WTF is New Age? What does it actually mean in practice?
Is it the occult? Is it western "buddhism"? Hippies dancing in a circle?
And why is it used in a derogatory way?
They thought that history is divided into "Ages" and that the old age is ending and a New Age of spiritual revelations is beginning.
It's probably derogatory because by and large "New Age" types believe in silly things and buy silly products.

Its the fast food of spiritualism.
A bunch of principals from different cultures in a degenerated form and mixed with some mysterious not so healthy ingredients. Prepackaged to serve a mass American audience.
Also, why is that l all the art related to this stuff is so damn nauseating?
>What does it actually mean in practice?
That's the thing: It has no defined praxis.
The McDonalds of spirituality.
