Swastika Crop Circle Appears Overnight: What Does it Mean?

Crop circles are definitely not a new thing; they’ve been documented since the 1600s! But this might be the first time one has appeared in the shape of a swastika.

Recently, a massive 150- to 180-foot wide crop circle showed up overnight in a field in Wiltshire, located in Southwest England. The thing that really caught everyone’s attention was that it was in the shape most of us are familiar with, a swastika.

The farmer who owns the field was completely shocked to find it. He said he had nothing to do with it and certainly hadn’t given anyone permission to create it.

A local megalithic researcher and ancient mysteries author named Hugh Newman rushed to the scene after spotting it posted on Facebook. He took a number of photos of the crop circle, and according to Reuters news, he noted the ongoing mystery surrounding these formations: “The big trouble of the years is who cut these crop circles because sometimes people don’t have a clue how they ended up there.”

The farmer, while not saying much, was clearly concerned about the symbol when he realised what it looked like and the negative meaning it carries today.

The Swastika: Before the Hate

When I first saw this news, I knew I had to share it, but I also wanted to talk about the swastika itself. Just like the farmer, most people instantly think of the Nazis or Hitler when they see or hear the word. They view the symbol as a sign of hate, and rightly so, given its tragic association with death and destruction after Hitler appropriated it in the 20th century.

However, the symbol is actually ancient. The earliest known swastika was found carved on a mammoth ivory in Ukraine, dating back to around 10,000 BC!

This symbol wasn’t just found in one place; it appeared in ancient civilisations all over the world. You can find it in churches, dishware, graves, and architecture across Europe. It showed up on Aztec and Mayan burial mounds, clothing, and jewellery. It even had a place in Norse mythology.

The symbol is also deeply connected to Buddhism, where it’s believed to signify the level of a Buddha. Throughout history, people embraced it as a symbol of good luck and purity of heart.

Even the name, swastika (also known as shasa), has an uplifting meaning in Sanskrit, where it originated. SWA means “higher life,” ATI means “being,” and KA is a suffix. It can be understood as a “being with a higher self.”

This positive meaning persisted until the 1930s and 1940s, when the symbol became synonymous with anti-Semitism and far-right extremism. It’s truly unfortunate that a symbol once associated with eternity and peace is now almost exclusively linked to something evil.

It’s worth noting that there are usually differences between the original symbol and the Nazi design. The Nazis’ version was typically black, with the arms reversed and tipped to a 45-degree angle.

Back to the Crop Circles

Getting back to the crop circles, many people today believe them to be man-made, often as a prank. And yes, some of them certainly are.

But there are many others that are completely unexplainable because the way they are cut and designed seems far too advanced for a simple group of pranksters.

I’ve realised I’ve never actually done a dedicated crop circle discussion on this channel before. So, in addition to this interesting appearance, I’m planning to put together a comprehensive look at the phenomenon really soon!

Well, what do you guys think? Do you believe this swastika crop circle is man-made, or is there something more mysterious going on? Let me know!
