Yes, I've read The Secret Life Of Bees, The Mermaid Chair, and I started The Dance of the Dissident Daughter and got sidetracked so I haven't finished it yet. I gave my mom my copy of The Secret Life of Bees and it will be interesting to hear her impression of it. Sue Monk Kidd is one of my favorite authors, for her writing style.
Yeah, I don't know why, but I've met a lot of Pagans/Goddess Spirituality/Wicca folks who diss New Age. I think the next time it happens I'm going to ask why and listen carefully. The only somewhat-related group I can think of who may not share any common origin are hereditary folk-witch types. Still, it seems to me that they also share some of the same philosophies, even if they don't agree there is any connection between the belief systems. I'm going to read Khrysso's article again - I read it once a few years ago but I forgot what it said.
My interest in New Age started at the same time that I discovered a fascination with Celtic Paleo Paganism. But I think that's only because at the time Wicca and Occultism was not as out in the open as New Age.
