In their latest feature exclusively for their Patreon patrons, L&C continue to sift fact from fiction in the ‘Nazi Occult’ mythology.
Tracing the origins of certain key memes leads to some surprising places, including not just British psychological warfare operations but astrological warfare – and aimed at a very unexpected target...
Lynn outlines the new instalment of her memoirs, out today on Patreon:
‘We never moved far from Number 15, except for a few modest UK holidays, but occasionally the mysterious and scary Abroad had a habit of intruding itself into our lives, sometimes poignantly and sometimes hilariously. There were, after all, all those Mormon missionaries from the States, besides a language teacher who I encouraged to spend time with her boyfriend instead of teaching us French conversation... not to mention my fiancé Dutch Eric, with his monstrously rude mother...’
In a happier, lighter – and tastier – dip into wartime history than their current ‘Occult Reich’ Patreon series, Lynn and Clive were thrilled to be invited to the preview of the new Second World War-themed afternoon tea at the exclusive hotel Raffles London at The OWO. In the historic and elegant Edwardian Old War Office in Whitehall, a wartime espionage and intelligence hub, the tea is inspired by the legendary Second World War deception Operation Mincemeat – created in the building – and is tied in to the multi-award-winning musical comedy of the same name currently running in the West End and on Broadway.
Guests at the very buzzy event included writers, journalists, bloggers and influencers, besides three of the musical’s four writers, who gave a very entertaining talk about the production.
The unapologetically moreish tea includes five cakes and pastries created by Raffles’ chefs to represent different elements of the Operation: The Navy (a submarine); The Intelligence Room (a telephone); The Unspoken Hero (an airplane propeller); The Love Letter (speaks for itself) and the big one, The Briefcase.
It was a delight for L&C to share a table and fascinating conversation with the enthusiastic fellow guests, including one of the musical’s writers and stars, Natasha Hodgson, Financial Times investigative reporter Helen Warrell, Clare Mulley, author of several biographies of wartime women, and a gentleman from GCHQ who shall remain anonymous.
Thanks to everyone who dreamt up the very special event – and then presented it. Yum...
The second of L&C’s ‘Occult Reich’ features is out today on Patreon.
The first showed that the Nazi Party did at least partly owe its origins to vaguely ‘occult’ individuals and groups, most famously the Thule Society. However, they were only really associated with the likes of Rudolf Hess and, especially, the SS’ Heinrich Himmler, not the Führer himself. Yet in all that postwar ‘Nazi occult’ literature, Hitler is portrayed as a very black magician, even an actual satanist. But was he?
‘My adored teacher and friend Sheila - previously “Shirley” in The Unchosen - died at the beginning of April. Knowing her was beyond inspiring and being with her on breaks up in York with friends was to be in a safe haven and a sort of golden age. This instalment is all about Sheila, a truly remarkable woman who also taught and advised a certain student torn between drama school and university. That young woman became an award-winning Hollywood actor...
In your heart, why not also celebrate those shining figures who showed you the way?’
Lynn and Clive write:
‘We are deeply saddened to learn of Nick’s passing after a brave battle with cancer at the age of 60.
He was a good friend who we knew when he was still on the Ministry of Defence’s ‘UFO desk’ and working on his groundbreaking first book Open Skies, Closed Minds. We have happy memories of the many times we hung out with him before his move to the US in the early 2010s. Nick worked tirelessly to get to the truth about UFOs, and for the British government to take the phenomenon seriously.
Our thoughts are with his wife, Elizabeth Weiss, and family.’
At this time of year, L&C usually endeavour to come up with an Easter-themed feature for their patrons on Patreon. In their latest, out today, they look at some intriguing evidence hinting that Mary Magdalene was present at the Last Supper – after all, judging by including her in his famous mural, Leonardo da Vinci seems to have thought she was!
However, although Lynn and Clive's telling is not entirely serious here, behind it is a much deeper point, concerning the part women played in Christianity's early centuries. And their role was hardly incidental: in fact, their importance has been shamelessly downplayed – indeed, almost erased. And that outrageous bias continues even today...
Thanks, Alexander!
In the latest instalment of her memoirs, out today for her followers on Patreon, using examples from her own life Lynn muses on how the things we dread can sometimes turn out much better than feared, or indeed vice versa, and how Little Lynn and not-so-Little-Lynn got through the trials....
