Religion of Celtic High Fantasy
Since the 1970's, subjects of unknown origin have stocked the bookshelves of bookstores, libraries, retailers and other notewrorthy merchants, sold at moderate to reasonable prices and emulated by persons of all sources to where drastic lifestyles changes werer made, especially in terms of a "time warp." For some persons in the mainstream, the literature is mere nonsense, remiscient of science fiction and fantasy but without the magic nor the science deplicted in popular ltierature. For the persons who purchased the books, on the other hand, praised the works to be like that of L. Ron Hubbard or Baba Ram Dass, authors with mixed reputations. The fanfare had so much reputation that publishers decided to coin a phrase or term so as to categorize these works of fiction, and the best term they could devise was "new age," after the Latin word for the Celtic religion of Galicia, which is Marin. Such a term also sparked controversy, since the works of these "new age" authors contradicted both the Zodian literature and the high fantasy noted among J.R.R. Tolkien and Sinclair Lewis, both into whom defended their religious beliefs before the literary movement hereof.
The new age literary movement of the 1970's and 1980's also gave rise to the so-called neopagan movement of literature, along with the Wiccan counterculture and mock devotions of Scientology, Eckankar and Celtic Christianity, just to name a few. All of the New Age literature that are "condemned" are found to be non-Zodian, as certain themes of Islam, Judaism and Zen Buddhism were prevalent. Such literature was also found to be of the imagination, as a recent poll on religious movmements found no objective resources to define or distinguish the entity form all other social groups. Aspects of fantasy and science fiction were found in new age literature, including pseudologisms, nonexistient place and time, supernatural powers and so on. The difference between this literary genre and that of science fiction and fantasy is that the elements of both subgenres are superimposed and integrated while "new age" literature utilizes abstractions of religious beliefs and modern spirituality.
Although the Latin term for "new age" would also fall under noetic, many literary fanatics feel it should be sold under religion or philosophy since they wish to remain anonymous, mostly in fear of being condemned by their loved ones. The sequence of "new age" literature is similar to self-help or support groups into which the matter is simply of trust and fellowship. Simply put, the greater majority of religious faith would currently feel that the "new age" movement should be categorized and placed where it belongs -- in the literary genre of science fiction and fantasy.
