Quite apart from a strong feeling of global changes afoot that have been growing in me for some time, it is interesting to note how this sense of change also seems to be running through the various schools of religious teachings, I have very little to report. I thought I would send you one of the stories I wrote about a friend*. It is taken from my book The Energies of Crop Circles: The Science and Power of a Mysterious Intelligence (available on my website).
To my great surprise, I found that I was already talking about a subtle change of energy, evident in the crop circle phenomenon, back in 2011. Our world is in a constant state of movement, but this movement can sometimes lead to greater and more urgent upheaval. Were the crop circles the harbingers of a more noticeable change on a global level?
We seem to forget that the Earth is a living, breathing life force, far more sensitive and in tune with the cosmos than we will ever be. As evidenced by scientist, environmentalist, and futurist James Lovelock, his Gaia hypothesis suggests that “the Earth is a self-regulating system, like a giant organism.”
Maybe it could be argued that the circles were subtle precursors, bringing new and sometimes challenging energies to those listeners to whom they spoke. They opened windows of understanding and delved into new areas of learning, leapfrogging us from metaphysics, geometry, and music to theology, art, symbolism, and encoded messages. Above all, these messages came from the heart, reminding us that we are small players in a far greater cog.
“A Subtle Change – June 2011 - from the Energies of Crop Circles
There seems to be a subtle change of energy in the crop circle arena that I have been detecting over the past few years. It is hard to put one’s finger on this elusive element, ebbing and flowing as it does in all directions.
On a more fundamental level, I get the feeling that for many people, a crop circle visit has become a "must-do" item on their list of experiences. It is hard to judge how many find this a rewarding experience. Were they seeking something specific? How many will return, or was it just a one-off?
Certainly, as we entered 2011, I believed this would be a transformative year in the crop circle theatre, just as life-changing events were happening all over the planet. Focusing on the final good that will emerge from these events is of the essence.
On a microcosmic scale, the 1987 hurricane in England cut through great swathes of our landscape, destroying age-old trees and forests. While it brought despair, the startling new growth that followed transformed our landscape with unforeseen benefits and beauty.
“A Jet Taxiing in My Head”
Health reports were fewer in 2011 than in previous years, but the quality of some was outstanding. The first formation of significance appeared overnight on 17th June in Hampshire, at Cow Drove Hill, above the picturesque village of King’s Somborne. Villager Keith Hibbige, the first to enter the formation, kindly alerted me.
Cowdrove Hill, King’s Somborne, Hampshire
Of primary significance was the fact that it had been raining that night. Yet, despite the muddy field, there was no trace of mud on the fallen crop, as revealed by Keith’s excellent images (sadly mislaid at present). When walking along a muddy tramline, one inevitably collects soil on the soles of one’s shoes, and this would translate into clear signs of mud on the fallen crop.
Having flown over the formation, I visited it a few days later. Keith was kindly waiting for me. Before my arrival, he had sent me some strange reports. He initially visited the formation for just 20 minutes on the morning of Saturday, 18th June. Whilst inside, he felt disoriented. Then, driving home afterward, he noticed his brain was focusing on anything circular, such as 30 mph signs.
“That afternoon, my head and face felt a burning sensation,” he reported. Indeed, his wife remarked on the redness of his face and neck. He also shared: “I’ve never had headaches, but I felt nauseous, and the tinnitus I had became so overpowering that by Monday, it felt like a jet taxiing in my head. This went back to normal after a few days.”
The following day (Sunday), he also suffered “the most violent diarrhoea, which lasted until the afternoon. The visions of circles were with me until Monday morning. Whilst inside the formation, I experienced a loss of direction and confusion.”
He went on to say, “I have been in several circles before but had no aftereffects such as these.”
Keith was diagnosed with cancer in 2005 but is now in remission. He is on a number of medications.
It has been suggested that Keith could have been suffering from “histamine dumping.” The most common symptoms of histamine intolerance include migraine headaches, gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhoea, flushing, hives, and eczema. Histamine, a chemical mainly present in mast cells, is released during an allergic reaction. It affects two types of receptors, H1 and H2, causing swelling and redness. The airways narrow in the lungs, which can lead to breathing difficulties. Additionally, acid production in the gut may result in diarrhoea, and there can be a degree of itchiness.
She Could Stand on One Leg
Accompanied by Christina Thistlethwayte, I visited the formation on the morning of 20th June, having received the farmer’s permission. Christina, who was suffering from Polymyalgia rheumatica — a debilitating inflammatory muscular condition — had been reluctant to come as she found walking difficult and painful. I eventually persuaded her by saying it would be a lovely drive, even if she didn’t go into the circle.
Keith Hibbige was there to meet us, and we all walked into the circle, Christina going slowly with her walking stick. There were several people already in the circle, and as always, I fell into conversation with them while examining the lay of the crop.
