About the Author

Mr. Sanjeev Gadhok earned his technical qualification in Delhi and in the wake of forays in a specialized field for quite a while, he decided to study astrology. We all have some inquiry in life for which we look for an answer. This was the reason that caused him to head into the universe of astrology, which has now turned into a piece of his presence. Presently he not just interprets horoscope of the native but furthers education in Astrology. His strategy to approach and interpret horoscope is an amalgamation of Vedic astrology, Nadi astrology, KP Astrology, Theory of Cuspal Interlinks, Tarot reading and Vastu: consequently providing for him favourable element and profound knowledge to foresee the whole course for any single person.

I had been attracted to astrology and occult sciences since my childhood. Later years made me take up astrology as a profession.

I made expectations about impending occasions and guided individuals into taking fitting choices at basic focuses in life based upon the patterns that planetary arrangements anticipated.

The greatest test that I confronted was the level of exactness of forecasts. The main jump in this methodology has dependably been getting the careful time of conception. Circumstances overarching at time of conception in healing facilities or home, the pressure and necessity of undertaking around then, unavailable rooms, various distinctive sorts of individuals in different states Of work and brain, make it well-near difficult to note and record the careful time of conception.

My quest to overcome this challenge took me to study further and further and delves into various branches and offshoots of astrology viz. Vedic astrology, Nadi astrology, K P astrology and theory of Cuspal Interlink and the most important horary astrology.

Despite all my single-minded pursuit and devotion, however, I remained very restless about how to help people –my countrymen and others-- in making correct decisions at critical junctures in life, so that they can live faithfully and peacefully.

My mind wanted in particular to reach out to young people, who are going to mould the future of this country, to help them to overcoming anxieties and making correct career-choices.

I confided these thoughts to some of my close acquaintances and they advised me to write a book for the guidance of the young. It caught my fancy and this, coupled with a directive from Sai Baba, resulted in this book which, I fancy, will be in the hands of my young friends and help them in life.

Introduction

We are a widespread substance and are hence a piece of the universe. The state of universe at our minute of conception on Earth has a settled and unmistakable position of eminent bodies, including planets, that gets fixed as a record which decides the example of entire of our life.

All heavenly bodies are in motion and keep changing their positions. The changed configuration of the universe at various points of time influences our life in various ways. Although movement of all heavenly bodies causes this influence, maximum impact is that of the Sun and its planets and satellites and phenomena associated with the Solar System since we are concerned with life on Earth and the Earth is a part of the Solar System. As the changes are constantly taking place, our life is constantly influenced by these.

If we can somehow read the future events beforehand, we can handle situations better and can take correct decisions.

With the movement of planets there is a movement in human destiny.

Our destiny is pre written according to our past karmas and is played out in the present life. These planets play a major role in bringing about these major scenes of our life to picture.

Thus, planets not only have astronomical, but astrological value as well.

More so, in the Hindu classical mythology, they are worshiped as deities.

That is where Astrology helps us.

What Is Astrology Then?

Astrology is nothing but the study of these influences with respect to planets positions. In other words it is the study of the power of cosmos on the life on earth.

Vedic astrology is India’s gift to the world. It has its roots firmly entrenched in our culture and religion. Hindu mythology and religion are inseparable from Indian astrology.

Hinduism believes in the karmic theory “As you sow, so shall you reap.”

According to this theory, our destiny is created by the almighty. Astrology acts as a tool to read it. Just like a movie, our life has a story-line complete with emotions, actions and a befitting climax of death.

But life’s journey is incomplete without learning. We learn throughout our lives but here we will talk about formative learning or education, which moulds us and builds us and decides what we do in our lives to earn a livelihood.

Before we start reading about what astrology is and how it affects our career and life, we must serve ourselves with an introduction to the professional world. Now, as kids, we have always been told that our career is the most important factor and we must choose it carefully. So for all those who are still beginning to figure out what their careers could be, let us have close look at what all you can think of as a career-option.

Since it is something that you may have to follow throughout your life, it has to be chosen very carefully. Your skills and talent are of course important but what most of the people tend to forget is your interest. Interest is a very important factor because if your career is out of your interest-zone, however talented you might be or whatever level you reach with practice, you will never be satisfied. So, always try to keep your interest areas into focus while choosing your career.

Course content

The MA Magic and Occult Science is a unique programme that allows you to tailor a programme to your own interests by choosing a range of modules within humanities and social sciences, or by specialising in a certain area.

