There is a natural overlapping between the two areas of dowsing and crop circles. It is almost inevitable that dowsers would use their skills and sensitivities to try to determine the validity of claims concerning the creation of circles and to map their energy patterns.
My interest in crop circles only got awakened very recently. I was at Bryn Celli Ddu in Anglesey when I met an Australian guy who had travelled the world looking at ancient sites. He was very interested in the dowsing Kal and I were doing. When we chatted he discussed many esoteric topics but stated that I should re-consider crop circles as a phenomenon, rather than dismiss them all as a hoax.
And so the search begins for real circles.
My first stop was Michael Glickman’s book “Cornography: New Swirled Order“. I just liked the title, and the style of the book, it being a download of his blog material. Turns out he’s quite a well-know figure “in these circles” (couldn’t resist that one). I’ve been reading it avidly and can feel his passion for the subject, and his hatred of detractors. In the book he mentioned a video which purports to be a real-life early morning capture on film of white orbs flying around forming a crop circle. Glickman is positive that the video is not a hoax.
So, I go and look it up on the web. The only video I can find, Oliver’s Castle, includes the word “hoax” at the end of the title. Oh! Then you start reading the reports of the Crop Circle Connector group. They also now admit it was a hoax. Tell you what, though, it’s very well done! I was convinced on first viewing, but several things don’t stack up: a) The orbs don’t fluctuate in size with changes in distance, and b) at one point they appear semi-transparent as they fly away across the field. Hmmm. Why?
Other searches reveal a Dutch scientist who postulates the theory that, if the circles are made by orbs which dispense microwave energies onto the crops then they circles should show signs of reacting strongly to the energies near the centre, with a reduction in that effect further out. Indeed, he seems to prove that this is the case by measuring the amount of swelling in the stalks, and this seems to coincide with his theory.
One aspect that I find interesting is the number of recent circles that display aspects of Mayan design concepts, as though hinting at the Mayan Calendar with its 2012 end date. Personally, I am less convinced by circles that appear to have designs that are so human-related. However, they form beautiful patterns that may make people think about the subject at least.
Another aspect that is significant particularly to dowsers is the continuing use, and indeed progressive complication of crop circles that utilise the principles of sacred geometry in their design. Perhaps there is something fundamental about these sacred number sequences and mathematical relationships that signify something of import – I just wish I knew what! Sacred geometrical patterns and numeric relationships are abundant at sacred sites. When the concept of the Megalithic Yard is considered too, then interesting proportions emerge from the measurement of stone circles, cromlechs, standing stones and other geomantic sites. “Think fractal.”
So, the next step for Kal and I in relation to crop circles is to ensure that we are available to visit some when they start appearing in Wiltshire in the Summer of 2009. We already have a rigorous list of questions designed to reveal useful information from sites, so let’s add crop circles to the list and see whether they stack up with other earth energy areas. I draw the line at sleeping in a field waiting for the orbs though!
Gwas.
Follow your path in a spiral to the centre.
I absolutely agree ‘no sleeping in fields’ !! Also by that time our ‘questions’ will be more molded too. As a note though – we must look at ‘some’ aspects with a more wary eye. As before the hoax discovery we were discussing the ‘odd’ features as interesting…and now we discuss them as ‘ahhh’ i wonder why its like that. – Kal
