Occulture
Blend of "occult" and "culture," coined by Professor Christopher Partridge.
Hidden culture. A sub culture within Western modern culture. The appropriation by a subculture of occult themes (New Age, etc.) in opposition to the dominant culture. A culture influenced by modern and post-modern literature and art, originating from the occult sciences - as understood by pre-Christian and subsequent unorthodox interpretations of the gospels, esoteric writings and Eastern sources.
An area of music, writing, visual art and para-religious practices stemming from the the occult. Heavily influenced by occultists such as Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner, Dion Fortune, Anton LaVey, Robert Anton Wilson, Austin Osman Spare and Brion Gysin.
