I wouldn't view the occult as lesser than "real" science or research. Just because something is not well understood doesn't mean it's false. Science is great, and I love science, but it paradoxically has a way of limiting our understanding. Things that the scientific method cannot be successfully applied to are immediately written off. The rejection of anything not deemed scientific is a dogmatizing and close-minded approach to understanding the universe.

That's all fine and dandy, but there's not much place for the occult in any rational way left. Attempts at proving supernatural phenomena have not brought any convincing evidence. There comes a point where you have to wonder if it's more likely that there's something out there which we can't measure or observe, but which we can "feel" in some way, or that it's superstition. Or in more practical terms: I wouldn't bet on a spell or the advice of long dead ancestors.