She invites her readers, too, to look back over their own ups and downs. Is it true that things tend to turn out better than feared?
The Cosmic Clock podcast L&C recorded yesterday with Greg Mallozzi is already online. Fast work, Greg!
The episode, 'If You're Looking for a Conspiracy, This is It', in which L&C delve into the disturbing story they unearthed in The Stargate Conspiracy, is on the Cosmic Clock YouTube channel.
The project grew out of filmmaker Greg's decade-long research into parapsychologist Andrija Puharich that culminated in his recently-completed documentary. As readers of L&C's The Stargate Conspiracy will know, Puharich is a central figure in their investigation into the Council of Nine and the manipulation of belief surrounding contact with extraterrestrials, so of course the conversation focussed on that.
The podcast will be online shortly on the Cosmic Clock’s YouTube channel.
Thanks, Greg, for the invitation.
UK channel 5 screened the documentary on the life and death of George, Duke of Kent – brother of King George VI and uncle of the late Queen Elizabeth II – featuring Lynn on his scandalous and hedonistic life in the 1920s and 30s, his connections to the Nazi regime, and the mystery surrounding his death in a plane crash in a remote area of Scotland during the Second World War.
The last part received a disappointingly cursory discussion in which other contributors raised questions about the conclusions Lynn and Clive, together with Stephen Prior and Robert Brydon, reached in their 2001 Double Standards: The Rudolf Hess Cover-Up, while glossing over some of their more challenging findings. Rest assured, L&C will be addressing this in a Patreon feature!
Produced and directed by Katie Harris, The Forgotten Prince also featured fellow Hess researcher John Harris, ex-detective turned historical mystery investigator Mike Morgan, biographers Sophie Waugh and Christopher Wilson, royal commentator Wesley Kerr OBE, historian Ed Owens and George Bethune, son of one of the first at the crash site in 1942.
The programme is available to watch on 5’s free-to-view streaming service.
In their new feature for their patrons on Patreon, out today, L&C delve into a very dark subject.
Recently, revisiting the interwar episode in their series on the history of the superconspiracy theory, it struck L&C that some might see a glaring omission. While they explored the Nazis' promotion of the belief in the great conspiracy for world domination run by Jews and Freemasons, what about the place of Hitler and his henchmen within the post-war development of the theory? After all, the 'Nazi occult' meme, which portrays them as in the thrall of demonic, malevolent forces, has become a given to many. And surely there are few more obvious candidates for a place in the millennia-long battle between the darkness and the light. So why don’t the Nazis feature in the usual idea of the superconspiracy?
To begin to answer that question L&C examine the occult ideas and beliefs that are said to lay behind the Nazi agenda.
The episode will be available on YouTube and Spotify soon.
The new season will be broadcast on the History Channel in the US later this year – details to follow when announced.
The latest instalment of Lynn's memoirs, The Unchosen at Number 15, is out today on Patreon. Lynn introduces its theme:
'Funny, isn't it, looking back, how certain moments led to great changes in one's life or how comments from friends helped bad situations suddenly dissolve into nothingness?
This time I'm presenting my memories of such tipping points in part one of a short series of such catalyst moments, for which I'll be forever grateful. Not to mention the friends who shifted the trajectory of my story, one of whom might even have saved my life by inspiring me to get out of an abusive relationship with a man later seriously considered as a candidate for the Yorkshire Ripper.
And I’m inviting you to look back over your life and noting the critical moments that changed your narrative. Go on, you'll be surprised!'
The full footage from L&C's interview for Stewart Ferris' Mystery of Rennes-le-Chàteau documentary is now online on Upcott Studio's History and Mystery YouTube channel.
The 20-minute unedited interview with Stewart, filmed by Katia Milani, has a cameo by Pooch, Stewart and Katia’s much-missed (New Yorkie) terrier.
Stewart Ferris’ 2006 documentary The Mystery of Rennes-le-Château, which features L&C, is now available on Upcott Studio's History and Mystery YouTube channel. Written and presented by Stewart and produced by Katia Milani – both old friends of L&C – the film also includes interviews with the iconic Henry Lincoln and other Rennes-le-Chàteau researchers.
To watch, go to the History and Mystery channel.
Concluding their re-examination of the beliefs about the Merovingian bloodline that have become carved in stone, not just in alternative history circles but in conspiracy culture, in their latest feature for their Patreon patrons L&C take a fresh look at claims that one of France's national heroes was secretly part of that sacred line. And were its origins out of this world – literally?
