So proud of my course attendees. They do amazing work with the designs we work with. Drawings by Michelle.

I never thought mixing UAP with religion was a good idea, except within academia itself as a comparative tool. It’s not helpful and people quite rightly, get confused by it. I’m glad I’m not the only one that questions her interest in this subject.

The birth of the heptagon from the Vesica Pisces, via the square. I’ll be picking up my Magnificent Sevens course in Nov. We’ll be drawing this diagram & drawing the Roundway Splash crop circle from 1999. Catch up with sessions 1, 2 & 3 on our website. temporarytemples.co.uk/event/magnif...

We have published an annual Crop Circle Year Book since 1999. Covid slowed us down & we’re now playing catch-up. We’re about to publish our 2022 edition. Just got the proofs! temporarytemples.co.uk/product/crop... Your purchase gives you free access to our forthcoming online conference!

Hackpen Hill crop circle 2025. The quintuplets are referred to as the central mother circle and 4 daughter circles. The central circle, one of the daughter circles & the perimeter sit in a golden section ratio to one another. The design also squares the circle.

Time for a little crop circle art today. This is the quintuplet at Hackpen Hill earlier this summer. Work in progress…

I’ve been commissioned to create some hand drawn outlines of the crop circles for a forthcoming book. This is the latest, the circle appeared at Etchilhampton in 2022. A fascinating Masonic design.

Crop circle at Faulkner’s circle (near Avebury) Wilts. U.K. 8th June 2025. Images showing the Golden Section placement of the central circle and the way in which the design ‘Squares the Circle’.

With all overlays completed, showing a hidden nonogram, squaring the circle and the golden section, (for now) this picture is a wrap. Now to tidy my drawing table and edit the photographs!

Completed my painting of the Sutton Veny crop circle of 2025, with its beautiful Celtic knot at the centre. What a beauty.

In session three of The Magnificent Sevens, we drew the Ackling Dyke crop circle of 2018 and tackled the complex process of constructing the box-spirals in its outer band.

I have been working on a drawing of the crop circle at Sutton Veny, Wilts this year. It’s a lovely design proportioned by octagrams and squares. More soon…

Europe does get AI - but we’re skeptical. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

You provide a much needed alternative conversation in what can be a static echo chamber. You do great work. I’m a huge fan.

Thanks to the wonderful attendees at my latest online course: The Magnificent Sevens. Here’s some of the artwork sent to me after the lastest session where we looked at the obtuse heptagram in crop circle design. Images by the talented Amelia and Michele.

A big thank you to all that attended session1 of my Magnificent Sevens online course, during which we drew the Danebury Ring circle of 1998 (orange). Here is another version (blue) in which the small circles are centred differently. Like the number seven herself, the exact geometry is elusive.

Join us for the first session of my new online event. The Magnificent Sevens: the unfolding of 7-fold geometry in the crop circles. This course is accompanied with beautifully illustrated materials & video recording. Sun. 23 Feb. 6-8pm GMT Via Zoom temporarytemples.co.uk/event/magnif...

Here’s yet another method for dividing a circle into 7 using a pair of nested triangles. This is from Michael Schneider’s Constructing the Universe workbook 2. We’ll be exploring this drawing during my online course The Magnificent Sevens: 23rd February 2025 temporarytemples.co.uk/event/magnif...

This crop circle appeared below Danebury Ring Hillfort in Hampshire. U.K. in 1998. It was the first circle to use explicit sevenfold geometry. We will be recreating its form with compass and straightedge during my new online course. temporarytemples.co.uk/event/magnif...

We’ll be building a collection of constructions of sevenfold geometry to use as an ongoing reference - as we explore its expression and unfolding in the crop circle phenomenon. temporarytemples.co.uk/event/magnif...

The forms of seven: The Heptagon The Heptagram (obtuse) The Heptagram (acute) All these forms have been seen in crop circle design as both exoteric shapes and in esoteric proportions. From my forthcoming online course. The Magnificent Sevens. Read More: temporarytemples.co.uk/event/magnif...

Esalen is famous for its hot springs where visitors (of all ages) do bathe naked - although it’s not compulsory! But what that has to do with blue orbs is beyond me!

Division by seven, after the late great John Michell. The beautiful thing about this method is that it uses the square (4) and the triangle (3) - which of course = 7.

Perhaps they’re just doing what they think needs to be done. It’s not always pretty.

Yesterday was session 3 of the Crop Circle Explorers course I have been running. The group members get to draw along with me in a live session. Here’s the drawing we did of the South Field 2008 crop circle. You don’t really know a design until you can teach it to others!

Great episode. Keel’s MIB stories have always fascinated me. PS can I ask what the intro music for the pod is? I love it. 😀
