In this article, Rosita Šorytė explores the connection between the new anti-cult New Age movements and the conventional anti-cult movements that mostly orbit in the FECRIS galaxy, as demonstrated by Luigi Corvaglia's explicit appreciation of Wahid Azal's remarks, in perfect line with the motto “the enemies of my enemies are my friends”.

In this article, Rosita Šorytė denounces the activities of one of the leaders of the New Age Anti-Cultism, Wahid Azal, whose “sources” derive from hallucinogenic plants. Wahid Azal has incorporated ayahuasca and Haoma – a MAO inhibitor from Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) and Australian acacia bark containing DMT – into his religious practice, which allows him to communicate with mythical figures from centuries past.

In this series of articles, Rosita Šorytė explores the emergence of a new type of anti-cult activism, which she refers to as “New Age anti-cultism.” Unlike traditional anti-cult movements that oppose “cults” in the name of secular humanism or mainstream religion, this movement criticizes “cultic” beliefs rooted in a confusing mix of astrology, energy theories, and popular esotericism.
