agnostic leaning toward atheist
meditation
use of incense and candles
belief in sometimes-tappable collective energy
earth/nature very important
i think it is kind of like wicca except that would involve gods and mystical beings (like faeries) which isn't in the above thing

oh, and no reincarnation or karma, either (that takes out theosophism)

That would be Buddhism. It has nothing to do with deities and importance lies on energy and meditation. Do some research on the different types of Buddhism. There are several great books that offer a basic overview on Buddhism. I recommend these:
Simple Taoism- C. Alexander Simpkins
Buddhism for Dummies
Buddhism Plain and Simple- Steve Hagen
Complete Idiots Guide to Taoism
They should really help.

Not all Wiccans beleive in fairies. Not all Wiccans believe that the gods and goddesses are anything more than a personification of a sort of energy. Many view the gods as a means to relate to that energy in a comfortable form.
It sounds to me like your philosophy could be expressed within Wicca, but Wicca is much more than that small bit that you mentioned. It is a religion and a philosophy (actually it encompasses many religions and philosophies).
Most Wiccans don't believe that their particular gods or goddesses are real and individual entities, such as do the Christians.

Meditating on a collective energy that flows from and connects all life?
That's The Force, baby!

Theosophist maybe, or pagan. All Wiccans are pagans, but not all pagans are Wiccans.

Incomprehensible drivel?

I think it's incomprehensible.
