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] Beliefs in New Age ideas

are found among 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 forms of music known as " new age

music " , crafts—most visible in speciality shops and New Age fairs and

festivals, and increased interest in the methods of alternative

medicine.[4] [5]
