Simon's obscure pages

Welcome to my obscure page. Here I intend to indulge myself by publishing a number of articles centred on my hobby; that is obscure groups and movements. These can be religious, political, fraternal, therapeutic or something else, or even involve a mixture of any of the above. All articles will be subjected to constant review and updated whenever I find extra material to add.

On this page you will find links to my articles which will hopefully grow in number over time. I would warmly welcome any correspondence on these and related subjects (plus any corrections, complaints, or even compliments). Please e-mail me at the address below.
