Wickham, England 2006. www.temporarytemples.co.uk This year brought some spectacular crop circles, even though 2006 had a short growing season due to climate change, and there were many fewer crop circles than in recent years, and the distribution shifted away from the usual locations.
The formations this year repeated the number 12 frequently in the features of the circles – as in the highly unusual one on the cover at the left. As yet, there has been no generally accepted interpretation of the meanings of these still mysterious ciphers in summer landscapes. My own reading of this one, going clockwise, is that here is a suggestion that humanity might do well to consider downsizing our industrial structures.
I continue to be impressed that these crop circles are genuinely produced by powers that are beyond ordinary human capacities. I cannot believe that people would be capable of producing these with the speed of appearance of structures hundreds of feet in diameter (usually overnight), with the precision of complex features, and with intricate interweaving of the crop stalks that are laid down in precise patterns within the overall figures.
Steve and Karen Alexander present clear descriptions of the circles, placing some of them in historical contexts that may help to explain them some day.
