Lavenderism is a reformed new religious movement and/or form of spirituality. It is based on philosophy, activism, self improvement and the worship (or veneration) of innumerable spirits and gods, though many are initially unimportant. It also includes magical practices that can benefit those who are able to wield them.

UFO religions exist, but I personally find it misguided to worship aliens or intelligent beings we haven’t met yet, especially if they aren’t gods or spirits. To me, worshiping aliens is the equivalent of people in Europe worshiping people on other continents before they meet them and really understand that they are people as well. Attributing divinity and mysticism to aliens probably makes us look primitive. They probably think to themselves “I park the spaceship and walk out, and these people think I'm some sort of paranormal entity or god.” and that’s probably why they won’t come to this planet. Think of how you would feel if you went abroad and got that sort of treatment. Or even worse the aliens probably think “The humans think we built the pyramids and a bunch of other things on Earth.” We don’t even know if these people just got lost on the way to some other planet and ended up on Earth just because they ran out of crystals to power their UFO. The aliens in their advanced civilizations may have developed machines or rays that heal traumas, diseases, or negative energy, that does not necessarily mean that these are supernatural powers.

It is also very telling how the language we use in regards to these people is just “Aliens” regardless of their homeworld or the home planet they could be from. The lack of exposure to people outside of the demographic of humans makes everyone put aliens in a box and people don’t even ask questions like “What homeworld are they from?” or “What group of aliens are they?” which are the most logical to ask. You cannot assume that any extraterrestrial has the same motives, intentions, or even origin as the others. We are talking about an alleged species of intelligent life forms that has the ability to communicate with us through LSD or Shroom hallucinations, which seems very advanced. So many people see aliens when tripping if they are not outright abducted. We don’t know if these are ancestors, ghosts of an ancient civilization of Earth, or even just manifestations from the mind.

You will also see people saying that Alien DNA can give you telekinesis or other powers. The association of specific, special DNA with supernatural feats seems to be a subconscious manifestation of eugenics. Many of the tropes we have about aliens like being very stiff, being socially different from others, or behaving in intelligent ways are associated with neurodivergence and conditions like Autism or sometimes even personality disorders. So while aliens can possibly exist, we also need to separate the existence of intelligent life on another planet from the Hollywood mythology that has been created and is used as reference by so many people.
