LENDING YOUR SUPPORT & THANK-YOU
We could not continue to record this
phenomenon with out your help. It is though the sale of our books and
pictures that we raise enough funds for aerial photography. Steve’s pictures are
invaluable as research tools as
well as being an important part of being able to bring the circles to a wider audience. We
would like to thank all
of you who buy our yearbooks; you will helping to continue the task of aerial surveillance
of the crop circles and
the spread of information about this unique phenomenon.

CROP CIRCLES:
THE INTELLIGENCE OF HARMONY By Karen Douglas. It has become my firm belief that the significance of the crop circle mystery lies within our experience of them and our interaction with them, more specifically, our ability to become sensitive enough to that process that we might, in turn, make some valid interpretation of them.
I am also becoming increasingly aware that, perhaps, the only instruments that might be truly valid in this search for significance might be our own five senses. Plus maybe one other, which we currently know little of, but one which the crop circles could (by their very nature) be seen to be particularly designed to evoke.
TEMPORARY TEMPLES FOR THE MODERN AGE – Crop Circles as Sacred Art – Ground breaking work linking crop circles with ancient sites, renaissance science and sacred artistic traditions. - By Karen Douglas
ANCIENT SITES:
FALKNER’S STONE – "There is a little known stone circle that lies to the North West of the Avebury Stone Avenue. There is now only one remaining stone and it was discovered by Mr Falkner, of Devizes, in 1840 along with two other fallen stones alongside it."
A VALLEY OF GREY WHETHERS – "Grey Whethers, or Fyfield Down, lies West of the Ridgeway. It can be approached from either Avebury stone circle or along the Ridgeway from the Sanctuary. It is a 2-3 mile walk from either direction, across some of the most dramatic countryside in Wiltshire. Reaching the natural high point of the area, one can look down the Fyfield valley and into Clatford Bottom. The area is richly strewn with Sarsen stones of every size, from small stones of around a foot, to huge monsters of the size used at Avebury. It is solitary, desolate, dramatic and beautiful…" By Karen Douglas & Steve Alexander
THE DEVILS DEN – "There are still some secret, private places in the Wiltshire landscape. Places of quiet pilgrimage. The Devil’s Den is one of them…" By Karen Douglas & Steve Alexander
A STONE CIRCLE AT WINTERBOURNE BASSETT? – "The ground was very soft and muddy underfoot as we made our way towards the stones, which looked like sleeping, white sheep..." By Karen Douglas & Steve Alexander