The core module, ARAM251 Esotericism and the Magical Tradition is a team-taught module where students explore key topics including magic in Greece and Rome, occult texts in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the history of witchcraft, magic in literature and folklore, deception and illusion, and the history of science and medicine, among other key themes.

By housing this program within the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, we place the Arabo-Islamic cultural heritage back where it belongs in the centre of these studies and in the history of the “West.” Decolonisation, the exploration of alternative epistemologies, feminism, and anti-racism are at the core of this programme.

Occult Studies for the Skeptic

Why should you care about the occult, magic, or mysticism if you aren’t religious or don’t believe in the supernatural?

I have several possible answers:

1) Even if you don’t believe in this sort of thing there are people in the past and present who genuinely do.

While most of us live in places that don’t condemn suspected witches to death, belief in the supernatural has and still has major consequences. The height of the European witch hunts resulted in the deaths of tens of thousand of people, mostly women, accused of witchcraft and related activities (see The Witchcraft Sourcebook edited by Brian P. Levack, full citation below).

While this is the most dramatic example, occult science has lead directly to the modern fields of astronomy and chemistry via astrology and alchemy. Occult philosophy likewise was influenced by and influenced more mainstream theology and general philosophy. Literature likewise benefits from the occult, resulting in everything from pulpy entertainment to genius works of fiction and poetry.

Whether you believe or not, there is no denying the effects occultism has had on history and culture.

2) Learning about what other people believe in helps you understand their perspective. This fosters respect and personal growth.

As long as another person isn’t pushing their belief on you or infringing on your (or others’) right to live peacefully, it is reasonable to accept that their belief brings them comfort and happiness. For example, if you don’t like yoga there’s no reason that other people can’t practice and enjoy it. Many times ritual practices of any type, spiritual or otherwise, have proven psychological and physical benefits:

3) It’s interesting.

Most people don’t believe in witches and wizards but they still enjoy reading Harry Potter books. The popularity of the series can attest to that much. I personally don’t practice anything occult or mystic myself but I am building an academic career on my interest in it regardless. I grew up reading fantasy novels so studying the occult is like exploring the closest thing to real life fantasy for me. I love the philosophical systems, art, and literature related to the occult. Maybe you’re an author and want to explore new subjects for plots and characters. Maybe you keep seeing tarot cards and crystals everywhere and don’t understand the appeal. General curiosity and interest is likely what brought you here in the first place. On that note:

As the western world becomes disenfranchised with mainstream religions, it looks to alternatives to satiate its spiritual needs. (I say the western world because it’s the only one I personally have a perspective on and feel any authority to speak on). It happened in the 1960s with “new religious movements” like the Hare Krishnas, in the mid-1800s with the spiritualist movements, and as far back as the 14th century with the development of early Kabbalah. There are a multitude other other examples throughout history but the point is that interest in “alternative” beliefs seems to come in waves and in response to things like major disasters or upheavals. Such movements also seem to arise after major periods of skepticism and rationality. Spiritualism rose to prominence shortly after the Enlightenment era which was characterized by its advances in the sciences and rational thought. Today’s popularity of eastern based philosophy, mystical experience, and occultism is likewise in response to a world that is increasingly critical of traditional religions and their dogma.

People who don’t fit into mainstream society, whether it be because of their personality, gender, sexuality, personal philosophy, etc., likewise are at odds with traditional churches and religious organizations. Women have found empowerment in Wicca and Witchcraft, practices that celebrate women and femininity instead of restricting or belittling it. Members of the LGBTQ+ community are attracted to spiritual practices that don’t question or that even embrace their identities in ways that most religions actively condemn. It’s no wonder that in a world that is becoming increasingly accepting of and promoting the individual that people are finding more individualized belief systems.

Spirituality is a nearly universal human need or desire. People want answers to basic questions that rational thought simply can’t divulge. Why are we here? What is my purpose? What happens when I die? Why does the world exist the way it does? Is there a design or purpose? Feeling like an insignificant dot on a ball of rock hurtling through space to an inevitable meaningless destruction causes quite a lot of existential despair in almost anyone who stops to ponder their place in the universe. People combat this feeling in different ways, most without really forming a conscious plan or philosophy. Most just want to feel like they’re connected to something greater than themselves and that it somehow gives them purpose. Religion, spirituality, denial, avoidance, ignorance, or acceptance are the more popular answers to such existential dread. And just because you pretend to know the answer (and you are pretending because none of us really know) doesn’t mean you know or understand someone else’s answer. Which brings me back to point number 2.

