Major Website Re-vamp Planned

psychicQuesting.com has been running now for over four years and although specific pieces of functionality have been added (or, more rarely, removed), the overall structure and design hasn't changed at all since day one.

To rectify this I am planning a major site revamp between now and the New Year. I have some fairly clear ideas about the design and structure of the new site (as well as some pretty exciting new content...but more on that another time) but I'm very eager to hear what you, the actual users of the site, enjoy, find frustrating, want to see more of, want to see less of.... I'm soliciting opinion on all aspects of the site - design, structure, content - even technical aspects for those techies amongst you.

It would help enormously if you posted your comments - the good, the bad, the ugly all gratefully accepted - in reply to this forum thread - http://www.psychicquesting.com/ftopicp-1051.html#1051 that I've set up for the purpose of gathering feedback.

Many thanks for your support so far and hopefully with your assistance I can take the site to the next level.

Bloodsport for All!

A few threads have recently woven together into a little knot surrounding the use of ancient megalithic sites that I feel is worth highlighting. As mentioned in my review of the Psychic Questing weekender (below), the venue this year was Avebury and one of the visualisation exercises we performed was to float back in time and see how whether we could catch a glimpse of the past at this site.

I had rather an odd image come to mind that was of warriors with swords hacking down in what I can only describe as "in an industrial rhythm". Two groups of men lining up and striking something (unseen) in between with every second man moving in synch (and hence half a turn out of sync with the people on each side of them) - giving a piston-like precision to the strokes.

In fairness I can claim no originality as Andrew Collins had previously been vocal about the possibility of these sites as a focus for death cults or funerary rites so the suggestion had already been planted. Still the image was a striking one and it lasted with me long after the weekend had ended.

Review: Psychic Questing Weekender

It's been just over two weeks now since I returned from Andrew Collins' Psychic Questing Weekender (PQW08) and my brain still feels as if someone buzz-sawed off the top of my head, reached inside and polished up my brain until it squeaked.

I had previously attended a number of QuestCons, starting in 2000, and while I had initially enjoyed the big set-piece lectures from high-profile authors, I began turning more and more to what were then classified as the "fringe lectures". With PQW08, everything else has been jettisoned and the "fringe" is now centre stage. [Click on the "Read More..." link to continue]

Bega and The Sacred Ring: Blogged!

"Bega and The Sacred Ring" is a classic Psychic Questing text which has, unfortunately, been out of print for many years. I'm glad to report that its author, Alex Langstone, is now serialising the entire book on his Psychic Questing website - Esoteric Explorer. It's been running for a little while now so the Introduction, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 are currently online.

I also wholehearedly recommend subscribing to Alex's Spirit of Albion newsletter so that you will know when the following upcoming items appear:

Royston Cave Codex of the Templars decoded

Hello all at PQ! For those who accept the Knights Templar as guardians of a great secret, then allow Dan Green to reveal the story recorded and cut into chalk in the walls of Royston cave, Hertfordshire, veiled in the ancient code now slowly becoming popularised as the 'rabbit language'. His explanation can be found at; www.ellisctaylor.com/dgroystoncave.html alternatively at; www.farshores.org/a08rc.htm

TEMPLE BRUER, Tresor cache of the Knights Templar

Dan Green visits the remains of the Temple Bruer Preceptory, Lincolnshire, to show connexions with Rennes-le-chateau. Seems like somebody got there before him, as somebody has expertly removed two stone slabs from a wall to reveal a sealed cubby hole......wonder if they found anything?

Exclusive interview with questing psychic Carole Young

A brand new exclusive interview with Bega and the Sacred Ring psychic Carole Young is now available on Alex Langstone's Esoteric Explorer - the Psychic Questing Blog http://psychicquesting.blogspot.com. The interview includes interesting social history snippets from the early days of Earthquest, along with Carole's own views on psychic questing today.

Lincoln Cathedral /Holy Graal - latest evidence

Hi there yet again! The lastest installment of relentless author Dan Green's efforts to prove that the Grail - most probably the secret documents of Mary Magdalene - remain at a pin-pointed location within the precincts of the Gothic Cathedral at Lincoln can be found at: http://www.ellisctaylor.com/cjlincolngandss.html Dan, we learn, this very week is in the process of having the Cathedral aligned and orientated by maths,geometry and astronomy to endevour to prove a scientific connexion with the dogstar Sirius, which would go some way to further corroborating his work, a mild compensation for the Cathedral reneging on their original decision to allow a GPR scan at the site.

Sauniere Model Represents...Lincoln!

Just before his death, Saunière commissioned the construction of a three-dimensional model map depicting, on the face of it, Jerusalem.

Researcher Andr� Douzet has previously suggested that the maquette actually shows Rennes-Le-Château (see here for an extract from his book which gives an overview of his thinking with regards the model: http://perillos.com/model.html ).

However, Callum Jensen (aka The Green Dan) has now ingeniously argued that the model can be much more convincingly shown to represent Lincoln. Read Callum's full article here: http://farshores.org/a07lc.htm.
