The Psychic Questing Weekender

The very latest on what will go down at this year's Psychic Questing Weekender in Avebury in September.

Seeing Cosmic Rays

Did you know you can see cosmic rays? Learn about the latest experiments in monitoring cosmic rays passing through our heads and causing bright flashes in the eyes, and how they might have inspired religious experiences in deep cave environments in Palaeolithic times.

The Aveley Abduction - Plasma Life and the Fifth Dimension

In 1974 a family of five on a deserted Essex road witnessed a strange blue light and then coasted into a luminous bank of green mist. On arrival home they realized that three hours were missing. Andrew Collins reveals a stunning new interpretation of the events of that evening, where he believes the car and its contents were literally thrown out of space-time, enabling the family to encounter a multi-dimensional intelligence existing within plasma, the fourth state of matter.

Scientists Find Extraterrestrial Building Blocks of Life

At last scientists have uncovered firm evidence from a meteorite that the building blocks of life exist elsewhere in the universe. Read about what this means for theories that life evolved on earth.

Spreading Spores

The meteorite in which this new evidence of life elsewhere has come fell on Murchison, in Victoria, Australia, in 1969. Read what Andrew said about its role as evidence of panspermia (literally 'life everywhere') in THE CYGNUS MYSTERY (2006).

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

PSYCHIC QUESTING WEEKENDER
TO REPLACE QUESTING CONFERENCE

This is to officially announce that the usual Questing Conference is to be replaced by a Psychic Questing Weekender, to be held this September in the scenic setting of Avebury in Wiltshire.

The Questing Conference in its current format has run its course, and will no longer take place. This is quite simply because there are now so many similar events in Britain each year that it is severely watering down the ability of an organiser to create and pull off unique and successful conferences. On top of this, Andrew Collins has made the decision to concentrate his time more on conducting further research for upcoming books, and to enjoy life more fully.

Even though the Questing Conference par see will no longer exist, its spirit will be carried through to the Psychic Questing Weekender, which, actually, will be more fun, and more beneficial all round.

In many ways, Andrew is going back to his roots, when the very earliest Psychic Questing Conferences were there to offer an alternative approach to the utilisation of psychic capability in a modern-day context. The Psychic Questing Weekender will allow you to understand this process, through theory, practice, meditation, and philosophies, much of which is expressed in the books by Andrew Collins. There will also be news on some recent successful quests.

And Andrew won't be doing this alone, either.

Familiar faces from the questing community will be on hand to offer their knowledge and experience, and to make sure the whole show goes off without a hitch. There will be no other speakers and no commercial stalls, just a quiet relaxed atmosphere, that will embrace the ancient sanctity of one of Britain's most active ritual landscapes, which includes the Avebury stone complex, Silbury Hill, West Kennet long barrow and Swallowhead Spring, sites that will be visited over the weekend.

Tickets for the event are limited so order yours now. More information on the weekend will be provided soon.

ANDREW COLLINS CONFIRMED AS KEY SPEAKER AT PRESTIGIOUS EVENT IN MILAN

Andrew Collins will take part in a key conference on the origins of Egyptian civilisation to be held in Milan on Saturday, 20th April 2007. Also on the bill will be Graham Hanock, Robert Bauval, Robert Schoch and John Anthony West, the first time all five of these figures have come together in one building to discuss a common interest.

Andrew will introduce his brand new vision of the development of the Giza complex, based on simple trigonometry and astronomical alignments. In the knowledge that his findings conflict with those of the other speakers that day, it should make for an entertaining weekend, one that might well go down as legendery!

We shall bring you more on this event when more information becomes available.

REPORTS THAT A NEOLITHIC 'CITY' HAS BEEN UNEARTHED IN EGYPT'S FAIYUM OASIS ARE GROUNDLESS - ANDREW COLLINS HAS THE FULL STORY

In February an Egyptian press agency announced the discovery of a Neolithic 'city' in the Faiyum Oasis. Dating back 7,200 years, it was said to have roads, walls and settlement structures constructed of terracotta and dressed limestone, while unconfirmed reports spoke of the US team from the California of University finding 'decorated blocks of granite', as well as firm evidence that the settlement was once beneath the waters of the Birket Qarun lake.

However, confusion reigns with respect to this discovery, and it is now known that the original press release mixed together two separate stories - one relating to the uncovery in the faiyum of a Neolithic settlment and the other concerning recent work on a nearby Graeco-Roman village.

Andrew Collins to be key-note speaker at the ARE's Ancient Mysteries conference in October 2008

Andrew Collins has been confirmed as a key speaker at the ARE's Ancient Mysteries conference in Virginia Beach, VA, to be held between 9/10 October 2008. The title of the event is 'Return of the Ancient Ones', and Andrew's presentation is'Crop Circles - Signs of Transformation'. It is a subject he knows much about having investigated the appearance strange swirled circles and formations in crops for over 30 years. Mysterious crop circles have been in Britain and the USA for hundreds of years, and although fierce debate surrounds their nature and origins, no one can deny that today they are seen as symbols of change, and signs of transformation in the lead up to the events of 2012.

