Welcome to the Association for Skeptical Enquiry (ASKE)

ASKE is a UK based organisation that looks at, and sometimes investigates, paranormal and pseudoscientific claims. In essence we promote a scientific approach to such claims and expose them to the searchlight of reason. So far we haven't found any scientific basis for telepathy, psychokinesis, UFOs, astrology, dowsing, speaking with the dead or in fact any of the numerous varieties of extraordinary claims made by so many in the UK today. That's not to say such things definitely do not exist but some of us are so convinced that we are prepared to offer a cash prize to anyone who can prove a psychic claim under proper observing conditions. Please feel free to look around our site and if you would like to help then please join us or make a donation.

Universal Awareness: A theory of the Soul. 17th December 2011

I have written a book entitled Universal Awareness: A Theory of the Soul.

The ASKE Psychic Challenge now stands at £14,000. This is open to anyone in the United Kingdom who claims to have psychic ability.
The Skeptical Intelligencer is our annual publication. Originally conceived by its first editor Wayne Spencer, it aims to publish high quality articles. The current editor is our very own chairman Mike Heap.
The Skeptical Adversaria is ASKE's quarterly newsletter that is now edited by Mike Heap. The Newsletter is deliberately informal in tone and gives all our members a chance to air their views. It helps to keep members updated about what's happening in the UK.
Help fight pseudoscience and promote skepticism

We need your help! ASKE is still a comparatively small organisation and is always on the lookout for new members. As well as those who are just happy to receive our publications and give their moral support we also need members who are willing to play an active role in promoting our aims and principles. This could include appearing in the media (including TV and radio) or writing an article for the Adversaria or or even helping to test psychic claimants.
