We sort of stumble with this terminology in one of the organizations I'm involved with as well. Is it esoteric, occult, magick? I guess that the best we've been able to come up with is that people just use the term that they are most comfortable with or fits their beliefs best. We do though utilize the word esoteric in almost everything that is public facing.
Lots of uninformed equate the word occult with evil, and magick is easily confused with stage magic if someone doesn't understand what is being referenced. Esoteric just seems easier for things that are communicated externally.

This is wonderful! A world that I do not want to leave.
