I'm big into the occult, too. Like reading Aleister Crowley and John Dee for fun kinda into it. I don't believe in any of it at all, but to me it reads like an RPG setting book without any crunch, and I like that a lot. I read stuff like the Corpus Hermeticum, and whatever biblical apocrypha I can find, too. In fact, my big gripe with much of modern supernatural fiction is that it ignores so much of this material that is out there and so cool, but instead makes up its own stuff that just ends up sounding contrived compared to the "real" thing. Like, if you're going to make a thing about angels and demons, there's a wealth of existing information about them in legitimate resources used by respected theologians that might actually add some gravitas to your story because let's face it even if you don't believe in it the Abrahamic religions have an interesting mythology to them. But no, go ahead and name your angels after norse gods and Herman Mellville protagonists, and make up choirs of angels based on greek mythology. Wow, that kind of became a rant, didn't it?

I'm also a big Lovecraft fan and play Delta Green, Call of Cthulhu, and Cthulhutech quite a bit.
