This project is a combined effort of interested Wikipedia editors to categorize, expand, and create articles relating to the occult. Please join our discussions on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Occult|project talk]]. WikiProject Occult covers topics, such as:
;[[Magic]] ([[Magick]]): Various supernatural and mystical practices, such as folk magic or the form of ceremonial magic popularized by [[Aleister Crowley]]; included are forms of practice known as [[black magic|black]] and [[white magic]], [[brujeria]], stregeria, [[hoodoo]], and sorcery.
;[[Secret organization]]s: Societies, groups, and organizations that conceal their activities from outsiders.
;[[secret society|Secret fraternal order]]s: Those groups and organizations called "secret societies" and [[Fraternal order|esoteric order]]s.
;[[Mystery religion]]s: Societies, groups, and organizations with a belief system based around a mystery.
;[[Ceremonial magic|Occultic ritual]]s and [[theurgy]]: Rituals and rites which are a part of a ceremony, often composed of long, elaborate, and "''hidden''" set of actions.
;[[Invocation|Occult terminology]]: Terms describing practices encountered in esoteric practices, including (but not limited to) [[supplication]] or prayers, conjurations, spells, incantations, and cantrips.
;[[Esotericism|Occultic knowledge]]: Arcane knowledge, which includes knowledge that is esoteric or obscure or has deliberately been veiled from common discussion.
;[[List of occult writers|Occult author]]s: Writers whose works deal directly rather than sociologically with occult topics, who present instructive or theoretical knowledge that has been "hidden", or who take as their theme a spiritual or magical reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences.
;Occult books and pamphlets: Books describing magical beliefs and practices, such as [[Grimoire]]s, instructions in spell-craft, and [[Thelema|Thelemite text]]s.
;[[Symbolism]]: Representative symbols that carry interpreted meanings in addition to or apart from their use as literal representations of concepts; such symbols may be figurative or they may consist of symbolic meanings applied to common natural objcts, colors, scents, and numbers.

These articles should all be included in the [[:Category:Occult]], or one of its subcategories.
