This sounds sorta frightening, with all the "lethal koolaid" and group suicide, but that's more of a genuine cult than the actual Occult.
The Occult is more of a blueprint to religion. Not even really religion, because it doesn't replace the belief system (in all cases) it just gives the believer a larger toolbox for contacting their respected God, whoever that may be.
The Occult believes that with the use of ceremonial magick, ritual magick, candles, various tools and weapons, intense prayer/ meditation, and psychic abilities (in depth meditation, "feeling the mood", intuition, knowing you're right) to either contact the chosen deity, or evoke their presence into your life for manifestation.
This sounds like nonsense, but let me explain.
When you pray to Jesus, or Allah, or any other god, you put forth an energy of desire. You obviously want something to happen, and you expect a result, otherwise you wouldn't be praying, right? So, you take that energy, that feeling in your heart and in your head that something in your life is deeply wrong, and needs spiritual help, and you focus it. You make your problem into a single picture, something you can focus on. And then you do the exact same with the solution. Narrow down exactly what it is you want to happen. Some undeniable proof that what you have tried to accomplish has been accomplished.
You take that energy, and you focus it into the picture of the solution, after meditating on the actual problem at hand for some time. Now, you simply find a spell or ritual that you are capable of performing, and focus that energy in your solution into the ritual or spell. Make that ritual or spell your new prayer, as you give your problem and desired solution over to the deity you want to evoke.
Visualization is key. The single trick to magick and witchcraft is to employ tools and items to empower your spell or ritual. These are not literal items of power, like a glowing magic wand, or a pointed hat with stars all over it, or a broomstick to fly on. These items are a wand you've carved from a certain type of wood and meditated on; a candle you've carved a name into, and anointed with oil; or a poppet with someones hair in it, or their ring. These items are items that your brain can understand and comprehend as relevant to your ritual.
When you pray to Jesus, is the prayer not stronger when kneeling in a church before a giant cross? When you curse someone, is it not more powerful with a "Voodoo Doll" of the target, with a giant nail through the heart, and brain?
Symbolism. Witchcraft is a poetry of religion. It's a central hub for people of all traditions, followings, covens, paths, and worships to harness the power of the earth to strengthen their connections with the God they wish to commune with.
