this is an honest question, what's the point of the occult then? It seems that by and large occultists live significantly worse lives that average people. Take for example contemporary occult writer John Michael Greer, he lives in abject poverty and struggles to feed himself by his own admission. What does occultism even do or get you if it is unable to materially benefit you in any way? Occultists seem to me to be neither happier, more sociable, more well off, healthier, or even at peace with the world than non-occultists. I legitimately don't understand the appeal if the knowledge gained from the occult is useless for quite literally every human pursuit beyond impressing weird girls in your undergrad humanities program.
