More about the book

The book offers a fresh sociological perspective on contemporary religious practices like channelling, holistic healing, meditation, and divination, often associated with the New Age Movement. Through extensive ethnographic research conducted in the UK and comparative studies across America and Europe, the author, Matthew Wood, challenges conventional interpretations of these phenomena, providing a critical examination of their significance in modern society.
