The Emerald Formula of Alchemy was shown at East Field on August 25, 2008, in order to tell us about a conjunction between Saturn and our Sun nine days later on September 4, 2008

 
A seven-pointed star which appeared in crops at East Field on August 25, 2008 bears a close resemblance to the famous Emerald Formula of Alchemy, known also as Azoth of the Philosophers (see www.alchemylab.com/azoth.htm): 

 
 It was derived in turn from an even more ancient Emerald Tablet, written supposedly by Hermes Trismegistus before the Flood (see www.alchemylab.com
 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Tablet):
"The alchemists believed that a universal formula contained in that Emerald Tablet was the basis for a spiritual technology first introduced on our planet in ancient Egypt. It consisted of seven consecutive operations to be performed on matter."

Hence the seven points of that star, which have also been used sometimes to represent the Sun, Moon, and five planets. But why did those crop artists show us the Emerald Formula on August 25, 2008? Well, it was surrounded in the field by nine balls at seven different locations. If we count forward nine days from August 25, we arrive at September 4, 2008. Did anything significant happen on September 4, 2008? Consulting a NASA website, we find (see http://soc.jpl.nasa.gov/viewing.cfm):

"Saturn will line up in conjunction with our Sun on September 4, 2008. Northern observers may spot Saturn in the evening twilight in early August, but it will be lost to a nearby solar glare by the middle of August."
 
Looking again at that seven-pointed star (see above), it turns out that its downward arrow (which matches point 1 from the Emerald Formula) shows a fairly good representation of the traditional symbol for planet Saturn. Three nearby bars could represent the planets Mercury, Mars and Venus, which were also close to our Sun in early September.
 
The most fundamental Hermetic axiom of "as above, so below" was derived long ago from that same Emerald Tablet (see http://altreligion.about.com/od/hermetictradition1/a/emtablet.htm). So by showing us what was happening in Earth's sky, while at the same time showing us on the ground a seven-pointed star for the Emerald Formula, seems extremely clever!
 
The Emerald Tablet (or Stone) received its most recent popularization in a book by Kiernan Antares called Phoenix Star. In that book, "the heroine Maya is driven to discover her connection to a prophecy about the Emerald Stone. It holds the power to create a change required for humanity to survive a rare astronomical alignment on December 21, 2012. She is one of four chosen ones destined to activate the Stone, which will give birth to the Phoenix Star, and lift humanity to a higher level of enlightenment"

Reconstruction of the
2008 East Field (4) formation

By Zef Damen


East Field of August 25 closely resembles the notes of Sir Isaac Newton on alchemy

A long forgotten "Emerald Formula of Alchemy" was shown at East Field on August 25, 2008, by means of a characteristic seven-pointed star which traditionally has represented that formula. It stands symbolically for (a) seven steps by which to convert base metals into gold, or (b) seven steps to spiritual transformation. During medieval times, it also gained a third meaning as (c) seven bright heavenly objects in Earth's sky, namely the Sun, Moon and five major planets.

 
According to that last meaning, its primary arm "1" stands for planet Saturn, which lined up with our Sun on September 4, 2008. Yet because East Field was scheduled to be harvested somewhat earlier, they laid down that seven-pointed star on August 25, and then surrounded it by nine spiral balls (in seven locations) as if to say: "wait nine days for the indicated astronomical event".
 
Now this was not some New Age kind of mysticism, carved into the field late at night by human fakers with boards! The Emerald Formula and its seven-pointed star have a long and respected history in Earth culture. Its most recent scientific proponent was Sir Isaac Newton, who drew the Emerald Formula and its related Lapis Philosophicus in his private notes. Indeed, while not busying himself with the invention of optics, a reflecting telescope, gravity or calculus, Newton spent a great deal of time probing into alchemy (see www.world-mysteries.com/wm_dwp_phstone.htm):  

 
"The Emerald Tablet was an ancient text written on green stone, purporting to reveal a secret of the primordial substance or Prima Materia. It was said to be the work of Hermes Trismegistus from ancient Egypt, and was regarded by European alchemists to be the foundation of their art" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald_Tablet).

"The Philosopher's Stone or Lapis Philosophicus was a legendary substance, supposedly capable of turning base metals into gold. From a spiritual viewpoint, creating a Philosopher's Stone would bring enlightenment, and would complete the Great Work" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher%27s_stone).

"The Great Work is a term from medieval alchemy that refers to transmutation of base metals into gold, or to creation of a Philosopher's Stone. It is sometimes used as a metaphor for spiritual transformation" (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnum_opus)
 


Now what was the point of those crop artists showing us an ancient and long-forgotten symbol for chemical alchemy in East Field on August 25? No serious scientist believes today that one can turn base metals into gold, except perhaps in a powerful nuclear reactor. Their intent was therefore more probably spiritual. Thus, the cryptic text from that ancient Emerald Tablet told us essentially to become more aware of a subtle, hidden spiritual world as a true means to enlightenment. One translation goes as follows:

"Become subtle and know the heavenly. Then come back to Earth and you will perceive the subtle. You will achieve the glory of merging with the One, and rid yourself of ignorance."
 
