Carl Abrahamsson | Occulture, The Primordial Awe, & The Economy Of Magic
Historical Suppression of Radical Ideas and Monotheistic Power
Carl Abrahamson explains that the "occult" literally means hidden, referring to ideas and behaviors that historically challenged the ruling hegemony. He argues that monotheistic power structures have suppressed magical techniques and radical philosophies to maintain control, whereas polytheistic cultures were traditionally more tolerant. This suppression forced experimental scientists, artists, and philosophers to keep their concepts underneath the surface to avoid persecution.
