There's a lot of New Age-type shops around where I've lived. They tend to stock Tarot cards, incense, candles, Tibetan singing bowls, bling, crystals, amulets and books about Wicca, Buddhism, Yoga, Meditation and other esoteric beliefs.
They always smell good. I burn quite a bit of incense, especially in winter and will browse the shops every couple-few months.
There's no such thing anywhere near where I live, more's the pity. I'm not a fan of incense ... it's so heavy. At least the ones I've ever experienced. Is there a particular scent you like, Trout?
I would say that there are people who recognize that their particular faith or faith tradition is among those grouped under the banner of "New Age," and who do not deny the possibility of value in other "paths."
Well, that's the thing ... "New Age" doesn't seem to be a particular path. I came across an article by a Christian who says some people say he's too "New Age" for them. It was interesting, and maybe it'll give you some insights MissHepburn, into what people who refer to New Age on this forum are meaning by it:
What is it...or what do you think it is.
Seems to be often mocked and a threat..why?
Also, it seems people looking 'at' something through a window label it New Age, not
the person speaking or writing...why?
And then dismiss what is said.
Seems what is said, that is called New Age talk, is ancient talk...and often not something Jesus would
have any argument about....but would put the person at the head of the class! ha!
people attack apologetics and new age. You know, because they change the belief based on observation.
Deeply held belief statements about god types can't have that. Either literally for or literally against, they are afraid to be wrong.
I just skimmed it admittedly, but I'd say he's got a pretty good grasp on it. Basically, any form of witchcraft, necromancy, fortune telling or idolatry, sums up the New Age category pretty well. It's all an abomination to Him. Peace

Would it be fair to say New Agey is considered by Christians to be wrong,
bad, un-christian, then ? Oh and an abomination?
It would be fair to say that about mainstream and especially fundamentalist Christians. They generally use it as a pejorative to avoid confronting the idea they can't use in their control games. The article posted by Pleroo should give you and idea of what thinking Christians consider.

I would venture to guess that many Christians would NOT consider "New Agey" to be any of those things. But those Christians would be considered "New Agey" by other Christians who DO think it's wrong, bad, un-Christian and an abomination.
