A practice tied to the wider New Age movement#
The fair's mix of crystal work, energy healing and divination fits within what Wikipedia describes as the New Age movement, encompassing diverse spiritual and religious approaches that expanded rapidly throughout Western society in the early 1970s. Wikipedia notes that adherents typically see the practices as integrating the physical, mental and spiritual dimensions of human existence rather than as a single organized religion.ruralradio.com+1 2 sources for this line, starting with Rural Radio Network
Some of the fair's offerings, including Akashic record work and past-life readings, draw on ideas about the fundamental nature of reality that Wikipedia traces to metaphysics, a branch of philosophy that Aristotle treated as a first philosophy more basic than other inquiry.ruralradio.com+1 2 sources for this line, starting with Rural Radio Network