I knew it was too long after the event to make any firm physical diagnosis, but I had Keith’s photographs, which were proof enough for me. We must have been in the circle for quite some time when I suddenly looked up and noticed the sky was getting dark and threatening. Having spotted a nice pub in the village, we decided to head back to the car.
As Christina was getting in, she turned to me and said, “I’ve got to tell you that all the pain has gone.” I was amazed. But, remembering past occasions, I mentioned that it was unlikely to be permanent and, if it continued for 36 hours, she would be doing well.
After a good lunch, I dropped Christina home. Just as I was about to drive away, she suddenly stood on one leg and raised her knee to just below her chin. She then repeated the action with her other leg. I couldn’t believe my eyes. On returning home, I tried it myself.
I suggest you all try it too. I am fit, playing tennis and walking regularly, and I found it easy. But I realized that not everyone could do this, especially someone suffering from the cripplingly painful polymyalgia rheumatica!
The following morning, when I went to my car, I found Christina’s walking stick. Knowing she had a much-dreaded funeral in London that day, which involved a ten-minute walk from the church to the reception afterward (something Christina had said was impossible for her), I rushed to return it, only to find, to my horror, that she had already left.
I telephoned her that evening. She told me she had found her walking stick upon returning home. When I asked her how on earth she had managed, she gaily replied, “Oh, I was absolutely fine, and it was more than a ten-minute walk to the reception!” She was still free of all pain.
This continued for 96 hours before the pain returned. This is just one of many temporary healing effects that have happened over the years.”
We had a curious storm this morning. All of a sudden is was a black as night with swirling wind and the loud noise of hail. it was all quite ferocious! It went as quickly as it came thank goodness.
For quite some time, I have felt as though the Universe has sped up quite noticeably and that we are being swept along as though we are being tossed around in a tumble dryer. Sudden, unexpected events—globally as well as personally—are taking us by surprise, knocking us back. There comes a point when this has to stop for our own well-being and to deal with our daily obligations. So how do we set about it?
On a global level, when we realize that we are not really part of it personally but just an observer, we can begin to readjust ourselves and start to concentrate on our own lives and the lives and needs of other people. In a word, distance yourself, and if you can, move forward projecting normalcy, calm, and positivity. More and more people now refuse to read a newspaper or listen to the news. We cannot ignore it completely, nor should we. Burying our heads in the sand does not help anyone.
However, on a personal level, this is not so easy, but at such times, we may not realize that help is often at hand—and from unexpected quarters. The rest of the world has not stopped; it is continuing with its daily tasks, and we too can play our individual, useful parts in so many different ways. I am a great optimist. I feel, in a way, that I am on an obstacle course and have to experience all sorts of difficulties before I reach the finish. Try not to lose heart on the way, and indeed, help can appear out of the blue and in so many different and unexpected ways.
The Seven-Planet Alignment
I am showing you various images of this unique planetary alignment below. As we focus on this event, our minds are set in motion to consider further implications.
Not one, not two, but seven planets are due to line up in the night sky later this week in a relatively rare planetary parade—for the last time until 2040—with some of the planets visible to the naked eye.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14437797/Rare-planetary-parade-night-sky.html
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14437797/Rare-planetary-parade-night-sky.html
I asked David Olliff, a friend and polymath, to express this remarkable event in his own terms; he kindly sent me the following:
“I have enjoyed some backyard astronomy over the years, so it was intriguing to see the seven-planet alignment this week. Mercury will join Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in splendid alignment on February 28th, something that won’t happen again until 2040. It’s easy to forget, of course, that there is one more planet that must be part of this alignment if it is going to mean anything from our point of view: our own planet, Earth.
“However well-versed we are in Copernican cosmology, we still have a tendency to see our own position as the center of everything, as though we are a fixed point and everything revolves around us. It’s natural, of course, and not something to feel bad about. Our solar system isn’t geocentric, no matter how much it seems that way; our lives are not egocentric, no matter how much we would like them to be.
“An alignment like this is a matter of profound beauty. Planets, silently tracing their course through space—they do not, it turns out, move through nothing. There is no ‘nothing.’ Instead, they move through darkness without form, sailing perhaps as gentle ships through a sea that knows nothing of waves. When we sense such profound beauty, it often comes to us with that feeling I think of as ‘the trace.’ It is that remnant, that moment when all that may be said is silent, that sense that the universe is trying to tell us something.
“All that the trace can say is that there is something yet unsaid. All that the trace can show is that the trace is there to be found. How then should we respond to the sacred trace at times of wonder like these?
“Sense the trace and feel it through your whole self. Take the time to notice it. Remember it. Let the trace radiate and amplify within and through you. It is possible not just to witness the sacred trace in the beauty of things in the world around you; you are not a fixed point witnessing a world arrange itself before you. You are not merely in this universe or of this universe—you are this universe. You need not quest for the trace if you choose to live as and be the trace. In this way, when the planets align themselves, you may place yourself in alignment with the planets.”
