Occult and esoteric ideas became deeply embedded in Russian culture long before the Bolshevik Revolution. After the Revolution, occult ideas were manifested in literature, the humanities and the sciences as well. Although the Soviet government discouraged and eventually prohibited metaphysical speculation, that same government used the Occult for its own purposes and even funded research on it. In Stalin's time, occultism disappeared from public view, but it revived clandestinely in the post-Stalin Thaw and became a truly popular phenomenon in post-Soviet Russia. From cosmism to shamanism, from space exploration to Kabbalah, from neo-paganism to science fiction, the field is wide. Everyone interested in the occult and esoteric will appreciate this book, because it documents their continued importance in Russia and raises new issues for research and discussion. www.new-age-of-russia.com.

This Element introduces New Age religion. The New Age Movement is a loosely cohesive conglomerate of different spiritual currents with no common founder, leader, institution, dogma, or scripture. Because of its diversity, it may appear amorphous and incoherent at first sight. This Element emphasizes both the unity and diversity of the New Age. It approaches the phenomenon from three main perspectives: 1) the historical development of New Age religion, 2) ideas and practices associated with the New Age, and 3) the social organization of the New Age movement. It thus provides a wide-angle view that sketches out some of the main patterns that emerge from a mosaic of individual currents and actors associated with the New Age. It also highlights some of the differences within the movement by exploring some ideas and practices in depth.

Qué tienen en común un santero y un conchero y qué comperten éstos con un practicante del new age ? Ésta y otras cuestiones son el hilo conductor de la obra que ahora el lector tiene en sus manos, un libro que nunca dejará de tomar en cuenta la profundidad histórica y la dimensión política de los movimientos religiosos. Raíces en movimiento analiza los procesos dinámicos de translocalización que las religiones conocidas como « tradicionales » (como son las religiones de raigambre indígena o africanas) están viviendo en el contexto de los flujos globales. Asimismo, los artículos que conforman esta obra tratan distintos sujetos (santeros, « yorubas del nuevo mundo », « akan », danzantes, indiígenas o neoindígenas, chamanes, huicholes, mazatecos, otomíes, new agers, consumidores de yajé, sufíes, etc.), quienes realizan sus prácticas rituales en distintos contextos geográficos. El conjunto de los textos aquí reunidos contribuye a la descripción de alteridades culturales genera y activa redes sociales que traspasan los límites propios de las formas de organización básica estudiadas y de sus eventuales especificidades identitarias.
