The New Age movement
is a Western 'spiritual' movement
that developed in
the second half of the 20th century.
Its central precepts
have been described as
"drawing on both
Eastern and Western spiritual
and metaphysical
traditions
and infusing them
with influences from self-help
and motivational
psychology, holistic health, parapsychology,
consciousness
research and quantum physics."
The term New Age
refers to
the coming
astrological Age of Aquarius.
