Well, it would be more accurate to say that the new age movement is linked to paganism. New Agers embrace anything that does not have to do with mainstream spirituality, i.e., Christianity, and any form of healing that doesn't line pharmacists' pockets. In most forms of paganism, they find what they are looking for. However, the difference between a New Ager and a serious pagan is that we tend to find one path among the pagan religions, such as Wicca, whereas New Agers happily mix and match Wicca, Voodoo, Santeria, druidism, and anything else they run across. I am not going to be so presumptuous as to say which way is better, but personally, I have chosen the wiccan path, and am working with a specific pantheon within wicca. I hope that clears things up for you.

What does the Bible say about New Age Spiritual?
AnswerThe New Age Movement is essentially a late twentieth century movement, with some antecedents in the nineteenth century, and roots going back to ancient paganism, monism and other concepts, as well as in atheism. It is thought by some to be a reaction against the failures of Christianity to meet the spiritual needs of today, or of secular humanism to provide ethical guidance.Since New Age Spirituality is a modern phenomenon, it was unknown to the ancient biblical authors and is not mentioned in the Bible.
Did Neo-paganism emerge as part of the New Age Movement or only at the same time?
Historically speaking, Neo-paganism as a movement really stems back to the middle part of the industrial revolution. As people were getting sick of the polluted and over crowded cities and as they were feeling more and more like "cogs in the machine" there were huge back-to-nature movements, where you can find the early roots of neo-paganism. The idea of the "nobel savage" in the late 1800's was especially prominent and many people started to mimic the practices of native tribes. This is also about the time that archaeology was really starting to take off, so there was a surge in the popularity of egyptian, greek and roman culture which led to further embellishment of the neo-pagan trend. However, you are right in pointing out that neo-paganism really bloomed with the rise of the new age movement, mostly as a result of the increased production of books and various mystical paraphenalia becoming economically viable.