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Lynn and Clive's The Sion Revelation – still in print two decades on!
Written at the height of Da Vinci Code mania, the book sets out their research into the secret society at the centre of Dan Brown's blockbuster, the Priory of Sion, asking if it is, as it claims, the guardian of ancient secrets or, as its critics maintain, a modern hoax? L&C's delving into the murky world of European esoteric societies found that the answers are far from simple – but still important and far-reaching.
L&C will be commemorating the book's second decade with updates on Patreon.
In the landmark instalment 100 of her memoirs, out today for her patrons on Patreon, Lynn tells how Fate gave her (a) the balls and (b) the way in to finally – finally! - contact her half-sisters in America and reveal that she exists.... Through hypnotherapy and a timely, if deeply callous attempted Facebook scam, she did it. Lynn was terrified she'd be rejected, of course - but she wasn't. Her sisters were, and are, incredibly warm and welcoming. After seven decades, the three sisters finally know and love each other.
None of it was easy. But it happened in a very curious way...
Thanks to L&C’s media agent Peter MacFarlane of MacFarlane Chard Associates for arranging the gig.
Details of the broadcast to follow when they’re known.
The 17th of January is a date – with a suitably arcane aura – which recurs throughout the mysteries centred on Rennes-le-Chàteau and that controversial secret society, the Priory of Sion. It’s said to commemorate a key event in the ‘holy bloodline’ theory: it was that day in 681 CE that Sigebert, son of Dagobert II – supposedly killed in the same conspiracy as his father – arrived in what is now Rennes-le-Chàteau, where he was given sanctuary (allegedly). However, historians not only maintain Sigebert’s secret survival is untrue, but that he never existed in the first place! So – bearing in mind his importance for the holy bloodline theory – in their latest Patreon feature L&C ask: what’s the truth about the fabled Sigebert IV?
L&C’s interview on When God Had a Wife with Technomancer Adam Nox is now available to view without registration on ‘The Cult of You’ podcast’s YouTube channel.
In the latest instalment of her memoirs, The Unchosen at Number 15, out today on Patreon, Lynn returns to one of the pivotal, and definitely weirder, experiences of her life:
‘I’d always assumed that my terrifying childhood vision, where a scary redhead told me (a) I was a Chosen One but then (almost immediately) (b) actually, no, I was the Wrong One, that it was obviously intended for me. But now I’m thinking there was nothing at all in that otherworldly encounter that was specifically about me. There were, though, plenty of links to Mum.... Yes, this everyday working-class northern woman had some very interesting sides to her character, including a secondary personality and a reported dream-state Drawing Down the Moon, which I later discovered to be an ancient pagan ritual. But along the way she was a monster, driving me - this huge, utterly miserable teenager - to the very brink of suicide...’
The new episode of The Anomaly Project podcast featuring L&C is now online. In ‘The Manipulation of Belief!’, they discuss The Stargate Conspiracy and The Templar Revelation with hosts Marcus Lowth and Steve Mera.
To watch, go to The Anomaly Project’s YouTube channel.
Among the many traditional celebrations at this time of year there’s one with a special resonance for those into ‘alternative’ history. The 23rd of December is the feast day of the king and martyr St Dagobert, whose death is key to theories revolving around a sacred bloodline and the controversial secret society, the Priory of Sion. As the coming year will see the 20th anniversary of L&C’s The Sion Revelation, which as usual they will be marking with update features, it seems a good time to revisit Dagobert’s story. But is there anything to it, or is this just another myth that’s taken on a life of its own?
The new feature is out today for L&C’s subscribers on Patreon.
As readers of Lynn’s memoirs know, her childhood was marred by some terrible things, sometimes otherworldly and sometimes only too real, but in the latest instalment, out today on Patreon, she takes time to look back in unashamed nostalgia to a time of innocent happiness at Christmastime.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!
It was huge fun, and a wide-ranging conversation, beginning with The Stargate Conspiracy before turning to their discoveries in The Templar Revelation – and, it goes without saying, how it inspired The Da Vinci Code. A big thanks, Marcus and Steve!
The episode will be on the Anomaly Project’s YouTube channel soon – watch this space...
