Except to say that the author doesn't know very much about his subject, and seems to be only too willing to throw onto the fire whatever he thinks will burn.<br /><br />I do have some friends who probably qualify for the label, "new age," (crystals and other light-and-fluffy stuff) but not one of them is anti-Catholic or anti-any-other-religion. None of them believes in Lucifer. They all know that Madame Blavatsky was a fraud and a charlatan, but fools and their money are soon parted, so however she made her living was completely the choice of her most willing victims. And I have absolutely no idea where he got the idea that walking labyrinths have some deep, dark meaning. I've never heard of it, myself, but like I said, I'm not New Age, so I guess it's possible.
