Isn’t this pretty? Discovered August 7 in the wheat fields of Salisbury, England, it’s one of many dazzling patterns stamped into this year’s harvest. We understand that appreciating crop circles outs us as extreme California weirdos, but just take a look: the patterns are so geometrically true, as if they could only be constructed from above. The larger photos will blow your mind for the precise perfection of the individual stalks. Not all crop circles contain Jewish symbols, but many depict themes and sacred patterns common to all humanity.
There’s a group, Circlemakers, that claims responsibility for the dozens of circles that have been documented during the summer in this part of England for at least a century, but they must be very busy since circles like this reportedly happen overnight, sometimes during severe storms.
We’re not saying we’re hardcore believers or anything, but anyone or anything who could punch out something so magnificent with no lights and sh*tty weather leaving nothing so much as a footprint deserves a little reverence. We don’t care if it was laid out by Kabbalistic aliens, hoax-lovin’ Hebrew school dropouts or Hare Krishna elves jacked up on crank, we think they’re trying to tell us something.
