Accidental mages?

I'm trying to post once a week to this journal, and since I've been busy the past week and don't have much, I'll just post a brief thought for now. I'm re-reading John Michael Greer's excellent book, "The King in Orange." What I find myself wondering is, how many of the elites in the Western world are involved in the occult? Much of their power seems rooted in magic that they have used to keep the masses in line. But do they realize they're using magic? Or are they accidentally practicing magic? If that's the case, how many of us, the average Joes and Janes out there, accidentally practice magic?

It does not employ, for example, the more esoteric correspondences of ritual high magic (for Catholics, something like the Mass, or Communion, for example, in which myths have been ingested over years in the audience, and then are "activated" through gestures and symbols).
