This is going to be a bumper harvest year for the farmers with a wonderful mixture of sun and rain at just the right times to allow the crops flourish.

However, this has been a most extraordinary summer with virtually no circles compared to other years. Several have appeared in Hampshire where they made their comeback in the early 70s, 80s and 90s. They have predominantly appeared close to ancient sites such as Iron Age Hill Forts. Such sacred places have always attracted the circles, being located on the energy lines crossover points.

I am attaching two circles that have arrived in Hampshire since last writing.

Another problem has been that apart from two circles, entry has not been allowed. Here I think we need to understand that the crops lie on private land and are the farmers’ livelihood, no matter how annoying it may be to us. Sadly some people go in regardless with the result that if the farmer sees them, he will cut the circle out. As you can imagine, this situation has created a problem with my tours for the first time in over 20 years therefore I was not surprised to receive a few cancellations. However, many people have never visited special areas of sacred sites in Wiltshire and I took two lovely tours which were much enjoyed by everyone. All these places are situated uniquely in this ancient landscape and as we walked this venerable soil we were treading the footsteps of our forefathers.

We started by going up Waden Hill from whence we could see Silbury Hill below us; also a fantastically panoramic view revealed itself of that part of sacred Wiltshire. It was a gentle climb and worth every drop of our energy. Wild flowers abounded and the peace was amazing.

We then walked to the remarkable stone complex of Avebury, very close by. We wandered among the magnificent stones and I taught many people how to dowse. We could have stayed much longer but we were already late for our lunch booking at a local pub. Whilst we were at Avebury, we discussed how important it was to give energy back to the stones. Many have been depleted by people unwittingly draining and taking their energy. They are receivers and transmitters but some have little original energy left and need us to replenish it. You can do this by focusing your energy of Love using your rods as a focussing agent or simply directing your healing love from your third eye located in between your eyes.

Avebury is a most uniquely special stone complex; the only inhabited one in the world and as the antiquarian 17th century historian William Stukley wrote ‘If Stonehenge is a Church, Avebury is a Cathedral.’.

A member of my group, Stephan Gaude very kindly sent me the two images below. If you zoom into the first Avebury image, at the top right there is a small unidentified circular silver object. Whereas the mark at the top on the second image of West Kennet Avenue* is most likely a bumble bee or some flying insect.
* The avenue leading to Avebury often known as the Avebury Avenue or just The Avenue.

After lunch we visited the exceptionally fine crop circle exhibition at Honeystreet. You may be interested to know that, just as when you are inside a circle and absorbing the vibrations, so images also emit vibrations, and I have many reports of people having been thus affected.

Finally, we made our way up the hill to West Kennet Long Barrow, one of the very oldest in the UK dating back to 5000 years BC*. This is a very special place. It was sealed in 4000 BC and not reopened and all its rubble removed until the middle of the 19th century. Artefacts such as elaborately designed pottery, knives and flakes of flint, animal bones - and many skulls most of which showed signs of severe injuries - were found and carefully recorded by Dr John Thurnham who was medical assistant at the Devizes Asylum.
* I can thoroughly recommend Peter Knight’s book West Kennet Long Barrow, Landscape. Shamans and the Cosmos.

This was a wonderfully memorable day and we ended up with a private evening entry into the Stonehenge circle where we watched the sun set behind the giant sandstone megaliths, weathered harder than granite.

Before my next tour, I attended the Glastonbury symposium, the oldest continuous conference including crop circles dating back to 1991. Despite being tiring loading all ones goods, unloading them with wonderful help from kind people at Glastonbury and standing behind ones tables for three days, it is always a joy to see so many familiar faces coming back every year, wanting to buy my calendars and other exciting crop circle goods.

My new book was great favourite selling extremely well and my right hand became quite tired with signing! Anyone wanting to buy if from my website will have a signed copy unless they prefer otherwise. Please check it out on my website.

My Annual Scientific Research Day was held on the 17th of July and I will write a report in my Annual article when I have all the results in.

The second tour was held on the 1st August and fearing the worst I wrote to everyone a week beforehand to warn them that there were no accessible crop circles. However, the Gods were with us and a circle with most interesting lay appeared, and after eight hours researching and telephoning around to find the farmer and get his permission to go in, I was informed that entry was permitted. Wow, success at last. HOW MARVELLOUS!

It seemed a long way to drive from our meeting point at Silbury Hill, but it was worth every moment just to get inside and joy was had by all.

My next adventure was getting up at 3.40 am on Sunday in order to meet a charming American family in order to go into Stonehenge for our private early morning entry visit. This was the final stage to their world tour before heading home and included their two super children Oakley 13 and Lillian 11.

There was a most stunningly glorious sunrise as I was driving there, which unfortunately faded before we entered the stones - despite the early hour being up with the larks we were all wide awake and eager to see the magnificent megaliths; they were very special. Next we drove to the Clear Wood circle; only one other person was in the circle so early; she joined us and again it was very special being the first time the family had ever been inside a crop circle. I can remember the joy, elation and excitement of visiting my first ever crop circles, somehow it is gives one a special feeling and is like nothing one has never experienced before.

Despite the terrible weather forecast of torrential rain and winds over the next few days, I feel that we are still in for a momentous end to the season.