In their latest 25th anniversary Stargate Conspiracy update, out today on Patreon, L&C describe how the mysteries of Mars, especially the Cydonia ‘monuments’, were brought into the ‘StarCon’, influencing and being influenced by the new vision of ancient civilisations – especially Egypt’s – which was capturing the popular imagination in the approach to the Millennium. All this appeared to reinforce the new belief system centred on the Council of Nine – but, as L&C showed, that was all part of a great deception.
So what light has been shed on the unfolding drama by the new information that has emerged since their book was published? And just how does remote viewing fit into the Mars investigation? There’s a twist in that tale – from the man who started it all….
The latest in Lynn’s memoirs, out today on Patreon, turns to a deeply personal area of her life:
‘Now, free from the tyranny of hormones, if I had the choice I’d never opt for being a mistress - the dreaded Other Woman. Yet over the years, I've found myself in that usually unenviable position, sometimes for years with the same man. But why? In this instalment I’m finally, excoriatingly, honest about this tricky subject, from both the ethical and practical points of view. Plus, there’s the creepy case of one lover from the 80s who is still obsessed with me (and not in a good way)....’
Among other famous events, Lynn discusses the wave of sightings in the 1960s that turned the market town of Warminster into a UFO hotspot.
L&C’s latest feature, out today on Patreon, continues their 25th anniversary updates to The Stargate Conspiracy.
In this, they turn to claims that artificial structures on Mars, most famously the ‘Face’, were discovered and surveyed not by space probes but by US intelligence’s remote viewers. Is there any truth to them?
Lynn introduces the latest instalment of her memoirs, The Unchosen at Number 15, out today on Patreon:
‘Regrets: I've had a few... and not just regrets. I've certainly had my fair share of drinks, usually in London’s most louche area, Soho. In this instalment I explore my feelings about those wild old days, and reveal some startling episodes in the lives of more famous drinkers, such as Peter O'Toole and John Hurt.’
The latest in L&C's Stargate Conspiracy 25th anniversary updates, delving further into remote viewing's part in the StarCon, is out today on Patreon.
The US Star Gate operation presented remote viewing as an objective, almost matter-of-fact process, untainted by the paranormal – let alone the mystical, supernatural or magical. That added apparent weight to claims that it had been used to make discoveries in Egypt and - especially - on Mars that backed up certain core claims of the StarCon. But as this feature shows, things aren't as simple as that. Not by a very long way...
Lynn particularly wants to thank Taurence Armstrong and Bobby Ganges at Prometheus Entertainment in L.A. for their continuing support and encouragement.
Also appearing are Nick Pope, Andrew Collins, Graham Phillips, Nick Redfern, David Clarke, and Hugh Newman, among others, with Robert Clotworthy, as usual, narrating.
The episode is scheduled for broadcast in the UK in November, on Sky History.
The latest instalment of Lynn's memoirs, out today on Patreon, tells how Lynn was literally two hours from death when a certain consultant surgeon came into work on a whim on his day off. Suddenly she was being operated on – and here she still is, 15 years later. Today, when she feels hard-done-by by life, she remembers that momentous day.
There's more about luck, health, allergies and intolerances – and the really, really bad luck that makes Lynn strangely light for her appearance....
Lynn and Clive's latest 25th anniversary update to The Stargate Conspiracy is out today on Patreon.
During their research for the book, claims emerged that some of the key – alleged – discoveries about Egypt and Mars that were being drawn into the Council of Nine scenario were made by a top-secret US government psychic spying programme with the evocative codename Star Gate. At the time there was little information to enable them to check the claims out, but over the last quarter of a century much more has been revealed about the 'psi-spy' operations. So, L&C ask, where does that leave the whole remarkable subject?
Continuing the 25th anniversary updates: With the New Millennium approaching ever faster, events at Egypt's Giza began to be portrayed as tantalisingly conspiratorial. At the same time, controversial new claims about the ancient civilisation, which had captured the imagination of millions, began to be brought together with the channelled teachings of the Council of Nine. In this feature, out today on Patreon, with new information that's emerged since the publication of The Stargate Conspiracy, L&C explore exactly how it all came together...
