As fortune would have it – I set off at about 6am on a fine summer’s day heading southward to meet up with Lucy Pringle and a few other cohorts to tour around some of 2009′s crop circles in Wiltshire.

I arrived at Silbury Hill (our meeting place) at 10:00 am on the dot to find it pouring with rain – nothing new there then! We all clambered into the least number of cars possible and set of for the first circle.

Which indeed was a circle unlike most others which can be described as crop patterns. Anyway this circle was pretty un-assuming as a 10 page trawl on Google didn’t find any reference to it!

Anyway the circle had two arms coming off at opposite ends and internally was split into f0ur sectors. The crops were flattened in such a way that they were matted – kind of like a checkers board. Strange thing was that opposite segments were thatched the opposing way so that the four sectors looked – dark – light – dark – light.

Ok – enough description – what about the dowsing…?

Well – the circle’s energy was much less than any stone circle I have visited. It had an entrance – which happened to be where our party entered. It had two power centres which were about ten feet either side of the entrance and some ten feet into the circle. Both the power centres and the circle itself were female energy. And that’s how far I got with that one before the group disembarked … a bit of a touristy bunch if you ask me.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention one thing. The circle had a diameter of about 60 meters and an aura which extended some 100 meters!

The above is the second circle we went to. Wow! It is quite near a road and easy to get to. The rain had eased off and so we spent some time in this one – thank the stars!

Ok, I asked if the whole circle itself had a power centreA place where a person of a particular alignmentAlignment relates to the concept that humans have their own energy fields that are oriented or formed in a specific way such that the person is either suited better to one energy source of another. Some people have their energy fields empowered by the direct subtle energy force of The Sun, whilst others are empowered by the indirect subtle energy of The Moon. Due to the historical associations and symbolisation of The Sun with masculinity and The Moon with femininity we designate these alignments as either being ‘male’ or ‘female’ alignments accordingly. We interchangeable refer to people as being ‘sun-aligned’ or ‘male-aligned’ and similarly with the female alignment. (see ‘Alignment’) feels particularly comfortable and empowered. The place is an energetic centre where a particularly beneficial combination and formation of energies is formed into a pattern that is harmonic with the person for whom it can be called a power centre. – yes! If you look at the pic above and start at the arm that has a missing ring. Using that as 1, count the arms left ways and when you get to arm 3 then using the centre circle as 1 count outwards 5 circles. in this circle, near one edge was the power centre of the whole thing!

How big is this CC? Well see the really tiny circles on the arms? those were about 5 ft wide!

I got a lot of info from this circle about the makers – hold on to your hats!!

• was this circle made by humans? no!
• was it made by aliens? yes
• are these aliens denizens of this planet – i.e. some kind of fairy type creature? no
• are these aliens from another planet? yes
• are they still here? yes
• do they live here now? yes
• did they use some machine to make these? yes
• did the machine use EMF? yes
• did this EMF propel the wind? yes

You have to understand that there were a lot of questions in between that I got “no”‘s to!

• is this crop circle of benefit to us? yes
• is it of benefit to the aliens? yes

And after this unbelievable exchange we were off to the next CC!

The Serpent God

Wow – what a crop circle this is…right by Silbury Hill. Here I spent some time finding energy paths through the paths that make up the pattern. I also confirmed the answers above for this circle too.

Note: It often happens that when Gwas and I are dowsing energy patterns at home or looking for energy entities – we come across some kind of mental barrier – as if the energies don’t want to be dowsed (anthropomorphising?) or that they have some kind of deflection around them – which means that – we will often just forget to dowse, or just do something else instead. Only to recall afterwards that we were “supposed to be dowsing”. We have been able to get round this on the 3rd/4th attempt by really “consciously” reminding ourselves to do it.

The reason I mention this is because at the circles I felt the same – a kind of lethargy towards wanting to dowse – I had to fight this a lot to get even the work above done. To this end Gwas and I intend to return to visit some crop circles in a week or two to garner further information.

On the above circle – there are a couple of really interesting things to note (from the point of view of its creation). Looking at the picture you see there is an outer circle – then a sort of semi circle – where the corn thins out in the middle of it and also another semi circle where the corn thins out at the outer points. When I was there – looking at these “thinning edges” they were really fine – I can’t see how they were made by some machinery of terrestrial origin!

It was quite nice wondering around this “serpent god” and dowsing was left aside as the sun revealed itself and we took the time to just enjoy being out and about.

Is it a Real crop circle?

