THE WANDLEBURY CROP CIRCLES - 2001 Report

Just west of Wandlebury Ring, within the GogMagog hills of Cambridge, a huge crop formation was discovered on 11th of July 2001. Cambridge does not get many crop circles, so to then get a second one to appear in an opposing field on 25th July was quite a shock for us locals. But this was not the end of the story. Within crop circle number one, two seperate stages were added inside the formation, on two seperate occasions.

Crop circle no.1, stage 1. The diameter was precisely 666ft wide. Not approximately. Precisely. The outer ring was 18ft wide. The centre circle was 45ft wide. Stage two a week later; A 237ft ‘maze’ design was added within the large circle. This labrynth was something else. Not only was it beautifully layed, but the wheat was at the precise height so you could not cheat your way to the middle, and there was only one way to the centre. This was the most interesting and fun crop circle I have ever witnessed. Not only did you have to use your head to get to the centre, it also taught me about patience on that maze that we call the spiritual path. This may sound obvious to some, but taking your time and always taking the longer route whilst in the maze, got you to the centre quicker.

Anyway, a few days later and there is another addition. This time it was a sort of square. From above it looked like a step-pyramid with four radiating fields of energy coming out of it. It is worth noting here that when worked on by dowser Shey Hancock, The square formation had a ‘death energy’ that one could not stay in for too long. I did not stay in it for long because I got repeatedly attacked by a massive bumble bee. The lay of the crop was fascinating though. It was in four equal triangles, but at the centre, the straight lay blended in to a perfect circular nest at the centre. On the outer ring of the huge formation he found that at just over 33 feet intervals, there were radiating energy lines from the centre. It was also found that the energy did not stay just within the circle. Shay found that it spread out into Cambridge and the surrounding countryside.

That was the first formation. But another one over the way named ‘The Angel’ also came in to existence on or around the 25th July. The diameter was also 237ft. Exactly the same size as the maze in the other formation. Coincidence? you decide. The view from the GogMagog Hills was quite breathtaking. In fact, there was one point only on the hills where you could see both formations.

Inside the ‘Angel’ was a strong and dark energy, especially near the scalp of the head of the angel. The wheat was laid as though it was a halo around the angel’s head. There was a spot where we felt uncomfortable, even nauseus, which we later found out through dowsing was a node point of energy. The harmony of the design and the beautiful lay of the wheat, combined with the still standing and very delicate poppy flowers suggested this was also a ‘real’ one.

Shey and myself worked on the formation for some time and Shey soon found a very strong ‘female’ energy current running through. He realised it was the famous ‘Mary’ line, of "The Sun and The Serpent" fame, which runs from St.Michaels Mount in Cornwall, up to the East Anglian Coast near Hopton. It appears that the formation of the circle altered the course of the Mary line slightly. Plus it actually changed direction whilst in the centre of the formation by 45 degrees, then returned to its original course. There was also a vortex point just to the top right of the head of the angel, the same ‘uncomfortable’ spot I mentioned earlier. From this node point 75 different energy signitures went inbetween the 75 flattened ‘rays’ coming out from the centre. All the rays were layed alternately facing inwards and outwards, apart from numbers 12 and 13 (if you travel anti-clockwise from the head) which both go inwards. But even more strange, they both point to the other crop circle over the way. Coincidence again? I think not.

Back to the 666 footer, and from the air you can see it is of a very similar size to Wandlebury Ring, a so called Iron -Age hill fort. There is also an ancient pond in the centre of the wandlebury Ring, which the ‘mary’ line passes straight through, which is a very similar size to the stage one event centre circle of the 666 circle. Yet another coincidence? OK, perhaps the circle makers were trying to make us look at Wandlebury. So here goes.

Although officially an Iron-Age hill-fort, archeologists have found it goes back to at least 400BC. Roman evidence was also discovered there and there is strong speculation that Queen Boudica and the Iceni Tribes were also located there at around 60AD (More on this later). As for the mythology, in the early 1900’s, children were told that the gods themselves were buried there, and even that a golden chariot was buried nearby. Another theory suggests Wandlebury was a far flung out-post of Helen of Troy. Another that it was part of King Arthurs kingdom...a kind of CAMbridge CAMelot. And as for ghost sightings there have been a many. Most notably the legend of Osbert, who had to defeat a ghostly knight within the Wandlebury Ring.

