That's what I mean.
'The new age' is a corporate identity that can assimilate anything, paint it pink, stuff it full of unicorns and hang a crystal off it.
They managed to write Gardner out of the religion he created, remove anything of interest and significance and package it to the masses along with a thousand and one marketing opportunities.
They could easy do the same to Thelema. They would either write Crowley out of it or rewrite him as a post ironic feminist icon.
And then they would rewrite the book of the law in easy to understand language, fill it with easily digestible platitudes that sound deep but are essentially either obvious or meaningless (and often both) and sell it to anyone that has enough money to buy.
Mammon is the only god of the new age that I ever see worshipped with any regularity, and everything can be sacrificed to him.
