Steampunk emphasizes the technological aspect of the Victorian era. But there was a strong parallel current of mysticism throughout the 19th century. Part of it was in reaction to the mechanization and materialism of the time, but there was also a sincere belief among many that supernatural forces could be identified and described the way heat, electricity and light had been in the previous century.
Ernest Holmes, a member of the New Thought movement (a mystical school of the the American Pacific Coast in the 1880's) seems to sum up Fluttershy quite nicely:
"A mystic is not a mysterious person; but is one who has a deep, inner sense of Life and Unity with the Whole."
