So just what is "New Age" (rhymes with Sewage) stuff, anyways? It all seems to differ between one group and the next, even though these guys all preach the same treacly sweetness and light goop with all of the usual buzzwords: "auras," "enlightenment," "purification," and so on. Some of these guys claim to be religious, while other claim to be "scientists." They do have several things in common, however, from the glassy-eyed zoned-out smiles to the fact that they're all peddling recycled bullshit.