Andrew Collins to appear at two final conferences before the end of the year

Andrew Collins has been confirmed as a keynote speakear at two major conferences, one in the UK and the other in the USA. The latter is the 'Shh! it's A Secret! Conference' on 16-19 November in Phoenix, Arizona. He will be giving two presentations, one on The Cygnus Mystery and the other on the secrets of the Pyramids and the origins of the Watchers and Nephilim. For more information click here.

Andrew's final UK appearance is at the Conference of Angels to be held at the Glastonbury Assembly Rooms across the weekend of the 8/9 December. His presentation will be an antithesis to the general vibe of the event, for Andrew intends talking about those angels that fell from grace. We are, of course, talking about the Watchers and Nephilim, the subjects of books such as FROM THE ASHES OF ANGELS and GODS OF EDEN.

A Big Thanks to all those who attended QuestCon07

Andrew and Sue Collins would like to thank all those who attended QuestCon07, the 2007 Questing Conference, held for the first time in Glastonbury. The event was a complete sell out with over 200 people packing out the venue across the weekend.

'It was a great weekend and I personally want to thank not only the delegates, many of whom spent great time and effort being here, but also the staff, stall holders and speakers, who came together in a harmonious way, that has been praised by all,' Andrew said.

'It would be wrong of me to chose my favourite presentation,' he added, 'as they were all good, but all credit must go to Graham Hancock for delivering a dynamic update on his Supernatural talk, which was quite literally life changing.'

And what about next year? What of QuestCon08? We put this to Andrew:

'There are a lot of changes going on at the moment, and who knows what will happen. Stay tuned to this site and all will be revealed soon.'

OCTOBER 2007

Tutankhamun Died in Hunting Accident -
Its Official!

A new documentary will demonstrate that Tutankhamun was killed falling from a chariot during a hunting accident, a view being championed by Zahi Hawass, director of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities. Compelling evidence will be presented on a Channel Five special in the UK on 30 October to show that his background as a keen hunter, and the injuries sustained before his death at the age of just 18, are consistent with him having suffered some kind of fall from a fast moving vehicle. This theory, which has been suspected since Tutankhamun's remains were subjected to a CT scan two years ago, follows melodramatic claims by various authors that the boy king was murdered at the orders of his successor, the elderly Aye. Such ideas have always contradicted the evidence, and hopefully they will now be laid to rest. Andrew Collins and co-author Chris Ogilvie Herald concluded in TUTANKHAMUN: THE EXODUS CONSPIRACY (2000) that the boy king was killed in a hunting accident, something that might well have been preserved in a folk tale found in the Jewish Talmud.

England's First Serpent Mound Under Threat of Burial from Road. A Report by Andrew Collins

On 4th July 2007 Hereford Council released details of one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in Britain for a very long time. A 65-metre long serpent mound of fire-cracked stones in zigzagging paths has been unearthed at Rotherwas in Herefodshire, close to the border between England and Wales. Yet it is immediately under threat of being buried beneath a new highway, but can anything now be done about it? Andrew Collins reports, giving his own unique view and comparing the Rotherwas Serpent Mound with another of equal importance on Loch Nell in Scotland and Ohio's own serpent mound in Serpent Mound Park, Adams County.

The Cygnus Mystery - Explained

All around the world there exist ancient and sacred monuments that reflect the influence of Cygnus, the constellation of the celestial swan, known also as the Northern Cross.

Everywhere from Cuzco in Peru to the Great Pyramid in Egypt. From the painted caves of southern France to the largest stone circles in Britain, and the Hindu temples of India. All show that this constellation was very important in the ancient mindset from the beginning of human history. But why? Was it purely astronomical? Was it because it is one of the brightest constellations in night sky, prominently placed on the Milky Way? Or was there some other reason?

Find out why. Click here now.

Was a Comet responsible for a major cataclycm in North America 12,900 years ago?

New scientific findings have huge implications for Atlantis theory

In 2000 Andrew Collins's book GATEWAY TO ATLANTIS proposed that around 9000 BC a comet came out of the north-western sky, broke into pieces and caused untold firestorms, earthquakes and devestation across North America. Its larger pieces crashed into the Western Atlantic Basin, completely engulfing the Bahamas and Caribbean and creating the myth of Atlantis. Now scientists believe that just such a comet did strike the North American continent during this epoch, confirming Andrew's theories and providing tantalizing new evidence to support the long-held view that the Bahamas is Atlantis's sunken kingdom with Cuba its flagship.

