ABSTRACT

This chapter has two aims. First, through a consideration of the Indigo Child, prediction, and prophecy it will continue to question the “crisis” model of the New Age movement as presented by Melton. Second, it will argue that prediction is actually secondary to prophecy among the Indigo Children, as temporal schemes reflect on their understanding of society, to the extent that I argue the Indigo Children themselves are best understood as a community of prophets, and even living prophecies, in a millenarian mode.
