Are there contemporary spiritual or New Age movements promoting Cayce-based forecasts for 2025–2026?
Executive summary
Contemporary Cayce-based activity is visible: the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) and affiliated authors and events are promoting Cayce’s readings as still relevant for 2025–2026, including explicit projects like “2026 Awakening” and new books titled about Cayce prophecies for 2025 and beyond [1] [2]. Major Cayce organizations continue to host conferences and programs in 2024–2025 presenting forecasts and interpretations of his readings for the near future [3] [1].
1. Long-running institutional support keeps Cayce’s forecasts in circulation
The principal institutional bearer of Edgar Cayce’s legacy, the A.R.E., is actively programming material that frames Cayce’s prophecies as timely and forward-looking. The A.R.E. published a piece explicitly titled “Seven Prophecies Yet to Come” and runs conferences and courses [4] [3]. A.R.E.-linked projects such as “2026 Awakening” use Cayce readings about the Great Pyramid and a “Hall of Records” as a framework to suggest upcoming changes and anniversaries that followers should watch for [1].
2. New books and media explicitly target 2025–2026 as prophetic milestones
Commercial publishing has responded: multiple listings advertise a book titled Edgar Cayce Prophecies for 2025 and Beyond (Andrew Parry) on platforms including Barnes & Noble, Google Books, Apple Books, and ebook services—demonstrating a market positioning Cayce’s material directly around 2025–2026 [5] [6] [2] [7]. These products package Cayce readings as applicable guidance for modern spiritual seekers and link his historical readings to present-day events [5] [2].
3. Conferences frame Cayce’s teachings as “relevant” to present challenges
The A.R.E. and its speakers continued to promote conferences in 2024–2025 that present Cayce’s readings on health, ancient civilizations, and the future as still “highly relevant,” suggesting an organized effort to interpret Cayce for contemporary crises and near-term dates [3]. Speakers affiliated with the A.R.E. and related projects are described as lecturing and presenting on topics tied to Cayce’s prophecies, which sustains a living movement rather than only historical interest [1] [3].
4. Themes emphasized: Earth changes, Atlantis, the Great Pyramid, and “awakening”
Across these materials the recurrent themes are Cayce’s Earth-change scenarios (submerged coastlines, pole shifts), ancient civilizations (Atlantis), the Great Pyramid/Hall of Records, and a spiritual/global “awakening” or shift in consciousness—topics used to anchor predictions for the mid-2020s [7] [1] [4]. These themes are characteristic of Cayce’s corpus and are being repackaged as forecasts or signs to watch in 2025–2026 [7] [4].
5. Marketplace and popular-media amplification beyond A.R.E.
Beyond institutional channels, general-interest media and listicles about 2025 prophecies cite Cayce when summarizing doomsday or transformation scenarios for the year, indicating broader cultural circulation though not necessarily scholarly validation [8]. Such coverage amplifies Cayce-themed narratives to audiences who may not be in Cayce-specific communities [8].
6. Skeptical and critical perspectives are present in the record
Critical perspectives exist and are represented in sources that contextualize Cayce as a New Age progenitor and note controversies—his incorporation of reincarnation, karma, universal consciousness, and the mixed record of prophetic accuracy are discussed by observers and critics [9] [10]. Christian research and skeptical outlets highlight that Cayce’s synthesis of Christian language with Eastern concepts shaped a New Age appeal but has drawn doctrinal criticism [10] [9].
7. What sources do not show: coordinated new worldwide movement tied to exact 2025–2026 events
Available sources document publications, A.R.E. programming, conferences, and marketed books tying Cayce to the 2025–2026 timeframe, but they do not describe a single new, coordinated global movement issuing uniform Cayce-based forecasts that predict specific, universally agreed events for particular 2025–2026 dates beyond organized A.R.E. projects and book authorship (not found in current reporting). The coverage shows multiple actors—A.R.E., independent authors, event organizers, and popular lists—each promoting Cayce-derived readings or interpretations [1] [2] [5] [8].
8. How to evaluate contemporary Cayce forecasts
If you are assessing Cayce-based 2025–2026 claims, sources suggest checking the provenance (A.R.E. material vs. independent reinterpretation), the specific readings cited (Great Pyramid/Hall of Records vs. Earth-change passages), and whether the claim is an interpretive guidebook, a conference theme, or an explicit near-term forecast [1] [7] [4]. Also note that mainstream critical treatments frame Cayce as influential to New Age thought but contested on doctrinal and evidentiary grounds [9] [10].
Conclusion: Contemporary New Age and spiritual actors—especially the A.R.E.—are actively promoting Cayce-based interpretations for 2025–2026 through books, events, and websites, but reporting shows a plurality of promoters and interpreters rather than a single unified prophetic movement [3] [1] [2] [5].
