Saved from Darkess to Light

Lucinda Button speaks of her journey into faith in Jesus Christ.

IN 'New Age to Jesus' Lucinda Button has drawn together a powerful collection of ten real-life testimonies from individuals who journeyed through the deceptive paths of New Age spirituality, only to find lasting peace, purpose and truth in Jesus Christ.

For anyone unfamiliar with the New Age and dark spiritualities these personal stories may sound a bit 'way out' but the common thread running through them all is the individuals' quests for truth. And that truth has led to life-transforming encounters which have brought healing, freedom and restoration.

Lucinda's personal struggles were the gateway into the New Age movement. Not that she would have called herself a New Ager as describing the New Age is like trying to pin a jelly to a wall. For many a need for healing is very commonly the doorway, and there are a myriad of different entry points.

For Lucinda it was through a combination of training in life coaching and reading a particular book that she became a spiritual life coach. Her focus was on ‘presence’ and ‘consciousness’ work, both personally and professionally rather than spiritual. But of course these things open the gateway and throughout she wanted her own spirit guides. Thankfully for her, she did not succeed. Many others have not been so fortunate.

Listen now to Lucinda speaking to an online audience as she tells of her own personal journey into faith in Jesus Christ.

The New Age Movement

(and its DANGERS)

THE New Age Movement (NAM) is an eclectic, spiritual and cultural phenomenon that emerged prominently in the 1960s onward. It is driven by an ultimately self-centred and essentially esoteric occultic spirit. The hit song ‘Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In is a medley of two songs written for the 1967 musical Hair. (The latter being the first example of nudity on the public stage.)

The NAM has its original roots back in the 19th-century when Russian/American mystic and writer Helena Petrovna Blavatsky who founded the Theosophical Society back in 1875. It has since developed into a blending of elements from Eastern religions, Western esotericism, psychology, and alternative healing practices. It emphasizes personal transformation, self-spirituality, and a coming era of global peace and enlightenment through heightened consciousness.

In the 20th-century the NAM emerged prominently in the 1960s counterculture. The hit song ‘Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In’ is a medley of two songs written for the 1967 musical Hair. (The latter being the first example of nudity on the public stage.) It gained traction amid disillusionment with traditional religion and rationalism. By the 1980s, it influenced mainstream wellness trends.

Instagram, YouTube and especially TikTok (“SpiritualTok”) have become major channels for astrology, tarot, manifestation, witchcraft, and crystal content

Common activities involve yoga, channeling, psychic development, and holistic therapies aimed at self-empowerment and healing. Its individualism — where the self is the ultimate authority — appeals to those seeking autonomy over institutional faith.

Latter-day platforms like Instagram, YouTube and especially TikTok (“SpiritualTok”) have become major channels for astrology, tarot, manifestation, witchcraft, and crystal content, often in short, viral formats.
These platforms create decentralized micro‑communities around practices (e.g., live‑streamed tarot, full‑moon rituals, scripting for manifestation) and fuse New Age themes with self‑help, pop psychology, and influencer culture.

"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 19:31

New Age ideas now infuse mainstream wellness: yoga-as-therapy, energy healing, chakras, sound baths, and “holistic” health are marketed as mental‑health or lifestyle tools rather than as religion per se.
Millennial and Gen‑Z audiences increasingly build eclectic “toolkits” that combine mindfulness, astrology, crystals, journaling, and shadow‑work/trauma language, reframing New Age practice as a form of personalized therapeutic spirituality.

With the advent and explosive growth in Artificial Intelligence, AI tools are now available and accessible for personalized tarot readings, manifestation apps, and virtual reality rituals are predicted to surge, blending New Age with digital wellness by the late 2020s and 2030s. Platforms like SpiritualTok will mature into immersive and collective practices such as global full-moon meditations.

The New Age Movement manifests as self-gratifying and seductive spiritual philosophy and practice which, in orientation, is diabolically designed to draw the individual away from a creator-God and into the occult.
