very summer, a variety of people interested in crop circles gather from all over the world in
the Wiltshire area of England. They have been described as "a tribe returning," and many
report experiencing a special bonding with each other. Most are drawn by the mystery and scope
of this phenomenon, the curiosity, the jolting absurdity of these lovely designs of such magnitude
suddenly appearing overnight in farmers' crop fields. A single circle can measure from twenty
inches to a few hundred feet in diameter. Long pictograms composed of circles, rings, keys and
other design elements have stretched over fields for cross roads and continue in other fields,
although they incorporate the road in the design rather than sprawl haphazardly from one field
to another.
Crop circles are mind-boggling to many people, especially since these designs are beautifully
wrought, contain varying kinds of energies and provide a variety of effects on people, animals
and equipment. Their mystique tantalizes many people. Mystery has a way of sparking people's
interest and even devotion. Mystique has been used by shamans throughout history to draw
people in and to bring them to greater realizations. People wonder why these crop circles are
occurring, by whom and how they are made, and why they are appearing now and in such
numbers. They wonder why they show up in some fields, geographic areas and countries, and
not others.
Imagine you are driving up to the entrance of the Barge Inn on a balmy July evening in rural
southern England. It's still twilight; and the stars are just appearing. You are about to enter
another world. The Barge, Inn, an unprepossessing little pub at the' end of a dead-end road in
Honey Street, next to Alton Barnes, Wiltshire County, is the gathering place for crop circle
enthusiasts, or croppies, from allover the world. This is a central information source for news
about the spotting of new crop circles as well as a haven for .the irresistible urge to share-and to
mirror-the experiences of physically entering the formations.
If you enter the backroom, immediately your eye is caught by a map of southern England pinned
on the wall and covered with colored stickers showing the locations of the season's crop circles.
As reports of the new crop circles are tracked, veterans remember the crop circles made in the
same or nearby fields in past years, and plans are made for visiting them, meditating in them
and recording them to scale with drawings, surveys and. computer graphics. As the
conversations ebb and flow nearby, you hear tantalizing fragments, about intuitions received
during meditations, the effects of the energies on dowsing rods and batteries, and what it feels
like to stand in a new crop circle and know at the core of that being that no human could have
created such miraculous constructions. Unfamiliar or possibly
familiar terms strike your ears, such as Fibonacci spirals, fractals, Mandelbrots, the
Golden Mean, vortices, synchronicities and other terms of mythology and sacred geometry. And
over and under and through all the words spoken in several accents and languages, you can
pick up the feelings of excitement, awe and curiosity about the crop circles and their makers,
whether the speakers are on their first or twentieth visit.
Welcome to the world of crop circles, one of the most tantalizing phenomena in our world today.
It is difficult not to be captivated by their beauty and complexity and by the questions and issues
they provoke, including the query that becomes more pressing every, day: What other intelligent
life forms are out there trying to communicate with us? What are their intentions? What is the
communication system between them, the Earth and humanity? Consider this: Groups of
croppies have meditated together on visual patterns and projected the intention that crop circles
would be made, of those images. And that has happened. What do events like that do to our
world view? Send to our view of the cosmos?
We, Barbara Lamb and Judy Moore, felt impelled to gather together information available on
crop circles, especially those in southern England that Barbara has been visiting for ten years
and that captivated Judy before her visit in the summer of 1999. It is impossible to ignore the
synchronicity of the proliferation of crop circles near Stonehenge, Silbury Hill and other ancient
sacred sites. We wanted to share with you the awe, the anticipation, the passion, the reverence,
the beauty, the questions, the theories, the comraderie of the cropples, the pictures.…
The information in this book has come from many sources, human and otherwise. Unfortunately,
we have lost track of some of the sources of our information over the years. We would hear a
theory about a crop circle and it felt right intuitively, so we incorporated it. Several years and
many crop circles later we might have forgotten who first stated that point of view, at what
convention or on what evening sitting in the' Barge Inn or in a crop circle after a meditation;
Many ideas grew synergistically from what we would consider group consciousness; and often it
has been difficult to give credit to anyone individual. We apologize to anyone who recognizes
that he or she is the, original source of a fact or idea and we did not provide accurate
acknowledgment. Please contact us so we can provide more accurate information in later
editions of this book.
