A BRIEF LIFE
THIRST – Because the heat & lack of moisture in the desert make life more problematic, the desert is filled with apparitions of loss, dessication, mortality & injury. Skeletal remains of plants & animals litter the landscape & the lack of moisture also preserve these remnants for many years. There are wooden floors in homes in Santa Fe which are from the 1600’s! There are bones & fossilized bones, coral, cholla skeletons, snakeskins, ancient pottery shards & other remains. These act as signs & reminders of the fragility & temporal nature of life & hopefully call us to live fully when we have the chance as well as to enjoy the phosphorescent quality of death which releases light into the atmosphere. The cycle of nature is celebrated by Mexican culture in the day of the dead when we celebrate our ancestors & our own brief play here. 5.5″ long Click on image for closeup.
LUCKY STAR
The Star formation in the world of minerals and elsewhere, is a sign of good luck. In terms of formative energy it is the 5 points on a logarythmic spiral where the force is evenly & harmoniously distributed. Please see the website arroyoroses.com for a full discussion of this phenomenon. This piece combines a Star with the purple Flourite on the lower end formed of individual crystals in the shape of a snake with a triangular head. The triangle is a solidly based shape which indicates completion at its base & points in a new direction at its zenith. It has been said that the triangle occurs in nature when an evolutionary leap is ready to occur. This is enhanced by the minerals involved here which point to purification and evolution. The areas in which this may occur depend on your intention & commitment but you will be sUpported & blessed in your efforts. The installation or altar is 5″ long. Click on image to see closeup.
DESERT POWERS GROUP
Elemental powers that inform & infuse us! Rain & the Eye inside the storm (upper rt), the power animals, mammals, birds & serpents here (lower cntr)) – the eyes & faces point in various directions – (Ravens are known to be able to process 3 different images or trains of thought simultaneously so can travel in time as well as space); the SUN & iron in our blood & land (top cntr), elemental flames as different frequencies of incarnation (lower left), elements so to speak, man makes them civilization (Arrowhead technology) (upper left), the desert is a place of shapeshifting, the realm of Coyote, the trickster, apparition maker, as we intend ourselves into their shape we gain perspective (rt), a light fills the void (cntr). Click on image to see closeup). These can be used as charms for each of the powers or orchestrated into a suite of purpose as an aid to your intent. Reflections on the interactions of the powers & your feelings & intuitions about the powers are a stepping stone to shapeshifting! Blue Jay laughs at man…
BIRD ON A ROCK
In Heyoka Box, things are turned upside down. Surrealism is the normal art form when the apparent socially conditioned reality is seen with unglazed eyes. This fantastic aspect is also one of the criteria for Scholars Rocks in China. When one has been struck by or energized by the Uranian Thunderbolt energy all bets are off but also all bets are on. This combination is a signature of the natural surrealism of nature. The combination of forms creates a dissonance in the mind as the actions of HEYOKA do. This dissonance causes the mind to give up & is a gate to the unknown which is the true nature of our experience. This combination will act as a reminder that there are gateways which appear in our lives continuously. The Warrior is one who makes the leap into a new dimension by recognizing opportunity in contradiction & its inherent power. See the article on Cognitive Dissonance etc on this site. 5.5″ long. Light Acrylic spray. An art piece. Comes with stand.

SKULL TALK
The Desert is a place where death is evident everywhere from the skulls & bones of animals & men, the hollow wood of cholla & pinon, the ghostly winds & the dried & parched remains of plants, fur & feathers.
