“#’Magick’ man sparks enlightenment for Millennials and Gen Z<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n When Alex Kazemi sends out emails, his signature includes this note: \u201cALEX KAZEMI HAS NO SOCIAL MEDIA<\/a> ACCOUNTS,\u201d it declares, \u201cAND NEVER WILL.\u201d It\u2019s a bold stance for anyone in this age of nonstop personal branding and 24\/7 connectivity, but given the age of the pop artist and creative director \u2014 26 \u2014 it seems like a fabulous rebellion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to avoid it came from studying and watching my peers and watching the anxiety build in their lives around likes and instant gratification. The scroll is infinite,\u201d says Kazemi. \u201cAnd I saw that as being the opposite of what it takes to be a professional writer, or professional of any sort. I saw friends becoming so focused on building their brand and not focusing on building their craft. I want to dedicate my energy to honing it. I bet we\u2019ll soon see a 12 step for Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sentiment more people are sharing recently, especially as documentaries like \u201cThe Social Dilemma\u201d have helped expose just how addictive and insidious social media can be \u2014 and that it was built that way on purpose.<\/p>\n

Energy and focus are two things that fascinate Kazemi, as they\u2019re at the heart of his book, \u201cPop Magick: A Simple Guide to Bending Your Reality<\/a>,\u201d with a foreword by Rose McGowan.<\/p>\n

He explains magick \u2014 not to be confused with magic \u2014 as \u201cthe art in bending reality in accordance with your true will. Seeing reality as an opportunity to bend or change it \u2026 Directing your energy and focus towards a goal.\u201d (It\u2019s kind of like \u201cThe Secret,\u201d except without the judgmental aspect that many criticized it for.)<\/p>\n

Secular spirituality has been growing in popularity in recent years, along with an interest in astrology, witchcraft, the occult, and assorted other New Age interests; according to the Pew Research Center, 6 in 10 Americans share at least one \u201cNew Age\u201d belief. The \u201cpsychic services\u201d industry exceeded $2 billion in revenue in 2018, topping five years of consistent growth, according to market research conducted by IBISWorld. These things are especially popular with millennials and Gen Z.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a collective, we feel quite powerless right now. Growing up, we were sold so many illusions about what the world was. All these reality shows, and then the social-media era, which told us to be products,\u201d says Kazemi. \u201cThere was no sense of spiritual energy. There was a real spiritual poverty. Magick offers a non-dogmatic spiritual sense, without there being rules imposed on people, and I think that\u2019s why they like it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
