I have never heard the term "Occult Imperialism" before (I'm not an historian, but I've read and studied Shakespeare's Tempest and don't recall hearing that term.) One of the essays theorizes that the lost colonists of Roanoke weren't "lost" at all; that they left a message carved in a tree "Gone to Croatoan," where they became part of a mixed-race population that still remains in the Dismal Swamp area. Interesting .
