Abraxas Links 

The first Abraxas site was actually assembled in Japan by John Russell - but I have not been able 
to reach it of late - is everything okay John? Apart from the present site, there is a subsidiary one 
at Tripod, mainly devoted to providing a sample of the contents of the most recent issue. In America
a first rate browse may be obtained from the well-designed Colin Wilson Page by John B. Morgan, 
which has a relatively comprehensive links page, and the inimitable Maurice Bassett at 'Reinventing
Yourself', offering downloads of original MSS and a selection of books, photographs and documents. 
The Booklist Site features a series of thorough and sharply written literary profiles, with extensive 
interviews, articles and bibliographies, the Colin Wilson entry being particularly varied and illuminating. 

 

In England the long-established Paupers' Press, headed by Colin Stanley, continues its sterling work and
there are many other peripheral and mainstream links all over the world. The Intuition Network, for 
instance, has Dr Jeffrey Mishlove conducting an interview with CW and no doubt additional material is 
being uploaded as I write this page. And if you'd like to enter a forum, discussing or merely eulogising 
about the works of CW, John Morgan has set up an active, well-organised outlet at Yahoo that may be 
entered through his site. Visit the 'Colin Wilson Club' and immerse yourself in a dazzling intellectual 
dust-up.  
 
Of the many sites of peripheral interest, first we have Sons of T.C. Lethbridge, a wonderful venture set up 
by the musicians, Julian Cope and Simon 'Templar' Brigton, devoted to the archaeologist and master dowser 
who anticipated so many ideas that are now accepted in alternative culture. The group have produced two 
brilliant CDs that may be obtained from the site and also include with them an attractively designed small 
book that contains an important overview of Lethbridge's major writings. Sixteen books are listed in all, 
reminding one that Lethbridge's output was more extensive than many realise. His first book was called 
'Umiak' and was subtitled 'The European Ancestry of the Women's Boat'. 
 
And now, as we enter the new year (2004) Geoff Ward has told me of his new site Colin Wilson World which
I am looking forward to investigating. Geoff, many of you will remember, was the journalist who contributed
                                             an excellent and thorough appraisal of Colin's career to celebrate his 70th year. And there is another fine site                                                 which I have been rather tardy in listing, and that is Faculty X  which concentrates on 
                                                                    the evolution of consciousness and man's sense of purpose.
