25th Anniversary Green Stone Presentation

It was 25 years ago this October that Graham Phillips and I instituted the modern era of psychic questing with the discovery at a place called Knights Hill Pool, Worcestershire, of a short steel sword bearing the inscription MEONIA FORE MARYE. Its location helped lead Graham to retrieve a small green cabochon stone found hidden in a seventeenth-century brass casket. Since then, we have independently taken part in literally dozens of psychic quests, which have often involved the discovery of hidden artefacts, all described, traced and retrieved by psychic processes alone. No one has ever been able to suitable explain these acts of paranormal adventure, and still they continue to occur on a frequent basis.

Thus in order to celebrate 25 years of psychic questing, I have hired Cecil Sharp House for the evening of the conference in order to present a special audio-visual presentation. This will not only feature new questing stories and revelations, but for the very first time publicly I will show a digital recording that records the actual discovery of an artefact by psychic means. This incident occurred on Saturday, 17 April 2004, when myself, my wife Sue and Richard Ward were led to an Essex churchyard by psychic means and here unearthed what we refer to as the Pan dagger - an antique brass paper knife with a handle fashioned into a representation of the god of nature playing the syrinx. .

Other recordings record how persons unknown attempted to block our vehicle’s exit from the site, and how the final recording on the digital camera somehow caught for posterity mysterious voices which have had a profound effect on those who have heard them

The presentation - which will be less formal than the round of talks scheduled for the day - will take place following a break of an hour or so after the last lecture, scheduled to finish at 6.30pm. This means that QuestCon04 should end around ten o’clock that evening, and so staying in London might be a good option (see the site for a list of hotels close to the venue).

Graham Phillips has said that he will attend QuestCon04, subject to availability. He is currently putting the finishing touches on two books. One, THE TEMPLARS AND THE ARK OF THE CONVENANT (published by Inner Traditions, 2004) is a part historical, part questing book (his first since THE EYE OF FIRE in 1986), involving his friends Graham and Jodi Russell from the USA. It concerns the search for the Ark of the Covenant both in the region of Mount Sinai, which he (and I) see as located at Petra in Jordan, and in this country. This British leg includes the retrieval of some semi-precious stones thought to be linked with the breastplate of Aaron, the high-priest of Israel and brother of Moses in Jewish tradition. Graham’s other book is ALEXANDER THE GREAT: MURDER IN BABYLON, which, as the title suggests, concerns the likely theory that Alexander was put to death in Babylon, following his ill-fated campaign in India. Its publication in October-November is tied in with the release of a new film on the life of Alexander the Great starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole Kidman.
