From first glance, it appears that this enormous design, near the banks of Neolithic Hill Fort Barbury Castle shows echoes of the ratchet, which was one portion of the Barbury Castle Triangle/Tetrahedron of 1991. Its  is still regarded as "the mother of all pictograms". The proportions within this 2008 event indicate a far more intricate ratchet than its 1991 predecessor.  

Many years of research have been carried out on the 1991 event, and indeed the ratchet design demonstrates the number seven, as notes within the diatonic scale. The whole structure is also a collection of numeric, musical and geometrical harmonies.  Are we once again witnessing at this location, another formation from the Circle-makers indicating sound as a conveyed message which the ancients regarded as a prime creative force of the  Universe.

Pathway to an enigma?

This is the most exciting and puzzling event so far this year to appear in Wiltshire. This formation appears to deliberately straddle a public pathway. This is a little baffling as there is plenty of room in the barley field to accommodate a pathway free design. Intriguing indeed! There are numerous mind bending possibilities and explanations within this formation. A fascinating conundrum.

This crop circle appeared close to the ancient hill fort of Barbary Castle which is near to Swindon in Wiltshire.

The formation is 285ft in diameter, and is in barley. It appeared on the 1st of June 2008. At first glance this design is reminiscent of part of the famous crop circle in 1991 which also appeared close to Barbury Castle.  Early indications are that the design has the diatonic musical ratio encoded in its geometry.  Diatonic musical ratio is a way of showing the musical scale geometrically.

2008 - Seven, Nine and Ten

I also have more info on the 'hidden' message of the in-bound ratchet spiral. While everyone has focussed on the out-bound result as: "oh it just codes pi" . I believe is missing the point that it goes in two directions. Because the centre circle is one octave lower than the outer one, i.e.: not the same size. The fact that the outer circle has been left intentionally open to the spiral path supports this.

I have further mathematical proof of the PHI connection via the 306 degree point:

What's not included in my previous post is the 9th ratchet point near the smallest circle is the 31st segment on the out-bound ratchet spiral journey. So the 9th ratchet on the in-bound count is at the decimal point = 37th segment. Both are prime numbers.

31+37 = 68 (when this number is taken 2 octaves down – (remembering that the circles are octave based diameters) 68/34/[17] is equal to the number years from the original Barbury Castle Ratchet formation on 16/06/1991. (Actually to be precise the period is 16yrs 11mths 16 days.) NOTE: 17 x 4 ( 4 is number of turns of the Ratchet spiral) = 68
Also 360d x 4 cycles =1440d x 37/40 segments = 1332d one octave down is 666d

2880d(both cycles) x 68/80 segments = 2448d/2 =1224d 1224d/2 = 612d/2 = 306d [3 octaves down].

Four octaves down it becomes 153d or [17 x 9] (Which Joe Mason knows all about)
I'm sure he won't mind adding this link: http://www.greatdreams.com/153.htm

The formation has two major cycles (in & out) like a breath.
360 gives the first cycle and stops at the second cycle at 306d, 54d short [9x6] of a full cycle = 666d.

Remembering that Michael Reed said:


Big circle to middle circle = 2:1
Middle Circle to Smaller circle = 3:1
Smaller circle to larger circle = 6:1

720 x 31/40 = 558
720 x 37/40 = 666
diff.............. 108 [9 x 12]

note how the 9th ratchets and the ratio of the circles are picked up with numbers 1,2,3,6 =12 and 9.

Both 306d and 666d code PHI see animation from: http://goldennumber.net/bible.htm


Finally the PHi & "the 666 is a Man's" and I use Leonardo's Vitruvian man to illustrate this by Joesph Turbville: CLICK HERE

The 666/360 = 18.5 segments which when taken from the segment prior to the grape-shot (decimal) and counting 36d segments around twice to 18.5 it falls between the first & second circle as denoted by the pink line between the smaller outer circles.

Therefore the out-bound Pi perhaps represents the nature of heaven & Earth, while the in-bound PHI represents the relationship of nature to man.

