Long barrow, "fairy ring" 1998

These photographs show interesting bended plants. Rapeseed plants are very strong and break if bend mechanically. The more tender young plants show cracks on the inside in bend. I still have to come across any explanation not to accept these anomalities as "real"
The "etheric energy" inside the formation was very nice, and felt like very strong "healing energy". The etheric energy was very neatly following the formation's characteristics. The etheric energy was much stronger to me than most of the newer formations.

All photographs were taken after the rapeseed was harvested.

Two plants.

Many plants (not all good in focus).

Double bend plants.

Many bend plants, one broken.

Random "wind damage"

Last year was very "windy". Some formation were damaged and unrecognizable by "wind damage" or were totally surrounded by it. One formation (at Calne) "wind damage" and circles were combined, but I guess that some people made this formation and tried to make it seem more realistic.

The phenomenon is not very well understood and comes in many forms. Some show very much similarity with cropcircles. Most show differences in the seed germination tests, but the causing agency involved seems very chaotic as the patterns themselves.

The etheric energy inside such formations is very chaotic and usually affects my body in a negative way, but sometimes positively. The etheric energy in hoaxed formations is usually very low and vague, depending on the earth-energy-system, the plants and the "rituals" performed by the hoaxers.

Both pictures were taken from the road between Avebury and Altonbarnes.

Silbury hill formation "vortex" 1998

The formation was very interesting in the different ways of laying combined. The formation seems very hard to make, but ofcourse not impossible.
The "etheric energy" inside affected my legs very much in good sense and I took a small rest in the centre. The etheric energy was only partially consistent with the formation: it followed the edge nicely, but was more "earthly" in the centre.

This part was very straight, but the plants seem to have twisted around.
The twisting seems very difficult to replicate. In this case the crop was planted in groups, which might theoretically cause some twisting in such groups if lead mechanically. Rollers probably don't work.

The straight and twisting laying combined with a more chaotic pattern at the corners.
Because of sometimes chaotic laying, many people thought this was a hoax.

This centre was twisted around many times. Further away, one can see that the laying switches from clockwise to counter-clockwise.
It seems very difficult to replicate this part of the formation with rollers, poles, plastic-tubes, shelves or whatever. Especially the vortex like twist seems impossible to replicate. Whether it is absolutely impossible, surely needs more research.

Some of the small circles surrounding the formation had twisted centres.
These twisted centres are hard to make, and take far too much time
(you really don't want to stay until the angry farmer arrives, some do have guns).
Carefull with any conclusions: some of such features are actually made by visitors afterwards. And sometimes hoaxers try to coverup their bad layings.

My experience is that the best hoaxed formations are made with the knowledge of the farmer (or media), which gives the hoaxers more time and security.

Weaving

Some formation show interesting weaving patterns.

Scorpion like formation between Avebury and Altonbarnes.
The laying is very neat, and there are no traces of seperate lanes, except that they weave together.
In each circle of that formation the etheric energy was affecting a different part of my body in a positive way.

One of the two "Eye"-formations.
The plants seem to have twisted around and lay towards the left and towards the right.
The etheric energy affected my legs in a positive way in both formations.
(My legs did feel bad before my trip to England)..