2 – Redux) I say this again because it bears repeating: learning about and understanding other viewpoints and perspectives directly correlates to greater empathy, compassion, and tolerance. Ignorance is the enemy.

If you take nothing else away from your foray into occult studies please let it be this. The ultimate goal of the occult is to acquire knowledge that was previously hidden from understanding. It does not necessarily have to be spiritual or supernatural knowledge; any wisdom or information is fair game. That is why the occult advanced science in the aforementioned areas of astronomy and chemistry, its practitioners sought knowledge without bounds and wherever their minds took them. Perhaps many were fettered by dogmas and prejudices of different kinds but like the alchemical process purifies base lead into shining gold, so too should the self strive to purify the mind into a more enlightened form.

Hopefully one or all of these answers have encouraged you to explore the occult further or at least allowed you to understand why others have an interest in it.

These individuals practice various forms of magic and spellwork to manipulate energy and manifest desired outcomes. They may use rituals, spells, and potions to bring about positive change or protection. Witches and magicians often follow specific spiritual traditions or belief systems, such as Wicca or ceremonial magic. Astrology and numerology are also popular occult careers. Astrologers study the positions and movements of celestial bodies to interpret and predict events and influences in people's lives. Numerologists, on the other hand, analyze numbers and their vibrations to gain insight into a person's personality, destiny, and life path. Both astrology and numerology are ancient belief systems that have been practiced for centuries. Some individuals choose to pursue a career in exorcism or spiritual cleansing. These occult practitioners specialize in removing negative energy, entities, or spirits from people or places. They may perform rituals, prayers, or other forms of spiritual work to restore balance and bring about healing and protection. Occultism has also found its way into the realm of entertainment and media. Many occult practitioners work as authors, filmmakers, or artists, using their knowledge and experiences to create fictional stories. They may write books on occult topics, create movies or television shows with occult themes, or design artwork inspired by mystical themes. In conclusion, occult careers span a wide range of professions and practices that delve into the supernatural and metaphysical. Whether it be psychic readings, witchcraft, astrology, or exorcism, these careers offer individuals the opportunity to explore and tap into the mysteries of the unseen world. While some may embrace these professions as a personal belief system, others may approach them from an entertainment or artistic standpoint. Regardless of their approach, occult practitioners are often driven by a desire to unlock the secrets of existence and potentially help others along their spiritual journey..

Reviews for "Stepping into the Shadows: Exploring Occult Career Paths"

1. John - 1 out of 5 stars:

I was really disappointed with "Occult careers". The book promised to provide valuable insights into various occult professions, but it failed to deliver. The information presented was shallow and lacking in depth. It felt like the author did the bare minimum research and provided only basic information that can be found on a quick internet search. I was hoping for more in-depth analysis and practical advice on pursuing a career in the occult, but this book fell short.

2. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars:

I found "Occult careers" to be a confusing and disorganized read. The book jumped from one topic to another without any clear structure or flow. It was difficult to follow and connect the ideas presented. Additionally, the writing style was dry and lacked creativity, making it even more challenging to engage with the content. Overall, I was disappointed with the book and would not recommend it to anyone seeking comprehensive information on occult careers.

3. Robert - 2 out of 5 stars:

"Occult careers" was a letdown for me. I was expecting a well-researched and thought-provoking exploration of the occult job market, but instead, I found the book to be filled with outdated and irrelevant information. The author seemed out of touch with the current state of occult practices and failed to provide any practical advice or guidance for those interested in pursuing such a career. It felt like a wasted opportunity, and I would not recommend this book to anyone seeking genuine insights into the occult job market.

4. Emily - 3 out of 5 stars:

I had mixed feelings about "Occult careers". While it did provide some interesting insights into lesser-known occult professions, I found the book to lack depth and real-world examples.

As someone interested in the practical aspects of occult professions, I found this book to be somewhat disappointing.

5. Michael - 2 out of 5 stars:

"Occult careers" failed to meet my expectations. The author seemed more interested in promoting their personal beliefs and theories rather than providing a comprehensive guide to occult careers. The book lacked objectivity and sometimes ventured into the realm of pseudoscience and conspiracy theories. I would have appreciated a more professional and balanced approach to the subject matter. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and would not recommend this book to anyone seeking reliable information on occult careers.