Trevor J Ward


The Number Relationship of the  Inbound Ratchet Spiral  of Barbury Castle.
By Trevor Ward

"This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is a man's number. His number is 666." 

 

The first of the three outer circles is open to the pi spiral pathway (see Stuart Dyke Photo above)While the other two are closed.  This is contrary to what some have said about pi spiral being truncated. It seems to me the path goes around the circle and back thru’ the formation. When it reaches the ‘grape-shot’ (decimal) segment the spiral has travelled 37 out of 40 segments. It is also the 9th ratchet point from the outside. Yet the 9th ratchet on it’s out-bound journey of the spiral is placed right next to the smaller of the three outer circles. This then introduces the two remaining outer circles: 

7200 x 37th/40 = 6660.      6660/9th ratchet = 74 (37x2)
The first 144 digits of pi  add up to 666. 360 x 40 segments = 14400 
37 is also the 12th prime number and primes were used in the Arecibo message to the stars.
 

Extract from:  http://goldennumber.net/bible.htm

If you take the sine of 666º, you get -0.80901699, which is one-half of negative phi, or perhaps what one might call anti-phi. See animation here:

http://goldennumber.net/images/phi-666.gif

The trigonometric relationship of sin 666º to phi is based on an isosceles triangle with a base of phi and sides of 1.  When this triangle is enclosed in a circle with a radius of 1, we see that the lower line, which has an angle of 306º on the first rotation and 666º on the second rotation, has a sine equal to one-half negative phi.

In this we see the unity of phi divided into positive and negative, analogous perhaps to light and darkness or good and evil. 

In addition, 6660 is 540 short {or 1.5 segments of the Barbury Castle spiral} of the complete second circle and when dividing the 3600 of a circle by 540 you get 6.66... The other side of a 54 0 angle in a right angle is 360 and 36 divided by 54 is .666. 

Note: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 567 + 89 = 666 

 

Finally, 6660/360 = 18.5 segments which when taken from the segment prior to the grape-shot (decimal) and counted around to 18.5 it falls between the first & second circle as denoted by the pink line. see image above: 

So the out-bound spiral connects to pi and it appears the in-bound spiral has a connection to phi.

In addition the 666/36 = 18.5 seems to tie in the possibility that the larger of the two circles at the 18.5 point is 1 unit and the other 1/2 a unit in diameter. (Not sure from photos but Michael Reed claims they are in a ratio of 1:3 and 1:6 of the centre circle)

I go back to my opening statement about where the message comes from:

This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for
it is a man's number. His number is 666.

Nevertheless it is an exquisite formation. Whoever/whatever the author.

REPORT: The formation measures approximately 300 feet in diameter

This crop glyph was first spotted in the early morning of June 1st 2008. The formation can be well seen from the road-side at the north base of the castle hill, and can be seen in its entirety from the elevated position just a short distance up the hill.

On the ground the formation is extremely neat and precise throughout. The entire laid crop arcs within the circle was very clean and there were no obvious signs of mechanical device usage, further, no boot and plank stomping marks were found to be evident at the site. In all parts of the formation that were examined closely the barley plants were neatly bent just above the ground and not broken or crushed. This applies to the outer edges of the formation and its internal elements also.

The laid barley crop in the circular elements of the glyph were noted as being swirled out from the central points in what could be considered a mathematical spiral formula, which flows to the peripheries with some elegance. The entire formation has a seamless effect on the ground, as if the agency involved in its creation was a singular energetic, hand or entity.

