Why “conspirituality” is a great word
CONSPIRITUALITY — [Noun] The syncretic belief system that fuses New Age or alternative spiritual practices with political conspiracy theories, often framing both as a path to hidden truth. Its etymology is a modern blend of 'conspiracy' (theory) and 'spirituality'. Unlike "conspiracism" (which broadly denotes belief in secret plots) or "spirituality" (which seeks transcendence in the inner self), conspirituality weaponizes enlightenment, grafting cosmic awakening onto a narrative of sinister cabals. It is the scent of sage smoke in a room where flat-earth maps are pinned to the wall; it is the warm, affirming grip of a yoga teacher’s hand as she whispers about adrenochrome; it is the serene certainty that the world’s collapse is both a geopolitical event and a cosmic ascension—a desperate cosmology that finds not God in the light, but demons in the machinery of the mundane.
noun
- A political and spiritual ideology that combines alternative or New Age beliefs with conspiracy theories.“A hybrid of conspiracy theory and alternative spirituality has appeared on the internet. The existence of such a synthesis has previously been noted in passing (Barkun; Goodrick-Clarke), but no detailed account has yet been given of what, for the sake of convenience, we call ‘conspirituality’.”
