What are these mysterious earthworks with reference to sacred geometry and archetypal symbols – symbols so huge that you can only see the image from the air? I’m not talking about the hoaxes – guys with a board and string that have tried to debunk the whole phenomena. Yes, they exist too, but they are detectable and not as complex as the real deal. Are they messages from above, from another planet, or from below, earth’s energy, tapping into the collective unconscious? Whatever! It’s fascinating!
In 2006, a friend and I went to England specifically to see and experience them. I was worried that perhaps we wouldn’t see any after making this special trip but that was not an issue – I saw 9 while there, and more were popping up overnight. We went to Wiltshire County where the largest concentration was. The Barge Inn in Alton Barnes, was “crop circle central,” and had a large map updated with the latest sightings. But before we even got there, we spotted a formation of large intersecting circles just off the highway. We walked through the site completely awestruck, and at one point I laid down in savasana, a resting yoga pose, to let go and soak up the incredible energy from the vortex.
I flew over the area in a microlight plane to get the full visual impact. My pilot, Tony, recounted several experiences of flying over an area, and 30 minutes later seeing a formation where none had existed before. He also pointed out a field that had been harvested, yet the ghost of the crop circle was still visible from above.
The crops are not cut or destroyed, but are gently laid down and whirled from a central vortex. Some visitors claim to feel energy within the formations and scientists have detected changes in the cellular structure of the crop. They are often sited over ley lines, energetic paths that run underneath the earth’s surface, and close to Neolithic sites such as Stonehenge and Avebury.
Here are some crop circles that I photographed from the plane, plus a close-up of walking through a circle.
Some links to sites with the latest crop circles:

Glen,
I’m looking for this to make the 60 minutes show (if it hasn’t already!)

The main stream news ignores the entire phenomena. Just like supression of UFO sightings, the powers that be are afraid of mass histeria or something…..

Hi Glen, What a fantastic experience for you.
I have been to a few crop circles. Always as a spiritual accompanist with a small group of extra sensitive people, including one who could see the path of energy ascending from the circle into the cosmos, to use a Carlin term. At one circle in eastern Wash., which was still fresh – only 5 hours, I was able to see it too. It was like a narrow tunnel, a tornado in reverse, in a different value from the rest of the sky.
During years of research I found that energy is often expressed in terms of color. What I find interesting about your art reflecting the crop circles, is your use of deep red to express it. Why ? And the scene is a view from the sky toward the land and the circle. My crop circle experience was entirely focused in the opposite direction…up. So I looked again at your art and then as a geologist I was able to see the fissures in the earths crust and the molten lava beneath.
I´m being a bit simplistic, but I would like a bit more of a clue as to what the red slashes mean. Mick

Hi Mick,
In the painting, “Secrets in the Field” (the title borrowed from a book on crop circles by Freddy Silva), I was attempting to emanate the energy swirling around the field, thus the curving lines and arcs. It was the energy I was painting -perhaps an earthy energy stirred up by the process – not so much the formation in the crop. At that point in my painting, I was very much dedicated to using earth tones – warm ochres, orange, reds, umbers, black. (I’ve since added blues to my palette :)) Today, I might approach it differently but that’s the artist’s perogative. I paint from the heart, vs the head, and rarely know what will emerge when I approach the canvas. But I was very happy with this piece and felt it captured a certain essence of energy.
Thanks for sharing your experiences in the crop circles – that sounds awesome to see the energy path.