Diagram Jay Goldner Copyright 2008


Please note that on the diagram, the line which goes to Pluto, has a designated place for an additional planetary alignment on the opposite end of Pluto's line. We believe this to be the 12th Celestial Body in our Solar System, which is what we think this crop circle might be trying to tell us. Please note that the following are considered celestial bodies/planets in some cultures:
 
1) Sun
2) Moon
3) Earth
4) Mars
5) Saturn
6) Jupiter
7) Mercury
8) Venus
9) Neptune
10) Uranus
11) Pluto
12) The 12th planet

This is a stretch to believe if a person has not studied the Sumerian Language of ancient times (Not from a biblical standpoint - but a scholarly one), which clearly states there is a 12th planet (celestial body) in our solar system, which comes visible to Earth only every 3,600 years due to large orbit - much like Haley's comet which only appears every 75 years or so. When a person studies the Sumerian's astrological and mathematical abilities, they are outstanding and surpass our own modern day. They knew about Saturn and Uranus long before we discovered those planets in modern times. They accredit their knowledge to the superior beings who lived on the 12th Planet.
 
There are countless Sumerian deciphered texts which denote this 12th planet's existence, and the people who lived on this planet were considered "gods" by the Sumerians because of the vast knowledge they brought to our planet, and powers they held - including space travel. For more information regarding this subject, read The 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin. Getting through the first 3 chapters is a challenge, but he brings all the facts together in a manner that is beyond astounding.
 

Please review my attachment. If the intention of the crop circle is to denote celestial bodies in our solar system, then...there is one missing. Thank you for your time in this matter and in allowing us to share our excited opinions/theories with you.

Thought you'd like to know that the recent crop circle at Barbury Castle represents our solar system and the planet positions with emphasis on Earth given by the three connected circles on the outer edge. Using the free orbital calculator at SkyViewCafe.com, I determined the date of this planetary alignment to be August 9, 2014, 1700 GMT.  Hope this info is useful to you.

The number pi is encoded in the lengths of arc in the various segments of the ratchet spiral, going outwards, measured in units of 36 degrees: 3.141592654, with the decimal point the small solid circle after the first segment.

Joe Hutcheson


Ten circles have here been used (within a 14-fold total division of a circle radius), which makes the larger circle just four times bigger than the smaller: and the pattern revolves exactly four times around. This design is based on a tenfold division of the circle, maybe because ten digits of pi add up to 40! The Circlemakers always love whole-number ratios, i.e. integers, so its fascinating to see how they here tackle the endless, transcendental number pi.   I reckon school math teachers would like using this, its so neat. 

(But, strictly speaking the design isn’t a spiral and maybe  it should be called a ratchet, making a comparison to the famous ratchet-design also at Barbury Castle, 17 years ago? Perhaps ask Michael Reed’s view on this …) 

A 14-fold division of circle-radius is here set up, and we could note that the Circlemakers have done this at least once before – a strange 3-way interference pattern on 1 August 2001 at Allington, Wiltshire  In that August 2001 design, 3 sets of radiating circles interfered with each other based on a 14-fold division of the triangle sides. Use of 7 or 14 for linear division is very much their style – it would not occur to you or I.  I think without a doubt this is the most mathematically brilliant start to a year we’ve ever had.

After visiting some crop circles on Friday 13th June I ended up at the Barbury Castle formation.  Whilst I was in the formation I met up with Adrian Crocker a local farmer, he pointed out to me that node bending was present in other plants as well as the main crop. We both agreed that this was interesting, so I decided to take a few samples home. Barley, Wheat and Wild Oat samples all taken from near the perimeter of the formation close to the three joining circles.  I thought this might be of some interest.


Barbury Castle Circle May relate to prediction by Nostradomus

The circle looked so much like a Astrology chart that I checked it.   It took some time.  At first I was confused until I realized that the lines indicated counter clockwise rotation.  So this symbol of the solar system is referenced as viewed from above instead of from the Earth like a normal chart.  So I mirror imaged the crop circle so that I could use a Earth Centred Zodiac program and things started to match.  Then I simple ran the program to see when the planets seemed to be in position.  I could be off a little. The Planets seem to align most closely to the date: August 12, 2019 at 4:00 PM London, England.    It seems the Sun is at the centre and they do not think of Pluto as a planet. Since Uranus and Neptune have the slowest orbit, I started with them and then ran forward until Saturn and Jupiter came into place.   It is a very elegant way to diagrammatically give us a specific date and time.  When I noticed Mars in Leo I remember your show with John Hogue and realized that Barbury Castle Circle references a date that ties to Nostradamus prediction! Mars in Leo at the same time as the Sun is rare.  While Mars is in Leo every year, typically not when the Sun is in Leo.  

