Seems likely.

Given that post-modernism is "weird for the sake of weird", all about
the individual perspective, et. al. then a strengthening of more
traditional forms seems inevitable in a post-modern world.

On the other hand, you could have something like "big tent magic",
where "alternative" methods are seen as individual expressions of a
fundamental truth ( i.e. magic ).  Sort of like unitarian magic, if
you will.  That might preserve the individual perspective and permit
disparate groups to work together ( or at least kill each other less
).

Hand in hand with a more traditional view of magic might be a
persecution of the old order; newly trained authentic thaumaturgists
hunting down old dipsomancers and epideromancers might make for an
interesting sleeper campaign.
