Anonymous Soliloquy

Dedicated to Psychic Fayre organizers everywhere!

New Age or not New Age? That is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to join

With fluffy bunnies, crystals and the like

Or to take arms against that sea of fads

And by opposing end them?

To die, perchance to have a near-death experience

And write a book about it;

To sleep, perchance to dream and through regression

Find that fantastical past life in which

The ego can rejoice.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of Pagan Gods in whom

Both dark and light are met

And so make moves to be more whole?

The Witch, the Druid, the Magus are but mad enough to walk

The realms of night where light New-Agers

Fear to tread!

By an anonymous Wiccan Priestess, reprinted from 'Nature Religions Today', by Joanne Pearson (Edinburgh University Press)
