They've repackaged pantheism and Hinduism as "New Age", it's true. You've copped that. Well done!

Even neo-paganism is an umbrella term for many of the newly created religions.

Which is exactly why I am hoping for a few specific "new-age" religions be presented.
Wicca was started in the early 1950s.
Then you have all the religions that claim the title Wicca that have little to nothing to do with wicca.

IMO, it's a term... not everything needs to be taken literally...

It's new to me. But if it upsets you so, I'll refer to it as "pre-owned" if that helps.

In 1976 Manuel Gottsching, lead guitarist for Ash Ra Tempel, went solo and put out a classic LP of electronic music called "New Age of Earth" which was first soundtrack for earth muffins smoking pot and staring at their lava lamps to be called "new age music", which today is dominated by the likes of Yawn-i. The religious stuff jumped into the same bin with the tunes.

The practices may go way back but the way most people practice don't.

New Age

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see New Age (disambiguation).


Spirituality Portal
New Age is the term commonly used to designate the broad movement of late 20th century and contemporary Western culture, characterized by an eclectic and individual approach to spiritual exploration and references the supposed coming astrological Age of Aquarius. Self-spirituality, New spirituality, and Mind-body-spirit are other names sometimes used for the movement. [1][2][3] New Age is a term which includes diverse individuals, including some who graft additional beliefs onto a traditional religious affiliation. [3] Individuals who hold any of its beliefs may not identify with the name, and the name may be applied as a label by outsiders to anyone they consider inclined towards its world view. The New Age movement includes elements of older spiritual and religious traditions from both East and West, many of which have been melded with ideas from modern science, particularly psychology and ecology. New Age ideas could be described as drawing inspiration from all the major world religions with influences from Spiritualism, Buddhism, Hermeticism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Shamanism, Mayanism, Ceremonial magic, Sufism, Taoism, New Thought, Wiccan and Neo-Paganism being especially strong. From this collection of influences have come a wide-ranging literature on spirituality, new musical styles and crafts—most visible in speciality shops and New Age fairs and festivals[4][5]