We are at the beginning of March, and the shackles of winter have officially fallen away as we enter meteorological spring! What a gloriously liberating feeling. Begone, icy fingers of winter!
In the UK, the fields are still brown, with few signs of green appearing as yet. However, as we have been blessed with several days of hot sun, this all may change in the blink of an eye—so remains the same question we always ask: What does this year hold for us? Will there be early delights, heralds of more wonders to come? Who knows?!
Oliver’s Castle, near Devizes, Wiltshire. 15 April 2007
There is little doubt that winter has arrived. As I write I can look outside and see the frost on the bushes and grass gleaming like jewels in the pale watery sunlight.
The birds are flocking to the feeders hanging outside. Sometimes several land at once as the feeders have several places where seeds are available. There are seldom any squabbles but the tits seem to rule the roost. I have had as many as six goldfinches all at the same time. I also have several members of the tit family, Blue tits. Coal tits, great tits and very occasionally a family of long tailed tits who always fly in a family group, swoop down and arrive for just a moment before flying off again. They are very hard to photograph as they are in and out like a flash. On the other hand the finches like to take their time! Occasionally a nuthatch arrives; they are one of the neatest birds with beige waistcoats. Robins have learnt how to perch and are also regular visitors.
I was told an interesting story recently from someone flying his fully charged drone over a circle which appeared in between Bramdean and Petersfield late last summer. He launched his drone over the circle but watched with dismay as it slowly discharged and fell to the ground. Worse was to follow as the normally fail safe GPS failed and he was unable to locate it, search as he may. However the following day he did find it lying in a tramline close to the circle; it was damaged and looked as though a tractor might have driven over part of it. This is by no means the first story of electrical equipment being drained. One pilot even found all his instruments failed to show. That was the last time he ever flew over a crop circle.
Bramdean 2023
Maybe the worst case to date, was one that I wrote up in my Pitkin book (it is out of print but is still available on my web site, Crop Circles published by Pitkin) about research immunologist Dr Roger Taylor and his computer. A circle appeared at Alton Priors in 2001. This circle had a certain spot where two independent camera crews, one a Norwegian, found all their equipment fail for the very first time ever. Also a young man had his one and only new film reel itself backwards into its case without taking a single picture. He was close to where I was standing at the time and his language was fairly ripe!
Despite being warned Dr Taylor placed his laptop computer in the danger area. He was concerned about his computer and wanted to monitor a separate battery. To this end, a chartered electrical engineer adapted a hand-held computer to record at 15 second intervals. All was quiet until around 16.20 hours, when a significant voltage spike occurred, lasting about six minutes. All seemed well with his laptop in the circle but on leaving the circle, his laptop became useless to the point where it was necessary to replace the system board at considerable cost.
Alton Priors 2001
As I sure you are aware, this has been a frustratingly meagre year for the circles and due to the fact that there was not a circle available in which to conduct our annual scientific tests into the temporary relief of Parkinson’s disease and Essential Tremor, we decided to conduct our tests using two of Avebury’s giant megaliths. The stones just like the Stonehenge stones and other stone circles of the British Isles such as Abor Low in Derbyshire, Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire, Calanais Standing stones on the Isle of Lewis, often called the Stonehenge of the North and the other 12 stone circles found in the rest of Great Britain, have their own individual energy. Avebury expert and internationally recognised dowser Maria Wheatley kindly agreed to join us as a guinea pig. She chose which two megaliths to use. (Maria has kindly agreed to take one of my tour groups round Avebury stone circles next year).
Maria told us that some of the stones were recumbent and when raised, metal was used in order to keep them upright, whereas others needed to be raised and so were buried in concrete. Several however are natural stones free of any additional substance.
As usual, highly specialised advanced clinical physiologist Paul Gerry kindly gave his time to conduct tests, first in the Avebury Social and Sport club using the MM (Mind Mirror). We then went into the southern inner circle quadrant of the Avebury Stone circle complex and Maria and I sat side by side, close to a natural stone. The peace of the surroundings was almost tangible until we both simultaneously felt a sudden wave of heat encompassing us, lasting a few seconds. Neither Paul Gerry or Essential Tremor sufferer Tina Martin felt anything despite being close by. It seemed to be emanating from the stone behind us. This showed up as “ A notable gamma/delta flare in both Lucy and Maria’s recordings around 3:40.”)
After a brief pause we moved over the second megalith which in order to right it had been set in concrete.
Paul Gerry compared and later analysed the three identical tests. He further sent them for additional analysis to Judith Pennington in the USA, the recognised expert of the MM technique. Despite her heavy workload she kindly sent her reading of the tests. Paul Gerry’s overall analysis is at the end.
