I found this link on Ellie's World about the new crop circle in Barbury, England that includes a very detailed analysis of the crop circle and its relationship to the number Pi and has rounded up to an astonishing 10 digits. This is a very precise measurement, and its difficult to imagine that two drunk guys with boards on their feet (the classic debunking of crop circles) could dream this up. I'm no mathematician, but the mathematical precision of this crop circle seems pretty amazing. Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and is considered the original irrational number. It is an infinite number that has no end, although people keep trying to find it. Typically Pi is depicted with its first six decimal digits, so the extension to 10 digits in the crop circle is pretty amazing!
This is an interesting site that explores the connection of Pi to the esoteric philosophies of the Illuminati, making a case for Pi representing the solstices and equinoxes.
Some writer have said that in establishing the relationship between the circumference of the circle, which is round, to the diameter, which is linear, Pi depicts the transcendence of the circle from linear rationality.
The infinite nature of the number Pi suggests to me an inability for the human mind to grasp that which is infinite; that the Mystery will always be greater than the humans who seek to discover it.

Sorry Linkless, try it now
Very interesting exploration of Pi there, thanks for the link
I have just looked at the explanation at the page linked at Ellie's World, and it's evident the math in the crop circle is not complex or precise. In fact, it's the "graphic design" of it that's quite clever. Strangely though, the numbers involved relate to the blog link you provided, particularly the 17 of the years since another Pi inspired crop circle in the area. So the significance isn't in the math, it's the fact that someone is keen to tell us something. I think the message is pretty much the same as in the linked blog. Hope this helps
It's all very obscure to me, Anon. But the crop circles are so fascinating and such a mystery
Thanks for the birthday gift Lynn. Got lots of visits from your site and many of them were quality reads. Just wanted to say "thanks".
What do you read in a 6/10/62 Gemini?
Good for communicating complex metaphysical subjects?
Astrology was part of my early training. I always wished I spent more time. Nice to see good people as you keeping the Craft alive.
Best wishes and nice work here