TC Lethbridge, dowser and Cambridge archeologist claimed in the 1950’s to have found an ancient chalk hill figure just outside the ditch of Wandlebury Ring. Tales of a giant having been cut in to the chalk existed for some time and he eventually found a curious picture, showing a three breasted female, astride two horses pulling a chariot, plus a gigantic sword-wielding warrior and a sun-god. All three in distinctly celtic design. Lethbridge says they were from around 200 BC, but the jury’s still out as to whether he designed and dug it himself.

When a friend of Shay Hancock dowsed the area of Wandlebury Ring a few years ago, she became convinced there was some sort of stone circle or stone structure buried deep under the surface. When Shay heard about this he dowsed it himself and got similar results, and realised it could have once been used as a major spiritual centre of south east England. He is sure it could have once have been as significant as even Avebury. It is interesting to note here that the ‘Mary’ line also passes through the Avebury stone circle.

Another factor that indicates the authenticity of Wandlebury as an ancient spiritual centre is another strong ley-line that passes through it. It starts at Wormwood Hill, a small man-made mound east of the main site that is by far one of the most powerful points of the surrounding area. It then goes through the site of the chalk hill-figures (which authenticates them slightly perhaps?), through the northern part of the Wandlebury Ring and up through several of the major sites of Cambridge. On the other side of Cambridge it reaches Girton, an area that has also had its fair share of crop circles in the past. Well, three to be precise. Two well known formations appeared here in 1996. They look like different stages of a seed sprouting. Perhaps this represented the birth of the new breed of crop circles that were starting to be created.

OK, I’m going to go slightly esoteric now which I’ve been avoiding for too long. You may or may not be aware of the work Carol Cochrane has been doing on place names where crop circles appear. It’s called Lexigramming and her results have been breathtaking to say the least. I met Carol and she showed me the technique. Basically, it's like an anagram, but with set rules that help you uncover secret meanings within words, place names, peoples names etc. It first appeared in 'Star-Signs' by top astrologer, Linda Goodman, but the practice has evolved to a new level. Anyway, Carol and myself worked on ‘Girton, Cambridgeshire’, ‘Wandlebury Ring, Cambs’ and ‘GogMagog Hills, Cambridgeshire’.

So what was found in ‘Girton, Cambridgeshire’? Well ,quite a lot actually. It contains both ‘Birth’ and ‘Seed’. Also linking to the ancient past is:‘This is Bodecia’s ancient home’ and ‘The Iceni Tribe’. Plus ‘Go to GogMagogs”. So I did. But there was much more concerning Shey’s idea of stone circles at Wandlebury than the dowsing. Check this out: Within ‘Girton, Cambridgeshire’ was: ‘Near GogMagog’s is ancient stone ring. Near the ditch (Wandlebury has huge ditch around it). Near Iceni Tribe and Bodecia’s home. Near the giants (the hill figures)’. OK this may sound a bit far out, but I had to show you this information.

So towards one end of the line is the site of the Girton crop circles, and at the other end is Wandlebury, and more significantly Wormwood Hill. This mound has been the site of quite a few strange occurances in the past. When dowsing it recently I found a major earth energy node point at the peak of the tumulus. The exact same spot myself and friends have been visiting for years. But there is more to this place than meets the eye. There have been several UFO sightings in this area and one was caught on video by the then head of the Cambridge UFO Society, Chris Massey Lynch in 1991. I’ve seen this video and it is breathtaking to say the least.

In Andrew Collins' classic book "The Circle Makers", he talks of Bill Eden, a UFO investigator who visited Wormwood Hill. “He could clearly see it (the hill) engulfed by swirling bands of lights, unseen by his colleague. Ignoring this, he stepped on to the mound, amid the vibrant coloured light, and instantly sustained a powerful headache, an intense pressure on his chest and head, a bitter metallic taste, nausea and dizziness. With this came the sound of a deep tonal note, that resonated from the ground and rose in pitch the higher he climbed. Even more curioud was the disconcerting sensation that he was about to leave his physical body through the process known as astral projection. He also saw with his psychic eyes priestly figures in saffron-coloured robes, approaching the site in ceremonial fashion”. This also indicates positively to the theory that Wandlebury Camp was used as a major spiritual centre. A theory that is currently being investigated.

