The only “new age” beliefs listed in the article are astrology and spiritual energy in trees and mountains. I wish the article had went into more depth about what these beliefs are and maybe add some speculation as to why the number of people that hold these beliefs are growing beyond “ the don’t have orthodox religion”. There are a few things I’ve seen all other the place that you probably wouldn’t have seen even 10 or 15 years ago: buddas, crystals (for “healing”, those mandala rugs or hangings. I think many people have no idea where these things come from or what they mean. They may think nothing more of them than as decorations.
