Astral Sex – Zen Teabags, an illustrated New Age spoofapedia comes out in Europe in March and in US in June, so here to celebrate are a few of my favourite bits.
It’s a tongue-in-cheek dictionary of all things new-agey – designed to amuse, whether you love it or whether you hate it. Comments welcome……
Affirmations
Things which people repeat ad nauseam about what they would like to have happen in their lives, instead of actually doing something about it.
Archetype
Nobody actually knows what this word means, but it is now so widely used that no-one can afford to admit that. Other terms which no-one will admit to not know the meaning of but use a lot to pretend they do: paradigm, process, gestalt.
Assertiveness
Pretentious term for being rude
Beaverweaver
Male who poses as a shaman purely in order to pull women.