In the new episode of her memoirs, out today on Patreon, Lynn focuses on certain individual royals and muses on the magic of the monarchy. As she makes clear, her attitude towards the House of Windsor is complicated and not uncritical, but after the death of the utterly wonderful Katharine, Duchess of Kent, she thought she'd explain. (But she also tells the story of having to dash through the marching guardsmen in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace... or so she was told…)
Over a quarter of a century ago, L&C's The Stargate Conspiracy was published and immediately stirred up huge controversy. Now they revisit both the book's revelations and the furore they caused.
In this new feature for their subscribers on Patreon, they continue to trace how, as the Millennium approached, the various threads of the 'StarCon' were woven together - some of them scarily apocalyptic!
The latest instalment of Lynn's memoirs, The Unchosen at Number 15, is out today for her Patreon patrons.
In it she reflects on how she's learned the hard way that to be saved from disaster you have to be really, really up against it in the first place. And saved she has been, many times, usually at the very last minute. In fact, if a certain woman had been in when Lynn knocked on her door, her life in any real sense would have been over 60 years ago....
Between them they explore two of science's great unknowns: cosmology's 'missing' matter and energy, and the nature of consciousness. Building on insights from their friend and collaborator Sinziana Paduroiu, PhD, CHt, who as an astrophysicist and hypnotherapist encompasses both sides, they show how evidence is growing that the answer to both mysteries might well be found in the same place…
The features, in PDF format, are £3 each, plus VAT/sales tax where relevant.
The latest in L&C's 25th anniversary Stargate Conspiracy retrospective is out today for their subscribers on Patreon.
As the 1990s began, the Council of Nine drama entered its third act. After a second decade-long hiatus, their apostles began to broadcast their message again. In parallel, mysteries of the ancient past and humankind's place in the universe began to be collated into a seemingly single, apocalyptic scenario – but which, as revealed in The Stargate Conspiracy, was then used in a massive deception. Here, with new information from the last quarter century, L&C explore how the pieces of the puzzle were brought together to see what light it sheds on the still-unanswered questions...
The latest episode of The UnXplained with William Shatner is aired tonight on the History Channel in the US. It looks at scientists who pushed the boundaries of science to the edge of madness, taking them down strange, dark paths where they carried out bizarre and often unethical experiments involving mind control, animal-human hybrids and even torture.
As a contributor, Lynn delves into the dark world of the Nazi experiments and strange, Dr Frankenstein-like alchemists, besides many other examples of what, without hesitation, we'd all call mad scientists. Also appearing are Tony McMahon, A.J. Gentile of the Why Files podcast, historian Richard Brian Spence and science historian Alex Boese, among others. The show can be streamed on History and Amazon from tomorrow.
The latest instalment of Lynn's memoirs, out today on Patreon, rounds up her miniseries about big names she's met over the years, including rock stars and actors.... But you might just be surprised about her all-time favourite, who was never a performer - except of the most heroic and dramatic deeds....
Other contributors include investigative historian Tony McMahon, Andrew Gentile of the Why Files podcast, Professor of Folklore Lynne S. McNeill, and anthropologist Tok Thompson. The episode will be available for streaming on the History Channel and Amazon tomorrow.
In the latest episode of her memoirs, out today on Patreon, Lynn looks back on the extraordinary number of famous people – either nationally or even internationally – she's encountered over the years. But even more remarkable is that three of the big names she'd watched starstruck on TV in that shabby little room in Eldon Terrace, York, would figure largely in her life, for different reasons...
Lynn and Clive's latest 25th anniversary update feature to The Stargate Conspiracy, ‘Reflections in a Dark Mirror’, is out today on Patreon.
UFOs hardly featured in Stargate, just hovering in the background, as it were, of the Council of Nine affair. But after the book came out it was pointed out to L&C that one of the story's main characters had become extremely influential in the world of UFO research, especially in promoting a rather dubious variation of the alien contact scenario. They added something about that to the Update in the paperback edition, but their subsequent research uncovered much more...
The event, organised by Rev Canon Alyson Dunlop Shanes and Ron Halliday, will be held on Saturday, 6 June 2026, at Glasgow University’s Queen Margaret Union.
Lynn’s talk ‘The Unchosen at Number 15: From a Childhood Vision to The Da Vinci Code’, will present her story of being first, a ‘Chosen One’ and then the UnChosen One, thanks to a very scary visionary woman, and the extraordinary way Lynn eventually inspired the publishing phenomenon of the early 21st century.
For full details of the day and the other speakers, and to book, see the Symposium website.
