UPDATE
Without doubt this is a simple flower
design that has a distinctive Kentish feel about it. Geometrically
it's based upon a "Seed of Life" figure, that forms part of
an age-old compass exercise that's known collectively as the "Genesis
Geometry". All that's missing is the actual "seed" itself, for right
in the centre circle a six-petalled flower-seed would have appeared if
all the outer circles surrounding it were completed.
SEED OF LIFE
Those that have managed to visit it speak
highly of it. Apparently all the circles are quite neatly laid, and of
particular interest is the beautiful sweep into a raised centrepiece
that's to be found in the main circle. Having said that, when you view
the overhead it doesn't look quite as well defined as perhaps
we might've wished for...
This formation continues an alignment
that's formed entirely by the positions of past formations. Beginning
with the
Boxley event of 2005, the line heads approximately for five
miles NW until it slices through the
Nashenden Farm formation of 2004.
It then crosses over the old "North Downs Way" pilgrim track to link
up with the "Borstal Bubble Ring" of 2001, before finally jumping over
into the next field along that's hosting the new circle. We must also
mention that this is the first time we have known a formation to have
appeared in this field which coincidently or otherwise, lies right
next to the "Pilgrims Way".
As with 90% of all other Kent formations
we find that once again one of our ancient pilgrim tracks has been
acknowledged. This new formation is also carrying on with the
other old Kent tradition of throwing the numbers three and six at our
feet.
Over the years a few have related the
strange experience of wishing for a circle to appear in a chosen
field, in a certain place etc, only to find that within hours or days
their wish has been granted. I'll spare you the details, but it looks
like on this occasion I've just joined them!
