The study of contemporary esoteric discourse has hitherto been a largely neglected
part of the new academic field of Western esotericism. Contemporary Esotericism provides
a broad overview and assessment of the complex world of Western esoteric thought today.
Combining historiographical analysis with theories and methodologies from the social
sciences, the volume explores new problems and offers new possibilities for the study
of esoterica. Contemporary Esotericism studies the period since the 1950s but focuses
on the last two decades. The wide range of essays are divided into four thematic sections:
the intricacies of esoteric appeals to tradition; the role of popular culture, modern
communication technologies, and new media in contemporary esotericism; the impact
and influence of esotericism on both religious and secular arenas; and the recent
de-marginalization of the esoteric in both scholarship and society
