A term first coined by
researcher & well known quester himself, Andrew Collins, it's probably best
described in his own words.... "it takes the psychic out of the stereotypical
seance room and into the landscape. Visionary experiences, powerful mystical
dreams, supernatural encounters, the retrieval of concealed artefacts, and
other, more clandestine activities, blend together to form this fast growing
occupation." "Supernatural quests are by no means new. In some form or another
they have existed throughout history.
In classical mythology there are accounts of warrior heroes who are led
by the gods to uncover concealed weapons of great power. In the early Christian
tradition there are documented accounts of pious holy men and saints' bones.
Joseph Smith, the early nineteenth-century founder of the Mormon Church,
established his entire faith on the authenticity of inscribed gold tablets
apparently unearthed by supernatural means."
"During the first decades of this century the rise of interest in spiritualism
led to various dramatic developments in what was described as psychic archaeology.
Architect and archaeologist Frederick Bligh Bond recorded the ancient words
of long-dead monks to uncover the previously unrecorded foundations of Glastonbury
Abbey.
Elsewhere in this Somerset town, a visionary named Wellesley Tudor Pole
sent his daughter and her friend to Bride's Well to follow a vision which
suggested that a holy vessel lay concealed in its murky depths. The two
women promptly waded through the spring's muddy basin and retrieved a bowl
of medieval sapphire-blue glass which was later to become the focus of miraculous
events."
