Summary/Abstract: The pagan, occult and esoteric gnosis, promoted by AGEAC association, is an example of neo-paganism implemented during the postmodern period. It is a proof of the cruel reality represented by the phenomenon of the nowadays de christianisation. AGEAC proposes a pseudo- education anda pseudo- psychology which they call revolutionary psychology and which contributes, according to them, to the creation of a new man, gnostic, esoteric, occult and pagan. The pagan gnosis proposed by AGEAC is a return to the oriental pseudo- spirituality. The anti-educational and anti-psychologicalelements concern particularly the consciousness and the dimension of reality and are part of a manipulation program that turn the recruited person completely, to these adding the demonizing of all religious, philosophical, scientific, psychological and cultural values of both the Church and thecontemporary society. AGEAC remains a tantric sect, with clear elements of demonology and black magic, which introduces the adept into a fantasy world of alienation and total degeneration. At the same time, it proposes a cult of the elected in the person of Samael Aun Weor, as rarely meets in the area of sect and pathologic manifestations.
