I've always been interested in the esoteric. What's the difference between esoteric and occult?

The main difference is that esoteric refers to knowledge or understanding that is hidden, secret, or not widely known, while occult means something that is mysterious or difficult to understand. So an esoteric book would be one that is written in a language that is difficult for most people to understand, while an occult book might be about magic or witchcraft.
