After an absence of some nine years, the Circlemakers have provided another kabblistic gift for all of us to share, and indeed a rather personal event for myself.

 The last event connected to judiasm appeared in 1999 at Barbury Castle, nr Wroughton which included the entire Kabbalah or 'Tree of Life' design.  

From the central element of the 2008 event we can clearly view the Jewish Kabballah, which literally means “receiving” 

What a befitting symbolism, for we have certainly received another masterpiece in the landscape. This latest event is a little more subtle in its meaning than its 1999 counterpart, as the tree itself can be witnessed although slightly hidden from view due to the perimeter design.  

What is intriguing about this design is the part of the tree which is partially hidden. The outer perimeter rings attached to the design, could represent the 12 signs of the Zodiac, which are part of the Rosy Cross of The Golden Dawn. However as the tree repeats itself within the central part of the formation, it demonstrates that four degrees are always partially hidden.  

Within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn there are 10 degrees based on the ten degrees of the Sephiroth from the Qabalah (Kabbalah).

The main emphasis and motive of passing through the degrees was to develop the personality through the higher self, and achieve god  like status by identifying with universal energies and archetypes. The Malkuth which is the 10th degree is at the base of the Tree of Life, with the 1st and 2nd and 3rd degrees also partly hidden from view. These are the Keter (Will) Chochmah (wisdom) and Binah (understanding)
 

 Interesting that all of these aspects of humanity have to improve if indeed we are to understand our place in the universe.

The science of solar eclipses: total or annular eclipses were shown schematically at North Down on June 10 or Ridgeway on June 15, in relation to an astronomical Saros cycle that lasts for 18 years and 11 days

 
Solar eclipses are produced when our Moon comes directly between Sun and Earth, so that rays of light from the Sun are partly or entirely blocked (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse). They can be predicted by means of an 18-year astronomical periodicity known as the "Saros cycle"
(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saros_cycle).
 
How might this work? Well, the synodic cycle of our Moon lasts for 29.53059 days, and describes different phases such as new, crescent or full. Meanwhile, the draconic cycle of our Moon lasts for 27.21222 days, and describes when it passes through an imaginary plane defined by Earth and Sun. When those two cycles coincide, we can see an eclipse!
 
It turns out that synodic cycle multiplied by 223 months equals precisely the draconic cycle multiplied by 242 months. In other words (29.53059 x 223) = 6585.32 days, while (27.21222 x 242) = 6585.36 days. The whole number 6585 equals 18 years and 11 days, but we still have one-third of a day left over. That is because both calculated values end in decimal fractions of 0.32 or 0.36, which lie close to 0.33 or one-third (see http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsaros/SEsaros.html).
 
Thus from a theoretical perspective, one might expect to see the same kind of solar eclipse once every 18 years and 11 days. Yet each successive eclipse should be located one-third of a day (or 120 degrees of longitude) further around the Earth than its predecessor. That seems to be what those crop artists were trying to teach us at North Down on June 10, 2008:
 
 
There we can see planet Earth looking down from the North Pole, as shown previously at West Kennett Longbarrow on June 9 (Click HERE ). The geographical locations of three successive eclipses within any 18-year Saros cycle have been labelled as "t1, t2, t3" or as "a1, a2, a3". Those three symbols "t" represent total solar eclipses, where all light from our Sun is blocked completely by the Moon (upper right). Those three symbols "a" represent annular solar eclipses, where only some of the light from our Sun is blocked by the Moon, leaving a bright ring or annulus (lower right).
 
In each case, any successive eclipse from an 18-year Saros cycle (say "t2" versus "t1", or "a2" versus "a1") lies one-third of the way around the world from its predecessor. A fairly similar crop picture appeared five days later at Ridgeway on June 15, 2008:
 
 
On the left above, we can see how total versus annular solar eclipses are produced: the Moon in one case lies closer to Earth than in the other, thereby producing a broader shadow. On the right above, we can see two outer rings of small balls that tell how far the Moon lies from the Earth for any kind of solar eclipse. A somewhat distant ring is shown for "annular", while a somewhat close ring is shown for "total".
 
Next, at the centre of that same crop picture, we can see six large circles which were clearly meant to represent six successive Saros cycles: three for total, and three for annular (see North Down above). Each large circle has been surrounded by 18 small dots to symbolize "18 years".
 
North Down and Ridgeway were the latest in a series of eight crop pictures from April to mid-June of 2008 to describe various aspects of eclipse science, in apparent anticipation of a total solar eclipse on August 1, 2008. The others appeared at Riesi (Italy) on April 20, Hackpen Hill on May 24, West Kennett on June 6, West Kennett Longbarrow on June 9, Lizzano (Italy) on June 12, or Uffington on June 13. The sum total of those many different crop pictures seems very impressive indeed, and far beyond the intellectual or technological capabilities of any hypothetical human fakers to produce.

This is the formation beside the Ridge Way more beautiful than ever with the ripe crop. This may be harvested soon. I just loved it, the feeling in there is very tranquil and sleepy. I think it is stunning. There was a group in the formation from Spain, they were really enjoying the experience. I was pleased to find that the formation was in such good condition with so many visitors.

I thought this would be interesting in regards to this particular crop circle. The Shiva Nova experiment has many hidden aspects that correspond with many of the crop circles. Please see link.

This formation strongly resembles a gasket. Gaskets are required in internal combustion engines and for other uses. The meaning of the crop circles is that gaskets will be diminishing in importance after the comet strike, probably Comet B. The outer ring depicting the coma, exhibits 24 small rings, a standard representation of gas molecules, and perhaps an allusion to gasoline. So, an absence of  gaskets and gasoline implies that gasoline-powered vehicles will be artificially declining after the comet impact, perhaps to be replaced by electric vehicles. Also, petroleum supplies may be permanently disrupted  by the strike to accelerate the switch-over time to electric vehicles.

Description: If anyone is a member of crop circle connector can they please let them know there is a new crop circle on top of the ridgeway about a quarter of a mile off the road from the Silbury side just left of the actual path. I think it appeared on Sunday the 15th ,thanks.
