New Age
A term
which became popular in the 1980s and is used to describe a nebulous, quasi-religious set
of beliefs, encompassing a wide array of notions, such as
spiritualism,
astrology,
mysticism, the occult,
reincarnation,
parapsychology, ecology and planetary awareness, as well as a
commitment to complimentary medicine and the pseudoscientific applications of the 'healing
powers' of crystals and pyramids.
New Age beliefs and
practices are largely confined to the industrialized West, and the origins of the movement
can be traced to the social and political unrest in the 1960s, dissatisfaction with
obsessive materialism, the influence of Eastern religions, experimentation with
psychedelic drugs, the development of humanistic psychology, and increased
eco-consciousness, Despite hostility from the popular media and the establishment, New Age
ideas now permeate many areas of mainstream culture, notably in the areas of behavioral
medicine, physics, psychology and even
business.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate
programs, and the little revenue I get from these is to pay for hosting,
bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