Scientific Research Results
AVEBURY STONE CIRCLE 21st JULY 2024
This year there were no crop circles nearby so instead we decided to record the brainwave frequencies of Lucy Pringle cropcirclephotographs.co.uk and Maria Wheatley www.mariawheatley.uk simultaneously using the Viliistus equipment which includes the wonderful and unique Mind Mirror, as well as numerous frequency and amplitude analysis tools.
It was a great opportunity to have the two internationally famous experts in their own established fields being recorded together at Avebury to observe the effects of the stones. They had their Electroencephalographic recordings first made away from the stone circle - first photo - then twice more, close to two different stones.
Photo 1 (a) Photo 2 (b) Photo 3 (c)
Each session involves simply a recording whilst they sat with their eyes closed and relaxed.
The data collected was complex and therefore I felt I needed someone who was more familiar with the data and an expert in its interpretation. I was extremely fortunate that on asking Judith Pennington, the world authority on EEG and the Awakened Mind, agreed to analyse the data. She is the founder and director of the Institute for the Awakened Mind (IAM), which is an international consortium of consciousness trainers using the Mind Mirror EEG to guide people to the unlimited power and potential within them - www.judithpennington.com
She is the co-developer and driving force behind the Vilistus Mind Mirror 6, a unique and scientifically proven fast-track to meditation and consciousness development with an at-home self-training program for individuals, professionals, and researchers.
She provided an in depth analysis of the brainwaves for which am most grateful and deeply in debt.
LUCY PRINGLE
In the first photo - (a) above - she showed a left-brain dominance of the gamma frequencies, suggesting at least partly due to stress.
Then at (b), below, the gamma was quietened immensely – The high gamma coherence and upturned delta frequency band suggested she was in touch with her unconscious delta mind with information flowing upwards across the alpha bridge - the information being from her own unconsciousness or the stone.
At the second stone (c), she seems to have attuned to something on her left and her hemispheres are become more balanced. It seems she has tapped into something at this second stone, where there is a gamma increase. What exactly this was is impossible to tell.
Notice in the graph below how the gamma has a strong increase at 1:05 that then triggers a delta increase with another at 9:05.
This is when she connects with the stone, similar to that observed by Isobelle Cade as Maxwell Cade’s conclusion about measuring brainwaves at crop circles (see www.mindmirrorportal.com/biography-of-max-cade/ for his details).
MARIA WHEATLEY
The first recording of her was inside a building so there was the presence of some electrical interference from proximity to mains cables. The MM Summary graph and Composite Displays for each hemisphere show that her brainwaves are very symmetrical.
Her gamma seems real - except for the 50Hz electrical interference in the Spectral Summaries below. Note the horizontal yellow line which is caused by being inside a room close to a mains cable. That artefact is responsible for a good bit of her gamma, as you can see in the 49Hz bar below in the MM graph.
b)
The Spectral Summaries below show that there was no sEMG artifact beside the stone, so these gamma readings are reliable - meaning, without being amplified in the 50Hz bar by electrical or sound wave noise. The Signal Quality windows (not shown below) show perfect signal quality, without any breaks. She was very still, except for four movement spikes shown in the sEMG Artifact.
Amplitude windows, the latter two of which correlate to delta spikes in the Composite Display at 5:34 and 6:18 minutes.
The delta spike in the Composite Display at 5:34 actually preceded the sEMG spike at 5:43, so something might have happened, internally or externally, that sent out her delta and caused her to startle, and in fact, that delta was not a spike as much as a surge lasting from 5:34 to 5:50 minutes. The last delta and sEMG spike occurred simultaneously. She was noticeably more left-brained in this recording.
At c) Her Signal Quality was perfect, and there was no 50Hz noise see the Spectral Summaries. But the sEMG Artifact Amplitude and Spectral Summary windows show twitchy movements which show up as gamma spikes or flares in the Composite Display. So either she twitched or flared gamma, or she had gamma spikes that show up in the sEMG as movement. It’s impossible to tell which. But there are 10 of these sEMG/gamma spikes,
Basically, Maria’s averaged brainwave pattern was much the same in all three recordings. The only other difference was a left-brain dominance during b) and a right-brain dominance during c)
It is very interesting that comparing Lucy’s and Maria’s recordings at 3:40 minutes there a significant gamma/delta flare. One can only imagine what happened then!
This report offers fascinating insights into the EEG recordings of Lucy Pringle and Maria Wheatley at Avebury Stone Circle. By comparing brainwave activity across various locations within and outside the stone circle, it seems that the ancient site may have influenced their neurological responses in distinct and unexpected ways. Judith Pennington’s in-depth analysis further reveals intricate shifts in brainwave coherence, delta, and gamma activity patterns - highlighting possible interactions between the environment, consciousness, and brain states.
Here's a summary of the key findings:
Lucy Pringle:
Away from the stones (a): Displayed left-brain gamma dominance, possibly indicative of stress or heightened cognitive activity.
Near Stone (b): Experienced reduced gamma activity with high coherence, suggesting deeper, unconscious engagement through the delta band.
