Crop circles are overwhelmingly concentrated around areas of ancient spiritual, neolithic, and indigenous significance.

In the United Kingdom, which is often considered the global epicenter of the phenomenon, the vast majority of formations appear in the county of Wiltshire, immediately adjacent to major pagan and prehistoric monuments. Below, a recent mystery in Germany.

Germans Flock to Mysterious Crop Circle

As mentioned, notable locations include the fields surrounding Stonehenge, the massive neolithic stone circles and henge at Avebury, the towering artificial mound of Silbury Hill, the West Kennet Long Barrow burial chamber, and the ancient causewayed enclosure at Windmill Hill.

These sites are central to modern New Age, pagan, and druidic traditions, and enthusiasts frequently point to the intersections of supposed ley lines or earth energy currents connecting the crop formations to these megalithic landmarks. We mark this: “occult watch.” But quite the mystery!