The latest instalment of Lynn's memoirs is out today on Patreon. In it, she looks at the almost unbelievable shifts during her life, from her early years in the 1950s and 60s to today: from scratchy pen and ink to laptops; call boxes to smart phones; reference libraries to Google. But most dramatic of all has been the change in the law: once suicide was illegal; the last woman to be hanged in the UK was in the 60s and it was against the law to be a practising gay man until 1967.... All seen through the eyes of a once little girl from the near-slum of Eldon Terrace, York.
Lynn is featured in the latest episode of the show hosted by TV legend William Shatner, which goes out on the History Channel in the US. In it, she discusses Freemasonry and the notorious Hellfire Club of 18th century Britain.
The show covers the range of secret societies over the years, right up to the Mafia. Among the other contributors are writer and researcher Andrew Collins, Masonic historian and archivist Arturo de Hoyos, ex-mobster Michael Franzene and US attorney Edward McDonald. Rob O'Brien directs. The episode will be available on History Channel's streaming service and Amazon (US only) tomorrow.
To conclude the 30th anniversary retrospective of their first book, Turin Shroud: How Leonardo da Vinci Fooled History, in their new Patreon feature L&C turn to the incredibly ahead-of-its-time technique they believe he used to create the mystifying image on the Shroud: photography. How has that theory fared over the last three decades?
In the latest instalment of her memoirs for her Patreon patrons, Lynn looks back on her school experience way, way back in the 50s and 60s. How did a child from a deprived northern home cope with the elevation to a grammar school (an elite high school) after passing the all-important '11 Plus' exam? A strange, verbally violent and abusive time at home, but with school being something of a haven - apart from the campaign of persecution from her religious maniac of a head teacher...
The latest season of The UnXplained with William Shatner begins airing tonight on the History Channel in the US. Lynn appears in three upcoming episodes: 'Secret Societies' (20 June), 'Mysterious Urban Legends' (18 July) and 'Mad Scientists' (25 July).
The show goes out on Fridays at 9pm Eastern/8pm Central, and is available to watch on History's streaming channel and Amazon the next day. Hosted by Shatner, also the show's executive producer, The UnXplained is directed by Rob O'Brien for Prometheus Entertainment.
L&C's appearance on the MAD (Minds Against Dogma) podcast is now online. 'Da Vinci vs. Dogma' is a two-hour conversation with their old friend, astrophysicist and hypnotherapist Sinziana Paduroiu, PhD, CHt, of the multidisciplinary research hub QOOSP Lab, covering all things Leonardo but focussing on his trickster and heretical mindset – and his love of jokes. And there's a lot about his inventions besides, of course, his intimate connection with the Shroud of Turin.
Minds Against Dogma is a podcast by Sinziana and hypnotherapist Joe Tabbanella, produced by QOOSP Lab, which explores cosmology, quantum physics, consciousness and AI – and what connects them.
To watch, go to QOOSP Lab's YouTube channel – and please subscribe, as there's much, much more fascinating, undogmatic content to come...
In August last year – neatly coinciding with the 30th anniversary of L&C's first book, Turin Shroud: How Leonardo da Vinci Fooled History – there was a wave of interest in the media and on the Internet in the claims of a team of Italian scientists that they had shown the Holy Shroud is, after all, 2000 years old. Was that the end for L&C's theory? In their latest Patreon feature, they take a closer look at those claims...
In the new instalment, exclusively for her subscribers on Patreon, Lynn muses on the vexed subject of reincarnation. Is it truly fair and just? Is karma a flawed system? She shares her thoughts and doubts about her own apparent past lives - were they so flawed because she hated herself in this life? But then there's that one amazing dream of death by drowning and instant karma that she could never doubt...
In their new Patreon feature L&C continue their 30th anniversary retrospective of their landmark book Turin Shroud: How Leonardo da Vinci Fooled History.
In the first part they set out the very commonsense reasons why the supposed image of Jesus on the Turin Shroud just can't be genuine. However, those determined to 'prove' it really is Jesus' winding sheet, miraculously imprinted with his image, tend to ignore the obvious. Instead, they focus on minute, sometimes microscopic, details they say can't be reconciled with it being a work of human ingenuity. But do these details really undermine L&C's case for Leonardo's photographic genius?
To start things off, there are four features relating to their everlasting hero Leonardo da Vinci – after all, they owe their joint career to him:
Leonardo: Not the Messiah, but a Very Naughty Boy
Mona Lisa: In His Own Image?
