A quotation from Shakespeare

GLENDOWER: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
HOTSPUR: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
   But will they come when you do call for them?

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) English dramatist and poet
Henry IV, Part 1, Act 3, sc. 1, l. 55ff (3.1.55-57) (1597)

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

   “I don’t hold with paddlin’ with the occult,” said Granny firmly. “Once you start paddlin’ with the occult you start believing in spirits, and when you start believing in spirits you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are you’re believing in gods. And then you’re in trouble.”
   “But all them things exist,” said Nanny Ogg.
   “That’s no call to go around believing in them. It only encourages ’em.”

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 14, Lords and Ladies (1992)

Was on a Wikipedia binge when I came across this.
I don't get what's the difference between "the #occult" and "mainstream religions" such as #Christianity. Isn't Jesus dying on the cross basically a human sacrifice?
It's all #magic at the end of the day. And magic isn't real.
