List of Occultists

List Of Occultists

List of notable occultists and mystics.

This is a list of notable people, whether contemporary, historical or legendary, who are or were involved in any of the following practices and traditions:

• occult science
• paranormal magic, "black" or "white"
• witchcraft
• sorcery
• wizardry
• astrology
• alchemy
• practical mysticism
• West African Vodun, Haitian Vodou, or Louisiana Voodoo
• divination and fortune-telling
• theurgy

Since this subject has attracted hoaxes, folklore, and tall tales, the inclusion of historical persons is limited based on considerations of accepted historical fact - a restriction which obviously does not apply to legendary or mythological figures.
