I continue to be amazed at the quality of contributors that our little magazine attracts. In the past, we’ve had Graham Hancock, Jacques Vallee and Alex Grey, among a host of other great writers, researchers and artists. Our new issue is no different; we are privileged to have some of the leading lights in parapsychology research, alternative history and new thought giving their input into the various mysteries facing humanity. Dr Dean Radin should need no introduction, as he is considered one of the foremost popularisers of psi research, via his original book The Conscious Universe, and now with his newly released Entangled Minds. Dr Radin has been kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule and chat to us about the latest news and views in the field of parapsychology. Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince are partly responsible for the Da Vinci mania which has swept the world in the past few years, as Dan Brown based parts of his book on their alternative history tome The Templar Revelation. In their article in this issue, they return to the source in a sense, by taking a closer look at the documents which heralded the ‘arrival’ of the Priory of Sion. Daniel Pinchbeck represents the cream of writing talent – he has it all, and beyond that Daniel is one of the deepest thinkers out there on alternative topics. His latest book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl covers the gamut of subjects, ranging from crop circles to parapsychology, right through to altered states of consciousness and channelled messages. Strangely enough, many of the topics in this issue are mentioned explicitly in his book, although I had already assembled the content of the magazine before I had the chance to read his work. Lastly, a little curveball. Laurence Newnam contacted me about advertising in the previous issue of Sub Rosa, and also kindly sent me a viewing copy of his DVD CircleSpeak. Upon viewing it, I felt compelled to ask Laurence to write for us about his experience in making the documentary, such is its quality (see the review in this issue). I do realise that opens the door for accusations of pandering to advertisers, but I think anyone who watches the feature will understand why I asked Laurence to share more information about CircleSpeak with the community. It is a shame that there are not more resources like it around in the alternative community. I’m hoping that Sub Rosa stands on similar ground! ...
