Crop Circles Around Avebury
A recent phenomena drawing visitors to the Avebury area
 |
| Crop Circle Beneath West Kennet Long Barrow At Avebury |
In recent times more and more visitors are drawn to the Avebury area in summer months hoping to find a crop circle or two.
Avebury is on the edge of an area called the Warminster Triangle. Strange sounds, celestial lights, crop circles, electromagnetic effects, ghosts, black dogs, folklore, energy lines, ancient sites, UFO landings, humanoids, invisible walkers, geophysical strata are all part of this.
Crop circles seems to be the aspect that has most captured the imagination of the general public.
You will see crop circles in the area during the summer months only. There are specialist web sites that track down the latest discoveries.
The area around Avebury has proved a rich hunting ground in recent years.
Crop circles are patterns created by the flattening of crops, commonly wheat, barley, and oilseed rape in the Avebury area. The patterns can be very intricate and seemingly appear from nowhere with no witnesses.

Theories of how they are formed differ wildly, clearly some may be man-made. Theories stretch across the spectrum and of course there are some who put forward a connection to UFOs and such like.
More scientific explanations tend to suggest its a natural phenomenon, perhaps connected with the natural magnetism of the Earth. This would tend to tie up with the area having a dense grid of natural ley lines which are magnetic in nature.
If you go to Avebury, you can't be guaranteed a crop circle. Best to ask around in Avebury Village. Remember, nearly all the crop circles will be on private farm land.
Earth Mysteries, Earth Energies, Ley lines and Astronomical Alignments And All That
If you're into earth goddesses, pagan religions, astronomical alignments and things mystic, this is a great area to explore. You might want to make contact with Peter Knight who lives locally and lectures and write books on the subject.
