spiritual guide of Aleister Crowley was very similar to what UFOlogists call "Greys". Or the "demons", or the "djin". These so-called "sky gods" exist but they are mostly beyond our realm, to a point where their occasional manifestation are not relevant to our daily businesses. But they do intersect with our realm on some level... which one, and at what level... this is the hidden part. The occult also involves getting into contact with these supra-human entities.
