What started life, on the 11th of July, as a vast but nevertheless simple ring of flattened corn in a Cambridgeshire wheat field has now morphed, several times in fact, into what can only be described as a mind stretching, paradigm shifting orgasmagram of the very highest order. Such is the beauty and scale of these combined events that, for me, they represent a quite unprecedented, unique and awe inspiring occurrence that demands serious attention from all quarters, will such attention be forthcoming? I
doubt it.
If
size matters, disappointment will not be an option.
First
came the big ring, and my, is it big. Spanning a massive and potentially
rather ominous 666’ ft diameter. (This figure is not an
approximation). Most of the field has been used in the creation of this
formation making it one of the most expansive crop glyphs in the brief
history of the circle phenomenon. Alone a ring of this size would be
considered a major logistical event worthy of some considerable
admiration. To my amazement the ring itself repeated the same numbers in
its width that were found in the overall diameter of the formation, with
the tape measure pulling tight at exactly 18’ ft, (now we’re in
trouble!) At the center of the mighty ring is a beautifully swirled
circle with a diameter of 45’ ft. This also arrived as part of the
initial, stage one event.

a week later the Magog field took its second hit with the arrival of a
most elegant, 237’ ft dia, labyrinth that is positioned just inside
the inner edge of the stage one ring. A very fine wall of standing
wheat, just a few stems thick, separates the maze from the ring itself.
This labyrinth seems to be crafted out of the ripe wheat with an
attention to detail not seen for some years in the crop fields of
England. Every aspect of the winding walkway has been finished with a
razor sharp edge that gives one the impression that whatever is
responsible for this awesome creation has a fanatical zeal for absolute,
total perfection, no less. At the center of the labyrinth a standing
ring of crop is positioned within the central circle, offset from center
by a considerable degree. The purpose of this is not clear but
nevertheless is a fine detail worthy of our admiration. Walking through
this network of 3’ ft dia. paths left me in no doubt that the agency
that created this marvel is able to gain absolute control over the
chosen area and seemingly does, with ease, what I would consider, near
impossible. On the ground the entire laid crop area has the appearance
of a slightly rippling carpet flowing throughout the whole maze with a
consistency and fluidity that is obliviously the result of a single and
masterful hand, not a stalk out of place. This effect is consistent
throughout the whole three stages of the overall formation and is, for
me, an excellent example of what a real crop glyph looks and feels like.
Subjectively the labyrinth aspect of the formation was a huge pleasure
to visit and has worked an almost tangible magic on those others
fortunate enough to have had interaction with this high work. Some
days later the second addition arrived on the scene. Wow, this one is a
real left-brain killer. From an aerial perspective a kind of step
pyramid is now seen rising out of the field next to the maze. At ground
level this is a bizarre sight, six standing square-ish walls of wheat
with rounded corners, each eighteen inches thick fit together to produce
a most amazing design concept, very much in keeping with the uniqueness
and originality of the overall formation. The quality of construction,
as with the labyrinth, shows absolutely no compromise whatsoever. There
is no doubt that the same agency that produced the ring and maze has
returned to the field to work the same magic once again, stunning. At
the center of this crafted temple the crop has been laid down in such a
way so as to create a shining, four-sided apex stone, very effective
indeed. It
is rather interesting to note the positioning of the two major
formations within the ring thing. First the maze arrives and takes up a
quarter of the inner expanse of standing crop. Next the steps come down,
or possibly up, next to the maze, thus using up another quarter of the
available space. This suggests that we are possibly in for another
couple of major events at this site. I
spent two nights in this formation hoping for just that, alas it
didn’t happen; nevertheless the rewards were very rich indeed in other
more subtle ways. Who
the hell are Gog & Magog? UPDATE “Then
I saw an angel come down from heaven with the key of the Abyss in his
hand and an enormous chain. He
overpowered the dragon, that which is the devil and Satan and chained
him up for a thousand years………When the thousand years are over,
Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive all
the nations in the four quarters of the earth, GOG AND MAGOG and
mobilize them for war. His
armies will be as many as the sands of the sea; they will come swarming
over the entire country and besiege the camp of the saints, which is the
city that God loves. But fire will come down on them from heaven and consume them.
Then the devil, who misled them, will be thrown into the lake of
fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their
torture will not stop, day or night, for ever and ever.” ©
