For example, one of them was related to the occult. However, most occultist whether they be Wiccans or Ceremonial Magicians like Alister Crowley don't really believe they are delving into the supernatural so much as they understand the laws of the universe differently than other people and believe what they are doing is something natural to the universe and anyone can learn to do it if they study and practice.

That's a good point and example. It's interesting that what outsiders would think of as very supernatural or supramundane they see as mundane and natural, by the same token what is seen within Buddhism as mundane some are keen to ascribe as supramundane.
