Occultism is the combination of esoteric doctrines that presuppose the existence of the secret forces in man and in nature. As a distinct stream of thoughts, it arose in the nineteenth century, in the era of the so-called “Fin de siècle” and it was the result of the collapse of the theocratic system and the image change of the world and man. Today, the new type of spiritual sensitivity and openness to transcendence is noticed by the younger generation. The lack of spiritual direction in solving existential crises, fear of independence, temporariness, society pressure lead young people to refer to the occult powers that give them a sense of security. The “occult revival” can be observed nowadays. The analysis shows the need for further research in the aspect, that the mass culture and promoted by the media secret (divination, clairvoyance, horoscopes) knowledge causes the revival of old practices and occult rituals among young people.

Okultyzm – zespół doktryn ezoterycznych, które zakładają istnienie w człowieku i w przyrodzie sił tajemnych. Jako odrębny prąd myślowy powstał w XIX wieku w epoce tzw. „fin de siècle” i był wynikiem upadku systemu teokratycznego, a co za tym idzie zmiany wizerunku świata i człowieka. Współcześnie obserwujemy wśród młodego pokolenia kształtowanie się nowej wrażliwości duchowej i otwarcie na transcendencję. Brak kierownictwa duchowego w rozwiązywaniu egzystencjalnych kryzysów, lęk przed samodzielnością, tymczasowością, presja, skłania młodzież do odwoływania się do tajemnych mocy, które dają im poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Obserwujemy obecnie „okultystyczne odrodzenie”. Analiza wskazuje na konieczność dalszych badań w związku z tym, że propagowana medialnie, promowana w kulturze masowej wiedza tajemna (wróżbiarstwo, jasnowidzenie, horoskopy) powodują odrodzenie starych praktyk i rytuałów okultystycznych wśród młodzieży.

This article deals with a phenomenon that is often spoken about, reported in the media, but about which very little empirical evidence has emerged over the years. Only a handful of criminologists have addressed this phenomenon. This stems from the belief that supernatural phenomena cannot be researched using scientific methods. However, within the phenomenological paradigm, there is room for engaging informants who report their lived experiences. Scientific opinion, as far as social sciences are concerned, confines spirituality to Theology and Anthropology. The notion of the supernatural should otherwise be confined to private life. Against this background, the authors claim that it is rather a general tendency within the scientific community to either consider the spiritual world as a superstition and a phenomenon not to be engaged in. Spirituality should thus be relegated to private discourse. Therefore, the authors endeavour to shed the light on the topic by defining concepts, presenting typologies from the literature, as well as concerning crime and Satanism. The recruitment strategies, as well as the means of control over the followers, are presented, and then specific crimes, abuse, psychological disorders and spiritual possession are discussed. The goal of this paper is to stimulate researchers to tackle this secretive phenomenon and its criminological connections as the perpetration of crime have often been reported where there was the evidence of rituals. Spirituality is the part of life for billions of people in the world and is it worth to be investigated Perhaps it is rather a lack of interest or even fear that leads to the dearth of research in this area.
