I hear that Gnosticism has made a comeback in the modern world?

If this is true, does anyone have figures as to HOW MANY Gnostics there are today?

about 5

it does seem to be sparking a lot of new curiosity yes
how many .. i have no idea
but i have a feeling it will rise though

I couldn't find the actual count of gnostic people on the planet (sorry!), but I did find some links that show both (basic) sides of the rise of the gnostic faith. I hope they help you!

The number of practicing Gnostics depends on the definition of "Gnosticism." Given that everyone possesses some degree of eternal knowledge, everyone could be considered a practicing "Gnostic" to one degree or another.

Our school has initiated a significant number of practitioners during the past few years. Some of them were better prepared for the discipline than others.

To give a rough idea of the numbers, there are thousands of open Gnostics and millions of closet Gnostics.
