ABSTRACT
The chapter focuses on the way spiritual actors across NRMs and New Age network as discovered in Possamai. It argues that new religious movements (NRMs) were a strong phenomenon in the 1960-70s, and even if many of them still exist today, the taste for alternative spiritualities moved towards New Age Spiritualities in the 1980-90s. The term New Age' lacks a clear denotation in the academic literature and among the likes of the New Age spokespersons listed by York such as Gayce and MacLane. The term NRMs tends to describe new forms of religions which have developed during the 1960s in the western world. People from this NRM believed that that there was a decline in moral values among young people and that traditional Christian churches had been in decline. Within this cultic milieu, another type of religious group called neo-paganism which is not a NRM or a New Age group, but which shares many characteristics with them, evolves.
