Appearing in 1996 one of the first exquisitely constructed Vesica Piscis patterns materialized overnight in a crop field in Oxfordshire near Waylands Smithy and one of the White Horse national trust sites. The Vesica Piscis is an ancient “sacred geometric” shape formed by the intersection of two identical circles. This pattern is named after the Latin for fish and often associated eye symbology when rotated, but could more scientifically represent the splitting of a cell. It frequently appears in crop circles in varying styles and as a basis for other patterns.