Near Stone (c): Demonstrated increased hemispheric balance and a significant gamma rise at distinct times, potentially indicating a connection or attunement to the stones.
Maria Wheatley:
Inside a building (first session): Recorded symmetrical brainwaves but had a 50Hz interference likely from nearby electrical sources.
Near Stone (b): Gamma readings were reliable, and she showed left-brain dominance, with distinct delta activity noted as well.
Near Stone (c): Showed right-brain dominance, with frequent gamma spikes or sEMG artifacts, suggesting either physical or gamma-related responses.
Noteworthy Observations:
A notable gamma/delta flare in both Lucy and Maria’s recordings around 3:40 minutes may point to an external stimulus or shared response at this moment.
The findings raise questions about the potential impacts of ancient stones on brainwave patterns and consciousness.
This intriguing blend of EEG technology, ancient sites, and consciousness research presents numerous possibilities for future investigation into environmental influences on brain activity and altered states of consciousness.
So there are many interesting and noteworthy features that beg for further research.

It is an annual occurrence in the UK that our clocks go back at 2 a.m. on the morning of the last Sunday in October, marking the end of summer and the start of winter, as we switch from British Summer Time (BST) to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Fortunately, this change lasts for only five months of the 12-month year.
The idea of changing the clocks in Britain was first proposed by William Willett, a builder, in his pamphlet titled The Waste of Daylight in 1902. Willett, an avid horse rider, came up with the idea one early summer morning while out riding. He noticed a great many drawn curtains, indicating people were still asleep despite the daylight.Although his suggestion was not adopted at the time, it eventually came to fruition. Interestingly, Willett’s great-great-grandson is Chris Martin, the singer of Coldplay.
As reported by North Wales Live, “As the UK approaches the winter solstice, sunrises occur later, and daily sunlight decreases. In December, the sun will rise as late as 8:06 a.m., and most of the month will see London experiencing fewer than eight hours of daylight.”
Greenwich Mean Time was the default legal time used in Britain before Daylight Saving Time was introduced in 1916. The Summer Time Act of 1916 stated that from spring to autumn, legal time would be an hour ahead of GMT. The act was adopted during the First World War when the country needed to make use of as much daylight as possible to conserve coal. When the clocks go back, the country returns to the default time zone established in 1880.
In recent days, we have been experiencing unusually warm weather for this time of year – halcyon days. When someone remarked that they had never heard the word "halcyon" used before, I decided to do a little research. It is described as “denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful.” There are many other definitions, all positive.
Of Greek origin, the word "halcyon" comes from a story in Greek mythology about the halcyon bird, the kingfisher, which had the power to calm the rough ocean waves every December so she could nest. Like those calm waters, "halcyon" has come to mean a sense of peace or tranquillity.
The picture below is one of the side images in my 2025 calendar.
With more positive thoughts running through my mind, I have been marvelling at the magnificence of nature and the wonders it can produce. This has been a blessed time, with nature at its most spectacular – a time when the heavens have been displaying an array of the most wonderful examples of impressionist art.
Not only are the skies showcasing their wonders, but the earth has its own palette of colours, too. We are witnessing a magical display, a kaleidoscope of colours, as the leaves put on their finest – reds, oranges, yellows, browns, and silvers. As I was walking this week, an acer tree caught my eye and provided me with its abundance of reds and purples.
Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki' Tree (Japanese Maple)
It might surprise you to know that the pictures were all taken of the same tree, and the variation in colours was due to the change in light as I moved my position.
I have been meaning to visit Warnford Church in Hampshire with my sister, Amanda. It was supposed to be her birthday treat back in September, but sometimes things don’t go exactly as planned! I feel sure we will get there very soon, and then I will be able to tell you all about it. The church is ancient, dating mainly from the 1190s, with an earlier tower and Saxon roots.
Dear Friends,
O dear, what happens to the time? It has an unfortunate tendency to go too fast - impossibly difficult to try and keep up with it at times. My profound apologies.
The Mayans had quite a different view on the subject and one to which I prescribe at times. Their concept is as follows.
They have an interesting belief that there is no such time as the present. It just does not exist. They recognise the past which is in front of them because they know about it and can thus ‘see’ it. The future is behind them because they cannot ‘see’ it. It is still to come and they don’t know anything about what it will bring. Once the future arrives they know all about it and then they can ‘see’ it; it is before them and immediately becomes the past.
What has happened this summer? To be honest, very little indeed. We have had a small sprinkling - a mere seven circles, plus an addition to an existing event.
What is the reason for this, people keep asking? I suspect we all have our own views on the subject - from a shortfall of rutting hedgehogs to an abandonment of UFOs.
I would love to hear from you and how you account for the shortage.
For what it is worth, my personal view is based on the premise that the circles were given to us as a form of spiritual advancement or education/understanding. They never force themselves on anyone; they talk to some but remain silent and uninteresting to others.