Sir Isaac Newton, a master of classical languages, translated that Tablet to mean:
 
"That which is below is like that above, while that which is above is like that below. Separate fire from Earth, subtle from gross, sweetly with great industry. It ascends from Earth to heaven, then descends again to Earth, and receives the force of all things. By this means you will gain the glory of the whole world, and obscurity will fly from you. It conquers every subtle thing, and penetrates every solid thing."
 
But isn't that what Lao Tsu taught in ancient China about the Tao? Or what modern physicists call the zero-point energy? New subatomic particles can emerge from that unseen, penetrating sea of background energy. Nicola Tesla wished to power the entire world from it. Adherents of the Big Bang theory believe that our entire universe once emerged from it. Could there be some mechanistic link between modern quantum physics and the unseen spiritual world? Is that where spirits live, as an alternative life form to our own?
 
Daniel Pinchbeck commented in 2003:

"Reality, as you currently experience it, is something like a waking dream. It is only a projection or interface, disguising deeper levels of being and knowing. For those who are ready and willing, the doors to those other levels now stand open. The task of human existence is to transform the Earth: to reconcile spirit with matter.
 
But be forewarned, because the end of time approaches. The return of Quetzalcoatl foreshadows an imminent closing of the cycle, and a completion of the Great Work" (see www.breakingopenthehead.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-2525.html).
 
The "Great Work"? I cannot help but wonder whether this is the spiritual transformation that has been promised for us in late 2012. Will we all become more aware of a hidden spiritual world, and less concerned about money?

REPORT: 

This circle formation was first sighted in the very early morning of August 25th 2008. The diameter of the overall formation is approximately 500 feet. 

This field was being harvested as we were at the scene so time was limited for a very close inspection of the circle.  

On the ground all the laid mature wheat crop within the formation was generally very neatly swept down to the ground. However, a significant amount of random damage to the formation was very apparent and was considered to be consistent with previous visitor activities. “Construction lines” and key points within the formation were also noted as being randomly crushed.  Due to the number of visitors to the circle, and time restraints no clear objective conclusions were reachable at the site. 

Many thanks to the Carson family for allowing access to the circle. 

Charles R Mallett.

Fantastic 7 way Mayan spear  resolution. The all seeing eye is an ancient symbol for the pineal gland. The symbology seems to me to represent the opening of the pineal gland.

First initial reaction is " The emergence of the New World Order " The distinctive American dollar symbol in the centre of the formation is apparent , the rest of the formation points out an unforgettable piece of history. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we get a final formation in the first week of  September. State of the art formation but stark in information.

The inner triangle represents the head of fish moving in a Westerly direction. The triangle behind the head of the fish (with the designs) is the gills and moving tail. The two triangles on either side of the body are fins. The fish has completed 3 weeks of a 7 week journey. It will arrive at its destination in 4 weeks. That is the meaning of the circles. They represent 7 revolutions of the sun (a week). The circles behind the fish are completed weeks. The circles in front of the fish are weeks in the future. The journey will be over when all of the circles are behind the fish and the fins next to and in front of the fish have moved to the location of the fins which are behind the fish. The triangles next to and in front of the head represent movements of the fins which need to be accomplished. Four more weeks until the fish arrives at its destination in the West.If you notice, this fish looks like an angelfish. “And the first angel sounded the trumpet, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast upon the earth; and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.” (Rev.8:7) Four weeks.

I just checked to see what happened on August 4 (three weeks before the date that the circle appeared.) Wikipedia says that this was the date of the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The date of the diaspora of the Jews.
Ta dum dum.

Also, there are seven angels with seven trumpets in Revelations. These kick off the end of the world. At the sounding of the seventh trumpet, “The temple of God in heaven was opened, and there was seen the ark of his covenant in his temple, and there came flashes of lightning, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake, and great hail.” So this design could be referring to the period from the destruction of the earthly temple (Aug. 4) to the opening of the heavenly temple.

Just a couple more thoughts. Four weeks from August 25 is September 22. This is the date of the Fall equinox this year. That means that the sun will set directly in the West on that date (arrival time of fish in the West). And, it has been 7 years and 11 days since 9/11/2001. Here’s something even more sketchy, but I’ll throw it in anyway. That date is called Mabon by witches/pagans, which alludes to Nostradomas/ Mabus.
The Christians replaced the pagan celebration with the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, the leader of the angels who battled against Satan. Of course the fish is an ancient symbol of Christ and Christians.

third eye had better open swiftly and I think that’s what’s being shown in this crop circle.