Andrew Collins answers further queries from Robert Bauval on the role of the falcon-headed deity dwn-'nwy in ancient Egyptian astronomy

Still holding his own, Andrew Collins answers further queries from Robert Bauval, co-author of THE ORION MYSTERY, on whether or not the falcon-headed deity dwn-'nwy is Cygnus, following a new posting on the Graham Hancock message board (GHMB).

Cygnus vs Orion at Giza - A Response to Robert Bauval Queries by Andrew Collins

Since February Robert Bauval, co-author with Adrian Gilbert of THE ORION MYSTERY, has attacked the Cygnus-Giza correlation proposed in Andrew Collins's most recent book THE CYGNUS MYSTERY. This has come by way of postings on the Graham Hancock message board, the premier forum of the ancient mysteries subject (along with the Hall of Maat, which has also debated the Cygnus-Giza correlation). For some two weeks Andrew meticulously answered all queries thrown at him by Robert and his supporters of the Orion Correlation theory. In just one week the first thread attracted over 270 postings and was discontinued since it had become too long and cluttered. Others started immediately, and since the last week in February there have been many hundreds of new postings on the Cygnus vs Orion debate.

However, Andrew had to discontinue the debate as he and his wife Sue moved house from Essex to the West Country, which through a series of unfortunate circumstances meant that he was offline for nearly a month. In Andrew's absence Robert Bauval ran rings around the Cygnus-Giza debate, stating boldly that it was now as dead as a swan in the water.

Nothing can be further from the truth, for Andrew has now had a chance to read and respond to all queries posed by Robert, and these he intended answering on the Graham Hancock message board. Unfortunately, the moderator deemed that it was too long and that Andrew should still address all individual points made by posters in his absence. Since this would take far too long, and many topics are duplicated, he has decided that the full response will instead appear here on the Andrew Collins website.

THE ROOTS OF RUNWELL AND THE RUNNING WELL MYSTERY

Back in 1983 Andrew Collins wrote a local book entitled THE RUNNING WELL MYSTERY (Earthquest Books), which focused on an ancient holy well at Runwell in Essex, England, known locally as the Running Well. For many years afterwards Andrew researched the well, and finally he has produced a definitive history which shows that it has been in use for over 2000 years, and was frequented as early as 7,000 years ago. Click here to read this important article, which includes a full itinerary of all artefacts found in the vicinity of the well.

ANDREW COLLINS AND ROBERT BAUVAL GO HEAD-TO-HEAD ON THE GRAHAM HANCOCK MESSAGE BOARD

Click here to read a brand new pre-print article from Andrew Collins on the mysteries of Glastonbury - in particular claims that its local hills come together to form a gigantic landscape swan - and its relevance to both the Cygnus mystery and the events surrounding 2012. The article, which appears in the Spring 2007 issue of Glastonbury's AVALON magazine, is a perfect summary of Andrew's views following the publication of his book THE CYGNUS MYSTERY in November 2006.



CYGNUS vs ORION - COLLINS REPLIES

Please note that Andrew has responded extensively to posts regarding the Cygnus vs Orion debate on the following online phorums:

Graham Hancock website and The Hall of Maat website



THE CYGNUS MYSTERY AND EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE

THE CYGNUS MYSTERY proposes that the earliest usage of the Christian symbol of the Crucifix derived from the pagan cult of Orpheus, who is shown on a magical gem as crucified on a cross. This itself is undoubtedly a representation of the Cygnus constellation, since this star group was said in Greek myth to have been Orpheus in the form of a swan. Now a new article finds further evidence of the relationship between Cygnus and the Crucifixion Cross in early Gnostic texts. Read 'The Cygnus Mystery and Early Christian Literature' by 'The Supernaturalist by clicking here.



CYGNUS vs ORION

THE CYGNUS MYSTERY proposes that the Giza plateau was the location for the cult of the falcon-headed god Sokar, before even the three main pyramids were built in the Fourth Dynasty of Egyptian history. Sokar can be shown to have a celestial counterpart in the northern night sky, which is identified by Andrew Collins as the Cygnus constellation. In view of Cygnus sight lines on the Giza plateau, he shows also that key stars in Cygnus overlay perfectly with the three main pyramids. Indeed, it is a better match that with those of Orion's Belt. This realization is now causing a fierce debate on some forums dealing with ancient mysteries and Egyptology. To follow the threads to the Graham Hancock website and also the Hall of Maat website. Andrew will make a statement on this subject shortly.



HAS ANDREW COLLINS FOUND THE ENTRANCE TO GIZA'S HALL OF RECORDS?

The Cygnus vs Orion furore was initiated following the posting of an article in ALTERNATIVE PERCEPTIONS MAGAZINE Issue 106, November 2007, by Dr Greg little entitled 'Has Andrew Collins Found the Entrance to the Hall of Records at Giza?'. It is based on Andrew's work at Giza concerning Cygnus-related sight lines, and the discovery of an ancient holy well said to be the entrance to a subterranean world beneath the plateau.