From the above crop circle – which was on a hill – we spied another about a mile away. During the trip so far I had made a new friend in the person of one Hanna, from Finland. Together we decided to go and examine this crop circle.

Along the road we got a bit confused as to which path to take that would lead us to the circle – fortunately the rods did a good job of directing us. So it was about half an hour later we were at the circle we spied. It was laid out like a paired yin/yang design…

As Hanna and I walked up to the circle we found that a couple of our fellow tour groupies were returning from it – they had not been impressed and thought that this one was a fake! We carried on to see for ourselves. Hanna – who had spoken with our tour leader about it earlier had said that Lucy considered it to be genuine.

According to the picture we arrived either from the left or right along the middle track. I could see immediately why the other members had put it down as a fake. Although it looks quite clean cut from the air – take a look at this picture from the ground (all are on this website where they claim that this one is real!).

Can you see how the crop is lifting up and also the edges are not smooth? If you visit the link above you can go to the site this image was taken from and see a much larger view as well as other pics.

A lot of the crop in the “flattened” area was not as flattened as the other circles we had visited. Hmmm…As Hanna wandered over to go and speak to/observe a group of people meditating – I did some dowsing.

• Was this crop circle made by aliens? No
• Was it made by humans?Yes
• Is this then a fake crop circle?Yes

Er…what else is there to say? Hanna returned and I informed her of my findings, she was half convinced from the layout of the crop. But I could see she was still leaning towards wanting to agree with our tour leader, Lucy. I had given Hanna a quick lesson in dowsing up on the serpent and she had proved quite skilful – so I handed her the rods and said “Check for yourself“. I lay basking in the sun whilst she wandered back and to with the rods, occasionally shaking her head. Finally she returned to where I was sat and dropped the rods at my feet, “its fake” she said in her Finnish tinged accent – with some disappointment. I shrugged and we both walked away feeling a bit cheated. On the way down Hanna bumped into a person who had spoken on crop circles a week ago at a symposium she had attended in Glastonbury – as she passed him by she shouted, “Don’t bother. Its a fake” – She had become a believer in dowsing intuition!

All in all, quite a good first trip to crop circle land. Definitely requires one or two more trips. Also there are many more questions to be asked…particularly around the “why” of these as well as whether there is any relevance to “all” the crop circle <-> 2012 connection(s).

Stay tuned!

PS – you should see some of the images and article on the site linked above…for example here is another image close-up of the crops in another (2008) crop circle…

Compare the “flat-ness” of the crops in both these pics – clearly the bottom one has more foundation for being a true CC. Maybe the Yin/Yang one was made with a blunted alien machine?

PPS – Aliens?

Saw an article today about one of the latest crop circles in Wiltshire which suggested it might be a sigil in terms of the way it is designed. An interesting idea. Another site suggested a form of calender or time-based interpretation. Already this year’s designs are provoking thought and allowing us a view of something wonderfully confusing: what do they all mean as a phenomenon? Well, hopefully in a few months Kal and I will have a go at working that out along with everyone else as we dowse some circles ourselves.

In the meantime we’ll have to content ourselves with this month’s circle gallery on CropCircleConnector.

Following the yellow crop spirals.

When we started dowsing Kal and I both followed Sig Lonegren’s beginners method of attuning the rods for reactions to energy phenomena: we trained a ‘YES’ response to be the rods crossing in an ‘X’ shape, and a ‘NO’ to be no reaction at all, with the rods pointing straight out away from you.

As time moved on we found we needed to program a new response: rods pointing 90 degree outwards left and right meant a boundary’s edge had been found. This was useful for finding the edges of the fields of influence from standing stones, stone circles, and of trees.

Once confident with the reactions you have programmed it is possible to extend the vocabulary as you interpret the speed and strength of the movements of the rods. You also begin to recognise that there is not always a Yes or No answer to a question. If you have asked a question in such a way as the answer cannot be given apprehended, then you may get no reaction. If the answer is emphatically Yes or No then the rods swing outwards or inwards strongly. Inwards and spiralling slowly round means “Absolutely, definitely. ‘yes’.” Or you have found a very strong energy lineThe direction energy takes when moving. It may be straight or curved, in several dimensions and be composed of one or more different types of energies, i.e. negative, positive or neutral. Energy lines can be found at standing stones and ancient sites but are a general feature in all energy fields.. Rods that splay outwards in reaction to a Yes/No question mean “a most definite ‘no’.”

“Hold on! Your sign for ‘definitely no’ is the same as the one for ‘show me a boundary’! Ha – inconsistent!”

