Description
Strange Rites: A kaleidoscopic exploration of America's new spirituality, where traditional worship is giving way to a diverse array of spiritual traditions and subcultures. In a society where mainstream religion has declined, Americans are embracing a vibrant panoply of spiritual practices, rituals, and communities. From astrology and witchcraft to wellness and social justice activism, people are seeking meaning and purpose in ever-newer and ever-stranger ways. Tara Isabella Burton examines this phenomenon, visiting with individuals from various spiritual backgrounds, including techno-utopians, Satanists, and polyamorous communities. As the Internet facilitates the discovery of new spiritual paths, Americans are experiencing a revival of faith, driven by intuition rather than institutions. This book offers a fascinating insight into the modern American religious landscape, revealing the ways in which spirituality is evolving and adapting to the needs of a rapidly changing world.
