New religious movements

New religious movements—from Scientology to Hare Krishna to contemporary witchcraft revivals—emerge when existing institutions fail to address particular human needs or when charismatic leaders offer compelling reframes of ancient wisdom for contemporary life. They're worth studying not to dismiss or join uncritically, but because they reveal what spiritual hunger looks like when it escapes traditional containers.
