Most of the time I spent studying the occult was spent with primary sources, I read extensively from Crowley and Levi and various (generally obviously fake once you got a few pages in) versions of "ancient" books like the Necronomicon. I started with secondary sources like Koch but they just weren't giving me the information I wanted. I was trying to find REAL occult stuff in things I was enjoying and certain people were condemning, couldn't find it in secondary sources, so I went to primary sources. And again I couldn't find it, found plenty of real occult stuff in those primary sources of course, but found nothing that actually related to the stuff that was being condemned. And there's a good reason for that: it simply isn't there. Wasn't there in D&D, wasn't there in fantasy metal (outside of the nutty few like Danzig that freely admit it, my hunt was for the "subtle influences" in the more mainstream stuff that the condemners are always proclaiming, of course the look for anything subtle in heavy metal is generally doomed from the start), isn't there in HP. They simply are not occult gateways of any kind.