My love and all best wishes

In thirty years this has been the most extraordinary summer I have known. The lack of circles has been pronounced, almost to the point of non-existence. Indeed they have appeared, mainly in Hampshire, my stamping ground, where the rash of circles started to emerge in the early 1980’s. At first, mostly simple, single circles gradually appeared, evolving not only in complexity but in location - and a few poor ones made by notorious Doug and Dave - with Wiltshire becoming the main hub of activity over the years.

I wonder how we view this phenomenon? Personally, I believe there is a consciousness - maybe linking the human mind to this crop circle Consciousness - a Cosmic, Universal Consciousness. As interest grew so the number of circles increased, just as the complexity, symbolism and geometry became more apparent. The more they were welcomed, the number seemed to increase rising to a crescendo of circles in 1998 when I recall photographing over 60 circles - a truly bumper year. In subsequent years the number I recorded was in the 50’s and 40’s, gradually declining to the 30’s and decreasing each year since.

What is the reason for this decline? As the rise in the number of circles so the number of visitors increased, becoming a worldwide phenomenon but - at the same time, over enthusiastic visitors were not always aware that it was private land and the crops are the farmer’s livelihood. And so the majority of farmers gradually decided that they needed to protect their fields; another factor was the hoaxing element; groups appeared in greater number testing their skills without any thought for the poor farmers who were starting to feel beleaguered. However, this decline did not deter the phenomenon as many mind-blowing events have graced our land regardless. Could the Press, including some big press names, also be held responsible for this decline as they regularly featured the hoaxers in their press releases? (A scientific paper I once sent up was ignored by all)

How do we know which is a genuine circle? That becomes a matter of experience in knowing how to discern the tell-tale signs and what to look for, BUT you need to be one of the very first people in the circle in order to conduct a physical examination before the crop is trampled and evidence unwittingly destroyed. Getting into a circle to scrutinise it early is almost impossible now, so I rely on the results of my scientific research and the glaringly obvious extraordinary geometry of such unimaginable complexity, perfection and accuracy that is it has to be any beyond human involvement.

I am going to show you the circles that have appeared in Hampshire and one in Wiltshire since I last wrote:

Littleton, Hampshire 3 June 2019. I entered the field with a musician friend with the farmer’s permission. It was a glorious early summer’s day.

I found the exquisite little poppies poking their heads up through the barley.

I walked all the way round the hill fort a couple of years ago. The view was immense. Built in the 6th century BC the fort was in use for almost 500 years.

We are told that ‘...with the permission of the site's owner, Hampshire County Council, archaeological excavations began in 1969 and continued until 1988. Over the twenty seasons archaeologists spent examining the site, they looked at the defences and the gateway, and excavated 57% of the interior, where the remains of wattle and timber houses were discovered. It was the lengthiest investigation of any hill fort in western Europe.’

The hill fort was surrounded by poppies. I read that ‘Yarnbury Castle is located in an area of unimproved grassland on the upper chalk north of the Wylye Valley, and on the edge of Salisbury Plain, which is the largest remaining area of calcareous grassland in north-west Europe. The local area supports a rich and diverse grassland flora, which led to it being declared a biological Site of special scientific Interest in 1951.’ Dating to some 100 years BC the main earthworks showed signs of habitation over the ages with evidence of wooden structures, bones, pottery. Celtic and later Roman coins.

The most exquisite one of all to date was found in Büren an der Aare, near Bern, Switzerland.

A fortnight ago I took four charming and interesting Australians on a tour. They did not mind that there were no crop circles; they wanted to visit places of power, especially sites where many crop circles had appeared over the years. Our first stop was Hackpen where legend tells us that at certain times of the year, the hill opens up and wonderful music is heard. Small people invite you to enter and join the fun and when you come out the next morning you are never quite the same again.

There are three copses that grace the skyline at Hackpen. We walked all along the path to the field where many wondrous circles have been found and on the way back to the car we entered the first copse. We felt it was enchanted and magical and we spent some considerable time among the trees. Next, I drove us to Barbury Castle where again many circles have appeared including the amazing Pi to the power of nine formation in 2008. Barbury Castle is a massive Iron Age Hill Fort and in the past it has taken me a morning to walk around. Our last stop before lunch was East Field, the field where more than 100 circles have appeared over the years.

We had lunch at the excellent Honey Street Café before visiting the exceptionally fine crop circle exhibition in the same location. It has been brilliantly and expertly put together by Monique Klinkenberg from Holland and takes you through much of the history of the phenomenon supported by super photographs and drawings. Our final visit was to the wonderful ancient Neolithic West Kennett Long Barrow which like so many of the sacred places in that area is full of history as it lies in the landscape of our forefathers. The group had brought their singing bowls; bowls of pure crystal. We held a ceremony in the special spot where the acoustics are of quite unusual quality. It was such a wonderful finale to a remarkable day.

It seems as though we are more than half way through the crop circle season already, maybe they will come all in a rash.

Both my tours are fully booked and all we need are a few circles!!

However, we are lucky to have already been blessed and I remain an essential optimist.

If you would like to know more about this miraculous, teasing and mercurial phenomenon please have a look at my book and I will be very happy to sign it for you.

With my love and all best wishes,

Lucy.
