Since meeting that woman, I have come across<br />

several other women who have shared a similar<br />

experience and it has left me highly sceptical of<br />

the 'New Age' scene.<br />

Theo, and he is by far not the only one, surrounds<br />

himself with groups of women who all seem to<br />

believe he is some kind of 'Higher Vibrational<br />

Being'. Many have also worked in his shop or<br />

attended festivals with him whilst he has plied<br />

them with free crystals and drugs.<br />

Being surrounded by all these women also gives<br />

a false impression that he is trustworthy and safe<br />

whereas I now realise he is a sexual predator who<br />

preys on women looking for answers to a better<br />

life, finding a soulmate or to ease their pain.<br />

He reminds me of an esoteric Pied Piper, using<br />

shiny stones to lure his prey and the more I think<br />

about it, the more convinced I am that Theo sees<br />

himself as some kind of cult leader, albeit on a<br />

much more provincial scale.<br />

He even talks the language of cults:<br />

*Portals<br />

*Transformation<br />

*Activation<br />

*Consciousness<br />

*Reprogramming<br />

*Enlightenment.<br />

All designed to draw in women looking for<br />

answers. With Theo, there is also an obsession<br />

with phallic objects like the crystals and wands<br />

and, what worries me most, is how the recently<br />

bereaved, victims of abuse and rape, the newly<br />

divorced, newly single or terminally ill will<br />

invariably come into contact with him and there is<br />

nothing to stop Theo and other unscrupulous and<br />

exploitative people like him.<br />

How many people has he offered a joint to,before<br />

telling them that the best way of ridding<br />

themselves of the ties of past relationships is to<br />

have sex with someone else?<br />

It worries me that preys on the vulnerable.<br />

It worries me a lot.<br />
