As many of you will know from the forum posts, the Black Alchemist has launched his own microsite on MySpace.com.

Featuring photos of Black Alchemist artefacts, background articles and FAQs the site also contains details of the new "remastered" version of the classic psychic questing book which Andrew Collins plans to release on the 16 October 2007 (to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Great Storm.

The main site URL is http://www.myspace.com/theblackalchemistonline but the RSS feed link is also probably worth saving so that you will automatically be notified of any updates – http://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID=180116296

All in all a thoroughly entertaining site and a very clever way to publicise an upcoming book.

I’ve just been notified by Paolo Sammut of the Spectral Light website which he and Karen Wosley have been busy putting together. It focusses on the use of magic in both questing and paranormal investigation and already contains much of interest and which has the potential to develop further into an essential questing resource.

Here’s one for your diaries: Caroline Wise who, as a Priestess of the Goddess, has worked regularly with Isis, Sekhmet, Elen and Bride in London for eighteen years is holding a one day "workshop" revolving around Elen. The day will be experiential with illustarted talks, visualisation exercises and divination, exploring through this representative of the spirit of the land and the paths between landscape, myth and mind.

Andrew Collins is obviously clearing out his house in preparation for the new year. He’s putting up for sale a large portion of his own library consisting of essential Earth Mysteries, Archaeology, Ancient History, Folklore and Mysticism reference books (many marked with Andrew’s own research notes).

The whole lot can be viewed on Richard Ward’s ManMythMagic site here: http://manmythandmagic.com/page/andrewcollins.htm.

On Andrew’s own site, he’s dropped the price on his psychic questing backcatalogue by 20%. I’m sure I was beaten for some of those old Earthquest news newsletters on eBay a couple of years ago at prices much higher than listed on Andrew’s website – so this looks a real bargain.

Again the full list can be found here: http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/books/secondhand.htm.

The always engaging Greg Little has had a couple of articles published which tie in with Andrew Collins’ recently-released The Cygnus Mystery.

The first, entitled "Has Andrew Collins Found the Entrance to the Hall of Records at Giza?" appears in Alternate Perceptions Magazine #106, while the second, "Have We Been Duped by the Supposed Correspondence Between Orion’s Belt and the Three Pyramids of Giza?", features in the subsequent edition of the same magazine.

Finally, after months of deleting robot-submitted porn links, I have an unsolicited link that looks genuinely interesting. Many thanks to Cara Lousie for sending details of her fascinating website featuring books for children whose stories include elements of Psychic Questing (amongst other esoteric themes).

The website link is: http://www.caralouisebooks.com

Click on the "Read More…" link to find out more details of Cara Louise’s site or access it via the "Web Links" section of this site.

If anyone has read any of the books it would be great to get a review posted. Continue reading →
