Talk:New religious movements and cults in popular culture

message: ??? Anthroposophy, Steiner a cult or religious movement? I do not think we need more violations of WP:NOR in this article. Or should we move this article to Religion, spirituality, esotericism, cults, and new religions in literature and popular culture? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 18:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The above posting is not an explanation for removing properly cited material. Wicca is almost universally considered a new religious movement and so is Scientology, although some would say the latter is also a religious or human-potential cult. The teachings of Evola's group had elements in common both with Wicca's emphasis on ceremonial magic, and Scientology's emphasis on superman-style transcendance. (Of course neither of these groups ever shared Evola's racialism and pro-Nazi sentiments.) In addition, Evola's group was part of a larger revival of esotericism in the first half of the 20th century that had a strong, if unusual, religious component drawing upon Buddhism and (via Rene Guenon) Islam, as well as Hermeticism and Theosophy/Anthroposophy. These religious influences on the Evola group are discussed in the scholarly preface to the anthology of UR essays that is cited. I'm restoring the paragraph once again.--Dking (talk) 02:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