They started as simple circles, and over the past 30 plus years have steadily advanced in size and complexity - just as we evolve from childhood to adults - expanding our knowledge as we increase in age. How far we take this learning, and in which direction, is up to us.
We all know that many formations are man-made but there are others that have proved to be beyond the wit of man, either due to eye witness accounts or scientifically proven experiments. As retired chartered engineer James Lyons wrote, regarding the eye witness account of the enormous 1996 Julia Set fractal circle opposite Stonehenge: “However the more complex patterns have additional information contained in the sphere and who or what presses the button to make these is not within our present knowledge or understanding."
Some people are frightened by this phenomenon. For their comfort and self-preservation, they then pretend that all are man-made and join the ranks of similar people. Indeed they become quite vociferous and the more noise they make the safer they feel. Safety in numbers. I have met several such people who have made a ‘volte-face’ when it hits their ‘boggle threshold’, and they have to accept that not all are man-made. I believe that this troubled reaction is more common than we realise. Clearly there are certain ‘no go’ areas in deeply rooted belief systems and if these are threatened, they endanger the whole core of the person’s fundamental being.
When searching through some papers the other day I found notes I had made many years ago after chatting to a delightful and erudite old lady. I visited her regularly and we had endless fascinating discussions.
Discussing the troubled reaction of a certain young man to particular circles, she suggested “Maybe he could not accept this phenomenon is within the Mind of God? God is beyond all religion, and theology is like a library of religious beliefs and dogmas placed for the comfort and security of its readers.”
I am now going to give you a brief run through of this year’s happenings.
April came and went - the fields of oil seed rape (canola) remained untouched. May also swept by virtually un-noticed. June came and lo and behold, on the 12th, there was great rejoicing as a circle, similar to those of years gone by, was found at Wilton Windmill, near Wilton, Wiltshire.
I was asked to be one of several contributors to a programme filmed in the below circle. It was pouring with rain at the time and we kept shooting in between showers. https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2024/charlie-cooper-local-legends-new-series-bbc-three I am told that the series is currently being edited and the hope is for it to broadcast at the start of October. The dates haven't been confirmed yet by the BBC, but they will confirm when they know.
Roman Road, near Marten, Wiltshire. 23rd July 2024. c.90 feet (27.5m) Wheat.
Stoke Charity, near Sutton Scotney, Hampshire. Reported 28th July 2024, Wheat. c.140 feet (c 43m) diameter
And lastly August arrived:
Lion’s Gate, Etchilhampton, near Devizes, Wiltshire 8th August 2024 Winter wheat c.210 feet (64m) diameter
When looking at this formation, a friend immediately saw ‘sixes and nines’. On closer inspection, his thoughts were:
“A Kabbalistic reading of the circle might follow that great divine grammar, The Tree of Life. Made up of 10 sephirot, often thought of as divine lights, the Tree of Life represents the manifestation of the divine. Each sephirah is a divine aspect including wisdom, understanding, strength and mercy. The crop circle seemed to me to speak of sixes and nines. The sixth sephirah on the tree is divine beauty. The ninth sephirah on the tree is divine foundation, the meta-physical structures prior to the physically manifest. The sephirot of beauty and foundation both lie on the pillar of equilibrium, divine balance and harmony. All this suggests to me the creative energies of balance, beauty and foundation which lie at the heart of an understanding of sacred geometry.”
One final event arrived on the 29th August 2024 sporting additions to the original Lyon’s Gate circle of the 8th August 2024:
In the past there have been years where a common theme has followed - such as in 2004 when there appeared to be an organic influence. Can you find one for this year?
Sadly, this has been a year of disappointment for many, especially for those you came from abroad in June to see the circles.
It seems that as always the circles can never run to plan, but those who venture further afield can find that the area around the wonderful Stone Complex at Avebury to be full of unexpected treasures. This whole sacred part of the ancient Isle of Albion, is now a World Heritage site.
For those who are energetic, I commend the
https://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/en_GB/trails/the-ridgeway/ which will take you to many sacred places on the way.
I took my usual popular tours, one ending with the additional extra of the unique private entry to Stonehenge, allowing access to the inner circle and permission to go right up to the giant megaliths.
I plan to do a similar tour next year, but have not yet decided on the date. For those who are interested, the tour is normally towards the end of July.
At the beginning of August, I will take an equally popular day, ending with an optional extra of a flight over the circles and sacred places such as Silbury Hill, Avebury Stone Complex, West Kennet Long Barrow etc.
The smiles of people after they have landed, stretch from ear to ear!
The third tour I took was with a special group of people of all ages from the Munro Institute in America. They were people mainly from the US, but included others from Norway, China, Japan, Romania, Panama, the Virgin Islands, Colombia and a few from the UK. A delightful day shared with people of enquiring minds.