Click on Thumbnail to enlarge

The date has The Sun and Mars in Leo.  This ties to the destroyer coming when Mars is in Leo and I think the outer circles are representative of Nuberu or the 12th planet's approach.   I have attached the mirror image of the circle and the chart for that date.  It should be obvious which planet is where and associated with which orbit is indicated on the crop circle. Instead of the Earth being in the centre as shown on the chart, the crop circle has the Sun in the centre.   I am not certain of the copyrights to these images, but perhaps if some of the Expert Astrologists look at the crop circle and the date, they might be able to give a prediction about the planets.   Louis Turi comes to mind, since this also indicated war at the dragon's tail,  I think.  This is only a hobby with me.  I like to figure out puzzles.

If this is correct we may have 7 more years after 2012.  Another thing to keep in mind is Seven years are give to the Beast, 3.5 before he is wounded and 42 months as the beast.  So maybe things just begin in 2012.  Revelations says that fire comes from the Sky and destroys them, so maybe the Destroyer is the fire from the sky.   I would like to hear, John Hogue and Louis Turi discuss this and see if they think I am right or completely off base.  Maybe George Noring can get you all on CoasttoCoastAM again.  I think this is a warning of a coming tributlation, and for us to get ready.

Description: My folks tell me that there is a new crop circle at Barbury Castle. If you are coming down the hill from the cafe at Barbury you can see it in the field to the right. I am so excited but cannot get there till Tuesday evening (hopefully then!) In the meantime I have sent my brother (who lives in Chiseldon with my folks) on a quest to check it out. (He doesn't have a camera though).

Barbury Castle 2008 Crop formation Reveals more secrets

I have always believed that Barbury Castle was coded with PHI, now that the 36 degree segments are shown to be Golden Triangles. I have added them to the formation and produced both a 5 pointed (orange) star which touches a red 7th concentric circle in four places, except where the decimal point lies. I've chosen that point as the golden triangle and line ADC runs thru' the 7th ratchet. Note the Golden Triangle in yellow rotates 180 degrees into each of the other nine 36 degree segments.

A pentagon in black with the golden ratio in brown conjuncts at the 5th ratchet point.  

 


Below are both the Golden Triangle and Pentagon with the geometric expressions of the golden ratio PHI:

With the following images (St Peter's Basilica & American Indian Kiva temple) I've added the same double golden triangles in red which may convince many that we are seeing a 'living temple' within Barbury Castle formation. Imagine a keyhole in each image + Barbury Castle centre circle and segment at the decimal point (example is in attachment).



Not only that, but the ratchet spiral doesn't stop at the large outer circle it travels inside it and out again. Therefore the formation breathes in and out over 8 cycles, the circle at the end of the ratchet spiral is open and should be added to the cycle to make 9 cycles which is 360 x 9 = 3240.   this number is part of a series of octaves:
 
810/1620/3240/6480/12960/25920  5 octaves in total matching the 5 pointed star. The golden triangles rotate 180 degrees around the 10 segments from the decimal point 9 times. 9 x 180 = 1620 one of the octaves above. 

So we have a living - breathing temple. Does it represent us? Our natural self? - which we have lost in a materialistic world.

The adding of PHI makes this formation quite inspirational in some many ways. As we are the natural embodiment of PHI and PI is a construct of our intellect. The narrative is saying: "the 'breath in' is symbolic of our inner nature thru' PHI. While the 'breath out' is symbolic of our outer conscious recognition of the relationship that pi represent."

