No offense Alarum! LOL! The 70's IS Newage! When do you think it started?
My comment about the Matrix is where I first saw the expession coined. It may have been borrowed for the movie! Newage homogenizes! All gods are one god, etc. ad nauseum. Chaos Magic leapt to prominence when Chaos Theory was intrtoduced into the scientific community. Chaos Magic has adroitly homogenized various aspects of Ceremonial Magic, psionics, meditational techniques, Sigil Magic, fantasy literature, etc. and 'formed' a loose association between the various belief structures and yakked up an outline of magical techniques. Let's open a thread in Chaos Magic that gets into the heavy philosophical discussion of Chaos and our Ability to Perceive?? Any takers? (IMG:
