work in an occult store, know the "The Secret Type" theyre soccer moms drooling over crystals.
They want to know what crystal can make them feel better about being 48 and past their prime. Mention the actual occult to them and they go glassy eyed and confused.

"The Secret" is just the law of attraction dressed up with very nice graphic design and some well worded paragraphs, real occultists and magicians have understood this concept for thousands of years.

In Our Time - History of Alchemy

https://youtu.be/UgwyVqEGj1k

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of Alchemy, the ancient science of transformations. The most famous alchemical text is the Emerald Tablet, written around 500BC and attributed to the mythical Egyptian figure of Hermes Trismegistus. Among its twelve lines are the essential words - “as above, so below".

With Peter Forshaw, Lecturer
