Francine Blake, Crop Circles

THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF CROP CIRCLES

After twenty years studying ancient wisdom in a Gurdjieff school, Francine Blake moved to England to become a full time crop circle researcher. She's now a leading light in that world. Francine will share her magnificent slides and the latest findings: scientific work on changes to plants and soil; meaning conveyed by the sacred geometry, advanced mathematics and ancient symbology in the designs; and profound spiritual effects on visitors. "This is the most exciting thing that humanity has ever come across. This is a direct intervention from the cosmos."

Curriculum Vitae

Born in Montreal, Canada, Francine Blake majored in Classical Studies at college and studied Fine Art at l’Ecole des Beaux Arts de Montreal. She went to England on a student’s grant at the end of the sixties, married and settled there. She has always sought knowledge, and spent twenty years studying ancient wisdom in a school of self-development brought to the West in 1917 by George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff.

Introduced to crop circles in 1987, Francine was immediately attracted to them, recognizing many of the symbols she had been studying. She joined the Centre for Crop Circle Studies (CCCS) in 1991, and in 1992 moved to Wiltshire with her family to be closer to the phenomenon. In 1995, she started the Wiltshire Crop Circle Study Group (WCCSG), where she was elected coordinator, a post she still occupies. She edits The Spiral, the monthly newsletter for the WCCSG, and designs and produces an annual Crop Circle Calendar. She lectures extensively and has given many interviews on radio and television. She lives in the Pewsey Vale near Alton Barnes – the most active area for crop circles in the world – where she studies the phenomenon full time.

Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour,
Rains from the sky a meteoric shower
Of facts...they lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
Is daily spun, but there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric...
-Edna St. Vincent Millay-