I am hoping that my beautiful 2025 Classic Crop Circle will be ready soon after the middle of October. Please place your order early so that there are no postal delays. Nobody believed what this horse did at night, until…
I am sure many of you will have been asking ‘What has happened to the circles and why are they are so late?’
Recently much has been written about Artificial intelligence (AI) * which is the simulation of human intelligence processed by machines, especially computer systems. Knowing comparatively little about the subject, my automatic gut reaction is one of fear that we may be opening Pandora’s Box and may be tampering with something that once unleashed, may be difficult to control.
*The term artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a field of computer science that designs machines advanced enough to perform tasks that in the past required human intelligence to achieve. AI scientists develop algorithms and systems that acquire, process, and analyze data, recognize patterns, and make decisions.
It has been found that when students and AI are given identical examination papers, AI scores higher marks.
Could we therefore conjecture that the Cosmic Brain or Consciousness is also being similarly affected by manipulating our basic energy system which is composed of two grid systems?
In my latest book, The Energies of Crop circles, the Science and Power of a Mysterious Intelligence, my co-author - James Lyons - a chartered engineer, specialising in aeronautical research, writes: ‘However the dramatic changes in mainstream science are again revealing the Concept of cosmic Consciousness. Crop circles are confirming that the human mind operates synonymously with the crop circle Consciousness. This is our link to the circles.’
So much of life is subject to open minded conjecture and the enjoyment of discussion between objective people.
My tours are coming nearer, one on the 25th July and the other on the 1st August. I have a few spaces left and one ticket for the special private evening entry to Stonehenge on the 25th July due to a cancellation.
You can now pay me online.
All indications are for a late summer so I feel hopeful that we will have good weather.
The crop circles remain a mystery and move in mysterious and teasing ways. I have always believed that they could be finite but despite their late arrival this summer, I do not feel in my heart or mind that that time has come.
As they keep us on the edge of our seats, they remind me that we should not take people or events for granted. My belief is that they will come with a flourish like an orchestra about to strike up when the conductor takes the stand.
I wanted to let you know that bookings for the special private entry to Stonehenge and all its wonderful and magical energy will close on Friday 21st June. No bookings can be taken after that date.
Since writing and sending this post I have received photos of a crop circle!
For the last couple of weeks, I have been waiting to hear news of new crop circle, but nothing has appeared. I checked the date when the first circle came last year 2023 and found it was the 28th May.
It was at Winterbourne Bassett in barley and was in the vicinity of an ancient standing stone.

Therefore, if the circles follow the same trend, we may have to try and possess our souls in patience for a few more days yet.
I understand from a farmer, that his wheat crop has taken well but he is not so happy about the barley due to the excessive amount of rain we have had from early spring up to the middle of May.
As I mentioned in my last letter, apart from oil seed rape (canola), barley is the next crop ready to accept a circle. The crop has to be of a certain height in order to retain an impression.
Last weekend, my son who is over from Sydney and my sister visited Wells cathedral. Of all the cathedrals I have visited - I love visiting cathedrals and churches, especially the tiny ancient shepherd churches; they are tucked away deep inside the hills and dales of the countryside. They have a special simplicity, but possess a rare peace - Wells cathedral is my favourite.
It was a long drive down to Somerset from Hampshire, made longer due to a strip of road passing Stonehenge being temporarily closed, hence a rather tortuous diversion. This closure is due to laying the electrics for the proposed tunnel. The road (A303) will be open in mid-July.
Built in 1175, Wells Cathedral is one of the first and finest examples of Gothic architecture of its kind, the style of architecture being brought over from France.
We were late entering the cathedral, and as a result we only had a very short time to look around as Evensong was due to start at 3pm to commemorate the life of Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) ‘who was one of the leading musicians of his generation and had profound effect on the development and history of English music as a performer, conductor, composer.’
He was a prolific writer of music. He wrote several symphonies, also chamber music and songs. He also wrote many works for the organ and is often remembered for his religious music. He played a large part in the Royal School of Music and was their Professor of Music for over forty years.
It was a wonderful service with a full choir, the music still ringing in my ears several days later.
Before the service started, we just had time to climb the steep stone steps up to the Chapter House. It is surrounded by the arms of the diocese chapters. This is my very favourite place in the whole cathedral. I could spend hours just sitting quietly on one of the surrounding stone seats. It is an octagonal room, and the harmony I feel may be due to that fact. Indeed we are told by Plato that music and number are related and this is a good example. Silence has a music of its own. The octagon represents not only the passage from the earthly plane (square), to the celestial plane (circle) - a symbol of protection to ward off negative spiritual activity and a bridge between heaven and earth.
As you can see from the photograph, the architecture is one of outstanding beauty. The carving of the middle column commands the rest of the stations, each displaying carvings of similar quality. It was built between 1275 and 1310 by unknown architects.
