— The New Age movement holds many tenets in common with witchcraft, yet witches reject many of the practices and beliefs common to New Age practitioners. Wiccans might scoff at spirit channeling but embrace reincarnation or karma. Neo-pagan and New Age movements may have some similar ideas and practices, but the two are not the same. Neo-pagans draw exclusively on nature religion traditions; New Agers draw from all kinds of traditions.
