Occult simply means "what is not visible" or "hidden". Occult is not magick itself, but magick is part of occult. For over 3,000 years or more (since the Jewish religion came into existence), the true ancient knowledge and spirituality in the world started going into the background. With mainstream Judaism, Christianity and Islam taking over the world, the true knowledge went hidden. This was mostly because it was destroyed and people who practiced them were persecuted in the name of these three religions. Hence, people started following the knowledge and practicing rituals in hidden ways due to fear of being persecuted. That is where the concept of occult came from.
Magick and spiritualism is not necessarily for highly advanced Satanists. It is for every person for making one's life better.
