Historical dictionary of New Age movements

---

The New Age movements that emerged chiefly in the second half of the twentieth century constitute together an expression of the personalization of religion that has characterized modern Western spirituality in the wake of an increasing decline of institutional religious influence on social concerns, the increase of secularization as a non-religious option and the growing search for individual solace in the face of cultural uncertainties and bureaucratic hegemonies. In the ever-expanding pluralism of the West in which the individual possesses multiple affiliations and social identities, many people are concerned with developing an identifiable empowerment of self to counter the confusions arising from a surfeit of choice as well as the expanding macro-contexts that continue to dwarf. individual independence. The religion-spiritual often appears to offer a last domain in which a person retains the feeling that some freedom of self-determination is not only a possibility but is necessary to any viably sustainable location of value and meaning. Personalized religion takes many different forms (New Age, paganism, implicit religion, sectarian choice, evangelism, secular ideology, etc.), and part of this proliferation is the consequence of the "age of information" that has emerged and in which the individual is confronted by knowledge and awareness of other religious possibilities beyond that in which helshe has been born and acculturated.
