The occult is one of the single most seductive subjects to ever exist; and if people knew what it was really about, I don't think they'd take it so lightly. If it was called "psychology of the unconscious" instead of being, quite literally, Latin for "hidden" - it would be much more apparent why there's so much secrecy. But alas, people don't even know the definition of magic (so I can hardly be surprised!)
If you want to get to the bottom of it all, you'll need to learn the true purpose of dogma; regarding symbol systems. It all comes down to content vs context, because words are little more than tools that change meaning from one epoch to the next; and each invokes a different image in each individual. Imprinting is a well understood concept by this point in time. Even better understood is the power held in secrecy; but I guarantee, the truth has always been available to you.
I will not serve false gods. I will continue seeking to express my art in the purest fashion possible. Whatever the cost, I will seek the truth and present it as plainly as I may. The World of Maya is like a lover who has grown tedious and boring, and I will never understand those who find total fulfillment in a world of illusions. I s'pose if one doesn't know of the Tree or the Wheel; it's easy to become entranced by the Cube. Non serviam fallaciae.
Last lines are killer. The Occult by Colin Wilson was a like a gateway to pondering all that encompasses the occult. It is terrifying to think our political systems are saturated with some of these ideologies.

For me, I'd say the first solid source I came across was Bill Cooper (and his Mystery Babylon Series). If you want to dig on the history, and how it has related to politics for millenia - Bill is a great place to start. It's sort of amusing how it all began with the discovery of fire and eventually progressed to LARPing as literal gods.

Oh, I will have to check out that book. Thanks for the lead!

If you're interested, I'd love to hear what you think of the novel I'm working on currently. It's going to get much more heavily into the occult, and secret societies, than it already has in the later chapters. There's so much research that goes into a project like this (if you take it seriously!) that it's going to likely take another few years, minimum, to complete it.

I couldn't even tell you how many books/sources/experiences/etc I've gone through just to be at my current understanding...I lost count awhile ago haha.
Aesthete, philosopher and scholar first; and a writer, poet and musician second. A rather blunt individual with no regard for dogma or taboo. A curious soul seeking the truth beyond this mortal coil. more..
