Where humorists believed that all illness was the result of an imbalance of the humors, Paracelsus believed this was only scratching the surface. He believed that humoric imbalances were themselves only symptoms of a deeper problem; conflict between the fundamental forces that made up the body. Paracelsus outlines three different types of disease: One: There are natural diseases, problems which result from physical damage or imbalance of the body. A broken leg, a poisoning, starvation, etc. These were easily treated by keeping the patient clean and safe while the bodies natural healing abilities did their work.  Two: There are astral diseases, problems which result from the influence of the greater macrocosm. Meaning, Paracelsus believed that when the planet Mars passes over your country, it bathes that physical location in Mars Energy, an abundance of which can cause some materials to produce clouds of poison and corruption. This was his theoretical explanation for mass illnesses.  Curiously enough, this was also his explanation for psychological illnesses. Consider how an interaction with an angry stranger can ruin one’s mood for the rest of the day. Paracelsus points out the physiological effects of strong emotions on the body, and quite logically ties this into his hermetic theory of disease. If reading a nasty letter can affect the body, surely the signs in the stars also affect the body. These were tricky to treat, requiring a good deal of astrological math to produce metal amulets stamped with the signs of the planets to counteract the mix of astral forces causing the illness.  Three: Divine diseases. There are some illnesses which resist all attempts at treatment. God has decided that you must shit your brains out. Perhaps this is a punishment for some sin, perhaps it is not. It is not for the doctor to question the divine will. The only thing to do is pray.

Last night I had a dream where I was filling up my water bottle at a drinking fountain and someone ran over and started to drink out of my water bottle as it was filling up and I got so mad I woke up

The real tabletop RPG party dynamic:

Fucker who makes you wonder exactly what's wrong with them

Fucker who you know exactly what's wrong with them

Fucker who seems pretty on the level, then halfway through the campaign you find out what's wrong with them

Fucker whose deal is actually kind of tame, but their inability to be normal about it is what's wrong with them

Fucker whose unshakable conviction that there's nothing wrong with them is what's wrong with them

Fucker who's just happy to be included, and that's what's wrong with them

I think you can define The Occult as a decentralized mythology that draws from a myriad of sources, including religion, philosophy, and science, with a particular focus on odd or rejected knowledge.
