The search for an adequate understanding of the New Age phenomenon
is fraught with difficulties when examined within the perspectives
of sociology of religion which have shed light on religion in
modernity. New Agers cannot be located easily in the secularisation
narrative; they move through fluid networks rather than settled
collectivities; they assemble personal syncretisms of belief, myth
and practice rather than subscribe to codified doctrines and
prescribed rituals. New Age is quickly found to be a label that is
unacceptable to many of those designated as New Agers. This book
advances our understanding of the so-called New Age phenomenon by
analysing accounts of insiders' religious experience and
orientations. This approach is brought to bear not only on the
study of written documents relating to New Age and its putative
antecedents, but on the analysis of in-depth interviews with
thirty-five spiritual actors.
