The article considers the methodological possibility of applicability of such structural elements of religious mythology as «mytheme», «mythologeme», «archetype» (in the interpretation of C. G. Jung) to the analysis of modern religious mythology on the example of P. Ivanov's system and "Religion of Boheme". It is revealed that in the modern religious mythology of new religious movements there are mythems of archaic myth-making. The specificity of archaic myth-making, which has its own characteristics, is analyzed. It is concluded that modern religious mythology has its own structure, different from the archaic one, and for its analysis it is not possible to use the archetypal images of C.G. Jung. The article invites discussions about the semantic trajectories of the analysis of contemporary plots associated with new religious movements.
