Occult
The word occult comes from Latin occultus (hidden), referring to supposed secret or hidden knowledge of the supernatural. See occultism.Many (especially conservative Christians) use it to refer many practices which they disapprove of but which those who participate in it do not consider occult (Dungeons & Dragons, heavy metal music, even sometimes Catholicism!).
Even for those who do consider what they are doing occult (e.g. ceremonial magicians, Satanists, etc.), their beliefs and practices are normally far from being secret or hidden, being found very easily (in books or on the Internet).

Joe,
An' a dude that come courtin' our girl left a slice
Or twisted his tail he would never demur;
For his tongue.html">tongue 'u'd hang out an' he'd laff an' he'd laff;
He wuz drug clean ashore by that bench-legged fyce!
We all hev our choice, an' you, like the rest,
I wouldn't give much for the boy 'at grows up
When a fellow gits old - I tell you it's nice
Of the peach-trees abloom an' the daisies ablow;
When little legs wrassled an' little han's strove;
Of the friendships that hallow the season of youth!
LITTLE MISS BRAG
Little Miss Brag has much to say
And the rich little lady puts out a lip
And wishes that she could wear a gown
For little Miss Brag she lays much stress
"Aha,
Has beautiful dolls in vast array;
She hears our little Miss Brag extol.
From wet, or heat, or tumble, or dirt!
And one eye's black and the other's blue -
Oho!"
The rich little lady goes out to ride
Yet wishes that, sometimes, after dark
That, sometimes, her mother would sing.html">sing the things
When through the attic window streams
"Aha,
To the rich little lady from over the way;
Often the bitter sighs upstart -
In the grace of the tongue that loves to sing
So I've come to love that treble tone -
Oho!"
THE HUMMING TOP
The top it hummeth a sweet, sweet song
Merrily singeth all day long,
And my dear little.
