How you treats this video is how life treats you!’
(“Tiktok1”) While the youth is scrolling the videos on
TikTok,a video comes across and reads the text
'don't scroll, don't take the bad energy' (“Tiktok2”)
or some tarot readers tweeting that ‘Gemini will
break up with their lover this week, justice bells
will ring!’ I have shared with you a few tactics
above, beyond the real existence story of the
New Age, to attract people to this side without
realizing it, or to achieve the exploitation of
emotions from a real point of view. Some
of the content that people come
across in most of the social media
platforms they enter to spend their
time, depending on the algorithm, is
now only about tarot readings,
horoscope reviews, energy clearing,
crystals, law of attraction and frequencies.
There are content on social media, especially on TikTok, that say it will
change something for you. All of this basically depends on religion and
New Age because it's essentially a new religion in the New Age.
So what is this New Age?
The New Age is basically a belief, a way of life, spread by groups who
are passionate about occultism and metaphysics, and who think that
they are workers of love and light, especially in the 1970s and 80s.
(Melton, Gordon) It has no absolute rules or scriptures, but is also free
from clergy, religious hierarchies and religious institutions. They have
also been influenced by other major religions and philosophical
approaches around the world; Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, Islam,
Taoism, Esotericism, Hermeticism, Idealism, Neopaganism and
Spiritualism. (“New Age” Vikipedi) These are the ones we are familiar
with, and many sources and religions that have not yet found their
place among the people have been used.
They have many contents that they use in themselves -not worship- and
which they call ritual. In fact, the situation became such that they
began to share their rituals and works on social media. One of the
biggest reasons why this 'teachings' is spread and followed is that the
situation is now commercialized.
