The Ultimate Flake-Out?

It is broadly termed 'Eastern Spirituality'. This covers all schools of Buddhism and Hinduism, as well as yoga, Ayurveda and generally anything involving incense. Westerners are allowed to pick and choose whichever aspects of these appeal to them. Generally chanting and prayer beads go down well, but rules of abstinence and anachronistic rules can be ignored.

As my spiritual path is most recently described as 'Extreme Hedge-Witch Shaman of the Universal Pantheon', then I think I am already as religiously flaky and/or schizophrenic as you can get. I have already combined
  1. Paganism (a religious version of Pick'n'Mix)
  2. Pantheism (all you can eat)
  3. Shamanism (tonight we dine in the spirit world)
  4. LaVeyan Satanism (we are all gods)
  5. Hinduism (my heritage, of sorts, and also with Pick'n'Mix tendencies)
  6. My own personal musings and an unhealthy dose of magical thinking.
  7. Imaginary Buddhism
  8. Voodoo. The cool version of Catholics.
So yes, maybe religion is the way forward. Fetch out the Nag Champa, prayer beads, oil lamps, chalices, candles, athames, statues, pentagrams, mantras, idols, and free sex (that last one is for the Satanism).
