“If there’s 100 people in the audience, you’re going to get 100 different interpretations, especially when things get abstract. It’s beautiful. Everybody’s a detective and whatever they come up with is valid in my mind”.

David Lynch. (Film Director & Artist)

A word on meaning 

I don’t really think that the crop circles have a specific meaning. Not in the sense that they have a singular narrow interpretation. I think they’re meant to provoke, evoke, challenge and delight us in equal measure and to some extent they speak to us all individually as well as collectively. 

Number is but one way to approach the circles. It is in many ways a universal language – I certainly don’t think humans invented number, I think, rather,  we discovered it, or perhaps even (dare I suggest), we deeply intuited it. It is uncanny the way in which we can describe the universe, its forces, substances and behaviour with number – with blackboard full of equations; numerals and strange mathematical symbols. Is not number and mathematics a formal (consensus) form of symbolic language that we use to describe the universe?

If we discovered number, uncovered it rather than invented it, what does that say about us and our relationship to the Universe – did we deeply intuit number because we somehow have a deep connection to the universe that is much more than object and subject? There are some big questions here I think. 

Numbers in the Farley Mount Crop Circle

The crop circle at Farley Mount was a geometer’s delight. A formation of manifest and manifold correspondences. 

I decided early-on that when I drew this formation I would like to extend the geometry out beyond its perimeter and include what I (probably rather clumsily) call ‘radiating geometry’. I always feel that some circles are just larger than their seeming perimeter and the circles in this formation seemed to indicate that the pattern of this formation rippled out, unseen, into the landscape and I wanted to show that in my painting. 

Sometimes the seemingly simple can be incredibly powerful, not that this crop circle was simple, bit it was incredibly powerful and it used the beautiful, humble, Divine circle to achieve something wonderful.

Exploring the Crop Circle Phenomenon

2nd, 3rd & 4th August 2019 – The Ballroom, The Bear Hotel, Devizes, Wiltshire, UK

We welcome anyone who has an interest in the crop circles, beginners, veterans and everyone in between. We open our conference on the Friday with an ‘Introduction to the Crop Circle Phenomenon’ and offer two workshops, one the ‘Geometry of the Crop Circles’ and one on ‘Crop Circles and Consciousness’. The Friday programme is a great primer for the weekend.

The ‘Introduction to the Crop Circle Phenomenon’ presentation is given by a different researcher each year and offers an overview of the subject for those who might be new to it, or those who’d like a reminder!

Our Geometry Workshop offers both theory and hands-on drawing exercises to familiarise our attendees with the role of Sacred Geometry in the crop circle phenomenon. Once again it is presented with both beginners and more the experienced in mind and is designed to give a good grounding in many of the concepts you will undoubtedly hear discussed during the weekend. Don’t worry if you have never drawn with a compass and straight-edge before, there will be plenty of help on hand. This workshop is a place to shed your dread of maths and find your love for numbers!

The Consciousness Workshop begins on Friday and then stretches out across the whole weekend – with sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning. This group looks at what links consciousness with crop circles and opens with the question ‘What brings you here?’ The group widens and deepens throughout the weekend to discuss synchronicity, dreams, how the crop circles impact upon the psyche and what that might tell us about the phenomenon.

Our weekend is designed to get everyone thinking, talking and fully immersed in the crop circle mystery. Be ready for an impromptu lunch or dinner with new friends, or even stray out into the Wiltshire countryside for a sunset visit to the latest crop circle or a night-watch with a few like-minded attendees. The idea is that the conference is the framework for your weekend and then everyone makes and takes their connections onto whatever they feel inspired to do.