The Mysteries of the Saviour of the World
The Million-Dollar Shroud Challenge (and Putting the Record Straight)
The features, in PDF format, are £3.50 each, except for the last which is £3, plus VAT/sales tax in relevant territories. For full details, see L&C's Patreon Shop page.
L&C’s first book, Turin Shroud: How Leonardo da Vinci Fooled History, is currently celebrating its 30th year in print – which makes them exceptionally proud. So they thought it only right they devote their 100th Patreon feature to it, especially as it coincides with Easter, when the Shroud always becomes particularly relevant. And for extra value, it's the same week as Leonardo's 573rd birthday on 15 April – so no excuses required for returning to where it all started.
In the first of their retrospectives, 'Da Vinci’s Still Laughing...', L&C detail their responses to the latest research and how it takes the story on.
In Lynn's latest instalment of her memoirs The Unchosen at Number 15, out today on Patreon, she looks at happenings in the surreality that passes for her life that might be called paranormal or mystical. Had all that completely fizzled out, just things of her long past, shadows from a disturbed childhood in number 15, Eldon Terrace, York? Well, no. Remarkable things have continued – some of the very highest strangeness…
L&C recorded an interview with their friend and collaborator Sinziana Paduroiu for the MAD (Minds Against Dogma) podcast, produced by her QOOSP Lab research hub, on their favourite subject – Leonardo da Vinci.
The podcast will be put out soon on QOOSP Lab's YouTube channel – watch this space!
In the latest feature in their 25th anniversary retrospective of The Stargate Conspiracy, out today on Patreon, L&C examine one of its most controversial aspects – which became considerably more significant after an event that changed the world. Among the highly contentious and divisive racial and religious ideas they discerned lurking behind the ostensibly 'love and light' message of the Council of Nine was a distinctly negative depiction of Islam and its followers. And L&C address another, connected question: in the pages of their book, did they, as some claim, predict 9/11?
The latest chapter in Lynn's memoirs is out today for her subscribers on Patreon. 'A Very British Sort of Madness' recounts an experience in one of London's gentlemen's clubs that could only happen in eccentric England.
The latest update to The Stargate Conspiracy is out today, exclusively for L&C’s patrons on Patreon.
Although the 1970s' plan to centre a new religion on the Council of Nine failed, as L&C revealed it was resurrected over a decade later during the countdown to the Millennium – but why? In their new feature, they look at how the Nine became rooted in the New Age through their most influential guru – and the reaction of his devotees to what they said about him...
A new book by photographer and folklore researcher Rob Wildwood, Magical France, which includes contributions and research by Clive, is out today.
A follow-up to Rob's acclaimed Magical Britain, it's a journey into France's sacred landscape, exploring its magical and mythical past through more than 500 sites, including those connected to Mary Magdalene, Black Madonnas, ancient goddesses and Celtic saints, as well as the mysterious otherworld of fairies, giants, dragons and water spirits. In addition to the stunning photographs, there's a detailed guide to the sites with accompanying maps, GPS coordinates, information on visiting and nearby attractions.
Magical France is published by Wild Things Publishing, and is available through the website of Rob's The Jelling Dragon, which produces handcrafted reproductions of Viking artefacts (as well as the usual outlets).
Lynn and Clive's latest 25th anniversary update feature is out today on Patreon.
With the second act of the Council of Nine drama ended by the mysterious arson attack on Lab Nine, L&C examine the evidence to find out what was really going on behind the scenes – and what it can tell us about the origins of the extraordinary plan they exposed in The Stargate Conspiracy...
The new season is set to air in the US on the History Channel in the summer.
At a time when we all need a bit of light relief, the new instalment of Lynn's memoirs, out today on Patreon, relates her and Clive's adventures up in The Wrong Sort of North (Lancashire, whereas she - of course - is a Yorkshirewoman). They went twice over the years, and both times were, inevitably, somewhat surreal...
In their latest exclusive Patreon feature, 'Into Darkness', L&C continue the story of the Council of Nine in the light of new information that's emerged since the launch of The Stargate Conspiracy in 1999. Does it change the picture, and can it shed light on some of the big remaining questions?
In this feature they revisit some very sinister and deeply disturbing events at the end of the 1970s that brought about the end of the second act of the Nine drama...
