I agree. I always get a laugh when walking past it.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I bought Be Here Now out of that section with a gift card the other day.
I kind of felt like a dupe buying a book out of the same section as spellbooks and all the other crap.
Oh well~

Hey now. I've found some great books in that section. DMT Spirit Molecule, some McKenna books, Robert Anton Wilson, and if I'm lucky, some Alex Grey books I've seen there a few times.
But yes, overall it is embarassing. Luckily for me I live two blocks away from a metaphysical bookstore. Free ordering and shipping. Its great.

Do they have the complete works of Madame Blavatsky?
I took a look at her years back, way toooooooooo deep for me!
I got into some crowley and krishnamurdi and chogham trungpa and e.j.gold and da free john.....
Some good stuff in there! But they all veer off the deep end at some point ( with the exception of krishnamurdi, he was one right-on nerd, kind of boring in a way, sooooooo sensible!)

only books i may refer to from the "new age" section are be here now annnd... thats it.
tao te jing is more realistic than any spellbook/phliosophy/psychology manual youll ever take a look at.

In my freshman year in high school, the movie 'The Craft' came out, and all of a sudden there were a million 'covens' of little girl 'witches', all toting around their wicca books and shit.