27|Aug|2008 24

If you look at the large circle containing the fish, it bisects seven other circles around the perimeter. Each fin or point of the fish touches one of these circles. Then if you assume that each of these circles is a globe, there is an area between the northern hemisphere land masses where the oceans would lie. This area sort of looks like seven arrows pointing at the fish. These arrows also look like seven crosses. Actually, they appear to be a particular kind of cross– a Celtic cross. The Celtic cross has a circle at the top, and therefore if you outlined it, it would look a lot like these arrows. There is a place on earth were there were at one time seven “high” crosses. This place is in County Clare in Ireland called Kilfenora. Kilfenora lies at the southern edge of a place called the Burren. The Burren is aprox 500 sq kilometres of solid limestone rock containing many Neolithic burial sites. This could echoes the idea of “all of the green grass being burnt up.” In ancient times this area was agricultural , but this is no longer possible as it now possesses no top soil, only rock. At one time it was under the sea, but now it is arid.

The time of the arrival of the fish (September 22) , besides being the Autumn equinox is also widely recognized as the time of the Fall harvest. Maybe the message is the warning of a poor harvest.

September means “seventh month” because it was the seventh month in the old Roman
calendar. September was dedicated to the god Vulcan, the god of fire. “And the
third part of the earth was burnt up.”

This is also the time of year (late September and early October) that the Jews celebrate their New Year, Rosh Hashanah. …In the seventh month, on the first of the month, there shall be a sabbath for you, a remembrance with shofar blasts, a holy convocation. -Leviticus 16:24 The arrows/crosses could also look like horns. The shofar is used in Scripture to announce the coronation of a king (1 Kings 1:39, Psalm 47:5, Psalm 98:6). Because of the significance of the number 7, Tishri being the seventh month, 7 being the number of completion, it is thought that Tishri is the yearly anniversary of God’s completion of creation - marking the anniversary of the coronation of the King of the Universe, the commemoration of the sixth and final day of creation, the day on which God created man.

It is believed that on Rosh Hashanah, three books are opened up in heaven, based on an idea expressed in Hosea 14:1-9. Those who have returned to God are inscribed in the Book of Righteousness. Those who are wholly wicked, and destined for destruction are inscribed in the Book of the Wicked. All others are recorded in the third book and have ten more days in which to repent. The fate of every individual for the coming year is then determined on Yom Kippur. The destiny of every individual for the coming year is said to be preordained on this day.

The period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is called “The Ten Days of Repentance,” during which people have the opportunity to atone for their sins.

Would God choose to begin the destruction of the world on the day which commemorates the completion of creation?

Seven has always been a mystical/sacred number. There are seven days in Creation, seven days in the week, seven graces, seven deadly sins, seven divisions in the Lord’s Prayer, and seven ages in the life of man, and the seventh son of a seventh son and in the lore of folk magic, the seventh son of a seventh son is believed to be born with formidable magical and healing powers. Among the Hebrews, every seventh year was sabbatical, and seven times seven years was the jubilee. The three great Jewish feasts lasted seven days; and between the first and second were seven weeks. Levitical purifications lasted seven days. In the Apocalypse, there are seven churches of Asia, seven candlesticks, seven stars, seven trumpets, seven spirits before the throne of God, seven horns, seven vials, seven plagues, a seven-headed monster, and the Lamb with seven eyes. There are seven seas: the Arctic and Antarctic, North and South Pacific, North and South Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean. Ancient astronomers/astrologers recognized only seven planets. There are many other associations with the number seven, I’m only listing a few.

My husband pointed out that the seven circles descending from the large circle look like cornucopias, another symbol of the harvest.
And, I forgot to mention that the crosses which appear to be Celtic crosses also look like Roman Catholic crosses which are covered

Judy

27|Aug|2008 26

I forgot to mention that the crosses which I described as Celtic crosses/shofars also look like Roman Catholic crosses which are covered during the last two weeks of Lent (Passion week and Holy week). These weeks delineate the Catholic High Holy Days (as it were), the most solemn and penitential days of the Catholic calendar. So the holiest and most penitential time of both the Christian and the Jewish year is depicted in the circle.

This will be my last post. I think that this is a very odd crop circle. I have looked at many, but I have never seen another one like this one. Usually there is nothing that could be so easily interrpreted symbolically as there is in this one. I’m just going to summarize what I believe this means. The crop circle is delineating a period of time (either actually or symbolically) that covers the period from August 4 (the destruction of the temple of Jerusalem/the diaspora) until September 22 (the fall equinox/harvest festival/Michaelmas/Rosh Hashanah). The circle is a warning to repent. Just as the equinox equally divides the day and the night, the light and the dark, something is about to happen which will sift the good from the evil in a decisive manner. Just as the Shofar and the Cross of Christ call one to repentance, this circle is calling for repentance before the angel blasts the trumpet signaling the beginning of the end. If I’m interpreting it correctly, 1/3 of all the earth will be “burned up.” The new landscape will resemble the area of the Burren in Ireland. I believe this is going to happen on September 22.

When the walls come a tumbling down: Joshua 6:4-5 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
