The specific analysis of group behavior among communities bonded by metaphysical beliefs, focusing on the emergence of shared language, rituals, and social norms. It explains why crystal enthusiasts all seem to develop the same gentle, ethereal speaking voice, why yoga retreats inevitably lead to a group consensus on the best brand of coconut oil, and why any gathering of mediums eventually results in someone "channeling" a message that conveniently confirms what everyone already wanted to hear. Metaphysical sociology proves that even the most individualistic spiritual journeys often end in a group hug.
Example: "At the full moon circle, a fascinating example of metaphysical sociology occurred: despite everyone having a unique, personal connection to the divine, they all simultaneously decided that the proper way to release intentions was to burn bay leaves. No one could explain why, but the group consensus was absolute."