Well spotted, my eagle-eyed friend, but not quite an inconsistency. It depends on the questions you’re asking. When you’re asking for a boundary, you get the boundary reaction if there is one, or you get no reaction at all. If you are asking a ‘Yes or No’ question then that same reaction means ‘definitely no’. Different types of questions, see? The answers don’t get confused. Sure, we could re-program it if we needed to, but really we’re quite comfortable with the difference. Anyway.

Sometimes the rods move together slowly, barely crossing. This is a tentative positive reaction which we intepret as, “Maybe, but try a more specific question.” or “Along the right lines.” These responses, whilst initially doubtful and puzzling often yield great results which can then be confirmed by simple dowsing techniques. They invite you on and make the investigation interesting.

Moel-Ty-Uchaf

That, we felt, was enough to work with to achieve a great amount of information from any site we visited. Then we went back to Llandrillo, armed with our new toolkit for dowsing, all fired up and confident in our abilities, but also always ready to be surprised by the unexpected responses.

Nothing had prepared us for one of the responses though. Kal had been walking towards the circle asking “can we use the power centers for spiritual transformation?” , as this was what he had dowsed as one of the purposes of the circle and its energies.

As he walked forwards he got a reaction from the rods that he hadn’t had before: the left rod swivelled right to point inwards at 90 degree, whilst the right rods stayed rigidly forwards-facing and straight, unmoving. He repeated this effect many times before stopping, then calling me over to ask the same question. I hadn’t been watching Kal, as I was intently pre-occupied with my own questioning of the circle’s perimeter. I repeated the question and walked forwards towards the circle too. I got the same odd reaction! However, I felt that there was more to it, because the left-hand rod began to curl beyond its right-angled position as I swayed forwards. I walked forwards again – the left-hand rod continued to move towards me, stopping as it was pointing at me. Very un-nerving.

Lucy Pringle

I recently read one of Lucy Pringle’s dowsing experiences in a crop circle in Wiltshire with her friend Keith Wakelam. They were dowsing in a field near Avebury Trusloe when this happened to Keith, a experienced dowser:-

Going out and coming back the rods performed in a way he had never previously experienced; they pointed straight at him and he felt very uncomfortable as though he was “being drained of his essential life force”.
I then took his rods and walked down and back along the same tramline. My rods also behaved in a novel way (to be repeated in certain other formations during the season), the rod in my left hand pointing towards the lane and the right hand rod spinning violently first clockwise, stopping and reversing its direction. It continued to do this until I came back to the centre. Keith remarked that I looked like some sort of mini helicopter about to take off! My compass, when placed in the centre, had oscillated wildly for some considerable time, but eventually it came to rest. I then stood in the centre whilst Keith walked around the first spiral; every 45 degrees his rods changed polarity. It seemed to indicate that there was some sort of dynamo effect; alternating negative\positive energy, such as the ancients introduced when building their complex stone structures in bygone days, thereby generating their own energy source.

Swings and Roundabouts: Lucy Pringle (1997)

I can sympathise with how they felt at that moment. You had written a dictionary, and someone came along with a new word that you didn’t recognise, and you have to guess its meaning from the context of the word. How can you reverse-engineer a code like that? An endless ‘Yes/No’ questioning session? Educated guesses? Do you seek more correlations? How can you make it happen again? Does it mean anything at all?

As we dowse more sites, and draw their energy maps as best we can, elaborating with each visit, we are starting to generate another vocabulary which adds a new dimension to our store of knowledge with which to make better guesses. The positive and negative polarity changes that Lucy and Keith experienced at the crop circle are reminiscent of Kal’s findings at Bryn Celli Ddu on Anglesey island. Kal found alternating sections of male and female energy bands that circled the inner mound.

It’s a wide leap to make from correlating such a finding to determining the purpose of this sort of configuration of energies. A dynamo effect, possibly, but how is it activated or used? And what relation does that energetic formation have to the energies that exist at those sites irrespective of whether a crop circle forms there or not? Sadly, we have no readings for a before and after case where crop circles are concerned, but we do have our own experiences at Moel-Ty-Uchaf circle to go on. When we sat on our respective power centres we were able to get the energy reacting to us, and we managed to make the energies spin in a clockwise direction. Is that how these energies are ‘fired up’. How do they work from then on? To what purpose? Soon, I feel, we may learn.

I read recently that someone had tried successfully to manifest a crop circle in the grass of their garden. Well now. There’s a challenge! I’ll give it a go and report back over the next week. Saves waiting until Summer 2009!
