This formation was a very nice eight-fold design. A series of
semi-circles in the centre make a flower-like pattern. Eight is the
number of periodical renewal, as in the musical scale, where when we
sound the octave (oct-8) we find ourselves back at the beginning of the
scale, but on a different level – reaching beyond our current level. It
is also a cyclical number that has connections to cycles of time and the
movement of the planets – this may have to do with its membership of
the Fibonacci sequence of numbers. Eight, along with its predecessor
five and its successor thirteen are the three most common Fibonacci
numbers found in the natural world. Eight is a number we do see in crop
circle design, but is not as common as say, six, twelve or even five. (Temporary Temples)