 
A further interesting point as stated earlier, the Orange 5 pointed star touches only four points on 7th circle. The 5th point stands alone at 'D' on 7th ratchet. I see this symbolically pointing to 2012 and the Mayan 5th sun. Here's a quote which perfectly sums this up:
 
"In Egypt, the child of the dead father was Horus, the posthumous son of Osiris to the miracle working wife, Isis. This child has to be a divine child due to his posthumous conception. Its name, Horus, was the same as the inactive uncle Horus the Elder, and even more important it was the same as the originator of all Egypt, Ra-Hor-Khuti, or the Horus of two horizons. This means that Horus, the son of Isis, was born to restore the kingdom of the First Father of Egypt. This Egyptian Horus son is the Mayan Hunahpu. And more importantly, the two First Father spirits are the same by the names Ra and One Hunahpu. The age of the 5th Sun in the Americas is the age of Horus in Egypt. There is much in the historical record which shows that the tribal kings of Egypt and the native Americans were called Son of the Sun. Thus, the living tribal kings were emulating the gods as god kings through enlightenment, i.e., learning the cosmic truths. Anthropologists often associate these cultures with the label "sun worshipers." If we examine the mystique of the sun closely, we realize that it is the source of all life in the solar system, and for all we have yet experienced, life anywhere else. So, to be a "sun worshiper" means to be one who worships life. The sun is our source of light. Therefore, a king who successfully emulates the sun will become a source of light in the lives of those who follow him. Great priest-kings of the tribal communities of Egypt and the Americas strived to be beneficent enlightened providers of life to the tribes they served. This high communal responsibility idea is at the very core of the age known as the 5th Sun. The prior four ages resulted in humans identifying with the fundamental elements of the material, physical, mental, and spiritual cosmos. The fifth age has to be the age when the son of the sun returns to fulfil the purpose first established at the moment of conception by First Father within First Mother. These seven entities represent the complete cosmos of the ancient world of Egypt and the Americas, as well as every other location and time in the cosmos; earth/material, water/physical, air/mental, fire/esprit, son/conscious, mother/medium, father/message."

I also overlayed the first Barbury Castle with 2008 and although not to scale, surprisingly shows a high degree of symmetry. But I can see  the son/conscious, mother/medium, father/message within the 3 circles 'outer circles of each formation.

e CC and geometry is outstanding in its intent, its narrative and the other things it's yet to reveal.

The music was constructed using a spiral of gold

en rectangles based on the Fibonacci ratio, so the artwork reflects this and integrates the musical and mathematical ratios (Pythagorean comma and Fibonacci) with the notion of a spiral expanding ever outwards.

If one imagines looking down from above at the snake depicted on this flag, one can see a similar image in the crop circle I referenced.  Head in centre with small circle being the eye, wound around 4 times and three circular rattles at the end of the coil.  Perhaps I am reaching but it was what I saw from the minute the circle was posted. Thanks for entertaining my less than scientific idea.

In the formation of the Barbury Castle of PI, there is the 666 number. In gematria, where the number 6 is used, A=6, B=12, etc,

on up to Z=156. I took every single day of the year and added them up. "Example"  January first = 972, January second = 900, all the way to December thirty first, which = 1362. But there is only one day of the year that = 666, and that day is May first. May is 234, the reverse number of time, and first is 432, the forward number of time, added together = 666. Did you know that on May first, 1776, the illuminati was formed. I went another step higher on the gematria scale to where the numbers are more meaningful. A=6, B=18, C=36, on up to Z, which = 2106. To me, the letter S resembles a DNA strand, And a wave form.S = 1140. If you take the 1991 DNA crop circle on August eighteenth, this day adds up to 1140 of the calendar year. Now take 666 from 2106, you get 1140. For you to understand this you must see my diagram. What really makes this whole thing quite interesting is that I was born on May First. Also, take the word Maya, I see May and the letter A, A=6, which is man, My interpretation is May Man. Check this out...

PS Sorry, I made a mistake on the numbers I sent previously, 2106 - 666 = a 1440 tetrahedron, not the 1140 tetrahedral number, but in the diagram, they both are in the same location, as is the year 2012.