So like Silbury Hill, also a man-made mound, Wormwood Hill might also have something to do with the crop circles. Andrew Collins’ Orgone energy theory is one worth investigating, especially as Wormwood Hill is such a powerful spot. I firmly believe that Wandlebury is ‘waking up’ as we speak and it will certainly open up the land to more and more crop circles in this beautiful area. One other thing. On top of the hills is a bench that we used as a meeting place and is by far the best viewing point for the huge formation. When Shey dowsed the Mary line, he found it actually went through this bench, and just to one side of it, it crossed another Ley which went down to the huge formation. These two formations and that bench have acted as a meeting place for like minded people in the Cambridge and Shey has already done one lecture on the Cambridge formations. Myself and Shey have some more lined up for the imminent future (check the website). Aerial map of Wandlebury and Gog Magog Hill

So how do we tie all these connections up? Firstly, the theory and feeling that there may be some sort of monolith, stone circle or similar structure is interesting when you check the hidden meanings in the place names. In ‘Girton, Cambridgeshire is:‘The Gogmagogs, near the ditch. Dig the dirt and there it is. The Stone ring’. Also ‘Near the one tree’, Wormwood Hill has one sacred tree at its peak. Is there anything in this? I don’t know. But I feel it needs properly investigating. The few lexigrams I've shown you are just the tip of the iceberg (more at the next lecture).

So, with all this activity going on at this site, we are convinced there is something to be discovered at Wandlebury. Maybe a maze, maybe a stone circle, maybe a golden Chariot. Who knows? Maybe nothing? Maybe it’s all happening in Cambridge because there is now a strong interest in these things. Maybe it’s helping us city dwellers get back to nature, the place we are supposed to be anyway. Perhaps the crop circles do all this to us, maybe that's their purpose. They have certainly woken Cambridge up from its slumber. Plus, as Carol Cochrane pointed out to me, both ‘Wandlebury Ring, Cambs’ and ‘GogMagog Hills, Cambridgeshire’ both contain the lexigrammed words “Sacred marriage”. A marriage of what though? A marriage of male and female earth energies? The marriage of heaven and Earth? Or a sacred marriage of us Humans to our Mother Earth? The one we’ve all be waiting for. I know which I think is true.

    The Gog Magog Hills 666 Ring Crop Formation of 2001

    Exactly two months prior to the 9-11-2001 attacks, a 666 foot ring with a 45 foot circle in the center appeared as a crop formation at Gog Magog Hills of Cambridge -- on 11 July 2001. The number 45 is the Hebrew Gematria of Adam, and related to the Divine Name, YHWH. A week later, a maze type formation was added within the ring, and then a step-pyramid type formation appeared a few days later, also inside the ring. A so-called "Angel" crop formation appeared around 25 July in the same area.

    It was noted that the names Gog and Magog appear in the Book of Revelation. There is also a Wormwood Hill in the area, recalling the Wormwood star of Revelation. Atop Wandlebury Hill, is the ancient Iron Age hill fort known as Wandlebury Ring.

    According to the Wikipedia page, the dowser and archaeologist, Thomas Charles Lethbridge, claimed to have found some ancient hill figures buried in the chalk under the surface of the hills. These were purported to represent a sun-god, a moon-goddess, and a warrior-god.

    In his article, Hugh Newman tells of Carol Cochrane's idea, that lexigrammed words for the site names suggest “Sacred marriage”. I have included this here, because there are other indications of the Sacred Marriage symbolism in dreams and crop circle formations.

    According to the great scholar and interpreter, Thomas Jude Germinario, Zer Anpin is the Son, the Supernal Man of the Kabbalah, the Messiah of the Jews, and the Christ of the Gentiles. His Bride, and the Queen of His Kingdom, is Malkut, sphere 10, at the bottom of the Tree of Life. This relates to the Shechinah, God’s feminine Presence in the material World. The Shechinah is associated with the Holy Spirit. Her symbols include cloud and fire. For example, in Exodus 13:21, She appears as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, to lead the people. An aspect of Shechinah is the feminine Neshamah, a collective Soul. Malkut is the Womb within which individual Souls are incrementally assembled to constitute the universal Soul -- She who is to be, at the end of Time, the Bride of Zer Anpin, the Supernal Man.

    In terms of the triple numbers covered in this article, it seems to be a message of advancing from a karmic 666 stage, to the more balanced and positive 777 stage, followed by another new beginning, symbolized by 888. The stages compare symbolically to the six days of creation followed by the day of rest, followed by a new creative stage. A destructive aspect of creations is involved, probably at the end of the 666 stage. Each individual probably evolves through these symbolic stages, but a collective level of development also seems to be suggested.

    The 777 stage seems to be symbolically related to the central circle of the Seed of Life, which probably associates with the Bridegroom, Zer Anpin. The Divine Marriage, like Hieros gamos, of the Bridegroom and Bride, represent the harmonization of opposites. It also seems to symbolize the uniting of Heaven and Earth.

    Bill Eden was NOT the person experiencing this phenomenon, he was in fact only the "colleague" of that person.
