Andrewans
The Andrewans are a group of people who identify as Andrewans, a term that has been used in various contexts throughout history. The term "Andrewan" is derived from the name Andrew, which is of Greek origin and means "manly" or "brave." The Andrewans are often associated with the Andrewan Society, a secret society that was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The society was founded by Andrew Jackson Davis, a former Confederate soldier, and was known for its esoteric beliefs and rituals. The Andrewans believed in a secret history of the world, including the existence of a lost civilization called Atlantis, and they practiced various forms of divination and spiritualism. The Andrewan Society was eventually disbanded in the 1920s, but the term "Andrewan" has continued to be used in various contexts, including in the name of a modern-day secret society and in the title of a novel by Robert A. Heinlein. The Andrewans are also sometimes associated with the Andrewan Cross, a symbol that is often used by the Andrewan Society and other groups that identify as Andrewans. The Andrewan Cross is a stylized cross that is said to represent the power of the mind and the ability to harness the forces of nature.
