Dowsing the Crop Circles – John Michell
ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO, strange marks began appearing in fields of growing crops in southern England. First in simple circles, later in more complicated patterns, crops were found laid to the ground in neat swirls and spirals. The crops were not trampled or otherwise damaged.
Crop circles are a mystery to this day. Every year they have grown more numerous and more elaborate in their designs, culminating in the amazing ‘pictograms’ of 1990 and 1991. There are no obvious clues to the meaning of the phenomenon as a whole. But many researchers agree that crop circle sites are charged with energy fields that can be detected by anyone who investigates them with a dowser’s rod or pendulum. The same results are not obtained at faked circles or control sites. When it comes to plotting and interpreting the energy fields, however, agreement fades. They are often said to be similar to the subtle earth energies located at ancient sacred sites, but every dowser, it seems, understands these differently.
In DOWSING THE CROP CIRCLES, five leading crop circle researchers and dowsers give separate accounts of their findings. Each one sees a different aspect of the whole. Their conclusion is that something of great significance is happening in the cornfields.
The contributors are introduced by JOHN MICHELL, Editor of the leading magazine on crop circles, The Cerealogist, who describes the background to the subject and compares their various insights. Here at last we can see what the dowsers are saying, not just individually but in unison, about the new perspectives which the mysterious crop circle makers are opening before us.
In addition to photographs of leading crop circle dowsers in action, the book features many illustrations of some of the most interesting formations of 1990 and 1991, including several which appear here in print for the first time.