Amongst many other unique features, is the famous clock. We are told that the clock is considered to be the second oldest clock mechanism in Britain, and probably in the world, to survive in its original condition and still in use. The original works were made about 1390 and the clock face is the oldest surviving original of its kind anywhere.
As I walk and drive through the countryside, I see that the oilseed rape (canola) fields are a glorious yellow. As I have mentioned before, there were years when the circles used to appear in this brilliantly coloured crop during April and May. Will it happen again this year?
Oil seed rape is the crop in which sleuths can most easily detect man-made circles, because it has stalks that break if bent to an angle of 40° or more. They also bruise easily and crack underfoot.
I am going to tell you about one such circle from 2015.
In May of that year, a valuable experiment was conducted. It was later shown on the History Channel called ‘Circles from the Sky’. This event was organised by the far-sighted American based Prometheus Studios, Inc. When the company first told me of their idea of making a crop circle, I was sceptical, as so many programmes made on this topic had not served it well. However, after several conversations and emails I felt reassured that they were well-intentioned and ethical - so I was happy to take part and to be interviewed.
The aim of the programme was to interview several researchers and to obtain permission for a circle to be constructed in a farmer’s field.
The experiment would be done in daylight in oilseed rape. The people making the circle would be asked to copy a particular previous circle that had shown no evidence of human involvement.
The circle chosen was one that had appeared on the 1st of May 2005 at Alton Priors. I recall visiting this, and after careful scrutiny could find no broken, crushed, or bruised stems. It was perfect.
The filming was to take place over two days. The circle was made by the ‘A team’ - Circlemakers.org - and the weather was good. The crop stood between 3 and 4 feet high (1 - 1.3 metres) though not as tall as it had been in 2005 when the crop often reached a height of between six and seven feet (1.8 - 2.1 metres). Indeed, I can remember getting completely lost in one field, the crop was so high!
It took Circlemakers three and a half hours to make the circle. You can see from the first image that they are holding a rope across one of the sections. You will notice that the bottom right hand crescent doesn’t have a ‘bite’ out of it, as does the original.
You will see that they also had a ladder - it is outside the circle in a tramline below the circle.
The farmer had forbidden anyone to go into the field, but as part of the film production programme I was allowed in. I don’t know if any of you have ever walked in a field of oilseed rape when it is in full flower? All I can tell you is that it is not a pleasant experience. The smell is pungent - really quite nasty - and the pollen from the flowers gets everywhere: up your nose, in your eyes, ears, hair and all over your clothes. So I took off my hat to the Circlemakers.org for gallantly trying to replicate the Alton Priors circle in the most disagreeable and uncongenial of circumstances.

It is a well-known fact that due to the crop having a hollow based stem, it snaps when bent at an angle of more than 40 degrees. As a result, they were not able to make the circle without breaking, snapping and bruising the crop - as the images show - but it was a task not many people would have tackled and the damage was not as extensive as I have seen in many oilseed rape circles.
The upshot is historic - it proves conclusively that it is NOT possible for humans to make a crop circle in oilseed rape. Hence the importance of the circle that appeared on the 7th June 2023 at Potterne Hill, near Devizes, Wiltshire. I put it on the front of my 2024 calendar.

Stonehenge
It is with a feeling of great sorrow that I learn that a tunnel will soon be built close to Stonehenge, despite much protest. This would effectively prevent us seeing a perfect view of Stonehenge, except by entering the Visitor Centre. This will hide the stones from view forever. Sadly, this is inevitable as the A303 becomes increasingly more and more congested by traffic.
There is evidence that this whole area was once densely populated. Wherever you tread, you are treading on a piece of sacred land. This whole area around Stonehenge and beyond is of enormous importance - spiritually and scientifically - and is more significant than recently realised. There is much more to be discovered.
Campaigners are returning to court in a final effort to challenge the decision. I wish them every possible good fortune, but something tells me that this is the end of the fight.
The A303 is being closed for three months from April.
There are so many different pictures of where the tunnel might be placed in the landscape, that I am not including any until a firm decision has been made.
We are told that ‘The installation of an electricity supply will require a temporary closure of a section of the A360 between April and July this year. The A303 Stonehenge project needs an electricity supply for construction and for the tunnel once built.’
On a much more cheerful subject, the bluebells are in bloom and the birds are nesting - one of the most exciting times of year.
Bookings for my crop circle tours are coming in fast.
Crop Circle Tours 2024
The first tour is on Thursday, July 25th. This comes with a special private evening entry into Stonehenge. It allows you to enter the inner circle, go right up to the stones, and feel the energy radiating from them. This is an optional extra to the cost of the crop circle tour.
My second tour is on Thursday, August 1st. After visiting the circles, there is an optional extra of flying over the circles and the sacred places nearby, such as the unique Avebury stone complex, Silbury Hill, and West Kennet Long Barrow. This is very popular; people return with smiles stretching from ear to ear.
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will.
At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.
The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.
But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.
