QAnon’s Unexpected Roots in New Age Spirituality
For The Washington Post Magazine, Marisa Meltzer reports on the growing “conspirituality” trend, which combines conspiracy theories and New Age religious practices. Some QAnon members even view their involvement with the group as a spiritual journey. Meltzer writes, “Alternative spirituality and conspiracy are, in the end, united by a narcissistic idea: that there are things in the world crying out for explanation and that you alone are unraveling the truth.”
