There's nothing to it, and I mean that quite theologically and literally. The occult isn't all demons and stuff though, many practitioners only believe that they are psychologically effective, thus they are bare materialists.
Occult only means hidden, thus obfuscation is the name of the game, it's not some kind of religion or even Satanic counter-religion. Religion is far too subtle a tool of persuasion for the Prince of the World, so the allure of the occult is power over the minds and bodies of others and its reward is pride and euphoria at having pulled it off like an un-catchable thief.
Funnily enough, I was by the time I got into this, too far down an exclusively spiritual path to do more than study it, and once I had understood it my interest in it ceased, because I had nothing which I was covetous of that I needed magic to acquire it.
But I think at the time this didn't precisely mean I was saved, but more that I was too slothful and disinterested to push it further.
