How To Make Crop Circle

The nocturnal pastime of circle making was
made popular by the work of two Hampshire-
based artists, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley.
For over 12 years their simple circle sets
attracted the interest of scientists world-
wide. During this time other artists began to
emulate them, eventually superseding them, and
continued a chain reaction - mutating from the
UFO lore from which it still suckles and, in
turn, nourishes - to become what is arguably
the most mysterious 'tactile- paranormal'
phenomenon this century. In 1991, Doug &
Dave's claim to original authorship created an
atmosphere well known to theological
sociologists; that discomfirmation can lead to
strengthened belief. Consistent with previous
millenial activity, the religious use of pseudo
science to plot our destiny has reached another
high... the circles have become signs and
portents of our time.
Although the circles have appeared worldwide
in wheat, oats, spinach, grass, peas, rice,
linseed, maize, oil-seed rape, sunflowers,
mustard, barley, sugar-beet, rye, and a
multitude of other crops, most cereal artists
prefer to concentrate upon just three. These
are grown and harvested in a smooth,
overlapping progression; oil-seed rape in April
through May, barley throughout May and June,
and wheat from June until early September. In
this guide we will give you all the information
you will need to work with these plants, and
eventually, with a little practice, produce
genuine, dowsable, scientifically proven un-
hoaxable circles patterns.
Equipment
The tools you will need are relatively
unsophisticated; a 30 metre surveyors tape -
this is preferable to string which tends to
tangle easily... a 1-2 metre board or plank
with a rope attached to each end to form a
loop - this is known as a stalk-stomper...
dowsing rods - these should be made of
copper, and purchased from an expensive new
age shop, or, in an emergency, a couple of bent
coat-hangers will do... and a plastic garden
roller (available from reputable garden centres,
or, if only for occasional use, these may be
rented from tool-hire shops for about £2 a
night). A luminous watch is also useful as a
summer night can be surprisingly brief.
Preparation
1. Choose location depending upon visibility. A
field rising up from the road, or a natural
amphitheatre in full view of the road, make
perfect circles sites.
2. Dowse potential location to establish earth
energies. If a formation is located on a
powerful ley-line this will satisfy later tests
for genuineness, and aid in curative effects,
healings, orgone accumulation, angelic visions,
benign alien abduction experiences, and feelings
of general well-being. WARNING - If the
formation is situated contra-directionally to
the flow of energy, this may result in the
opposite effects; headaches, nausea, temporary
limb-paralysis, aching joints, mental illness,
deadly-orgone-radiation (DOR) exposure,
demonic visions, negative abduction scenarios
(memory loss, implant scarring, sore or
bleeding anii, navels, and genitals, etc), and
general disillusionment. With no condonement by
the authors, this may be of interest to
satanists.
3. Plan design to incorporate earth energies.
Some of you may decide to work from a
diagram, while others may wish to rely upon
spontaniety... this is purely a matter of
preference. Remember that a diagram may not
be easily read in total darkness - it is
important not to use a torch as this may be
spotted by nearby crop watchers.
4. Once location and design have been decided,
retire to a local pub and wait for darkness. If
the location is in a well known circles-prone
area you may be able to pick up useful
intelligence on the plans of the crop watchers
(cerealogists). These cerealogists are often
very public about their intentions, freely giving
information on their own view-points, hide-
outs, equipment (whether or not they have
access to infra-red image intensifiers, CB
radio operating channels, etc. They often even
divulge where they are putting their own
circles, which may prove useful. It is not
advisable to actually talk to these people as
inwardly- spiralling arguments invariably
develop which will eat into the time you have
allotted to real circle-making. This might lead
to a smaller event, therefore defeating the
object of your argument.
The Drop Off
After ensuring that you haven't been followed
from the pub, drive to the field and unload the
roller and stalk-stomper (the measuring tape
can be carried in a pocket or rucksack). Be
careful to leave the equipment in a place easily
recognisable in darkness - near a gate or
large bush, for instance. Then drive to a
sensible place and park. It is worth
remembering that an empty vehicle may arouse
suspicion if it's left in a lay-by or farm track,
or lazily by the side of the field. Our own
advice is to park in the nearest village close to
other vehicles. Then, quietly and invisibly walk
back to the field.
Creating the Formation
You will have already decided in your planning
where in the field to start your formation.
Move to this point using the relevant tram, or
tractor line. REMEMBER - Criminal damage is
an offence! Do not move through a field without
using the tram-lines.
Ritual
Before starting, a simple ritual should be
performed. Whilst not obligatory, this ritual
will assist in causing minimal damage to
individual stalks while the crop is being laid.
Using a long, curved, razor-sharp blade, cut
seven single stalks for every circle planned for
the formation. Place each one between thumb
and forefinger and stroke until the stem starts
to bend. When the stems are bent at a right
angle about two inches from their base, place
each sheaf at the centre of each proposed
circle. If this service is not performed, a
greater ratio of breakage will occur.
Cerealogists who find a sheaf of sharply cut
stems within the finished formation tend to
automatically see this as a sign of
genuineness.
*There is a belief amongst certain circle-
makers that fashioning these stems into a
human form, then placing it into the final
grapeshot, will ensure future circles growth.
