The organization in France, in the 60s, of the Planète movement, born to gather readers of the Matin des magiciens and Planète magazines, constitutes one of the first attempts to establish a New Age “religion”, even if its failure could be observed as early as 1971. This article has the dual objective of describing the evolution of the Movement, from the founding work to the « Ateliers Planète », and of considering the concept of religion within the background of late modernity and the proto-New Age. The relationship between the decline of the movement and its inability to organize itself suggests an analysis using Durkheim’s ideas of “sacré de communion” and “sacré d’ordre”.
