Summary: Answering a viewer’s question, Andy discusses what it means to ask whether someone believes in the occult. He says people often only want a yes or no on topics such as the devil or fortune telling, and explains his own interest in the magical and ritual material. He also describes how initiatory orders filter who joins and why much of the material is not public.
