Carved Stones

 

 

 

I've been collecting these stones over the last 2 years during my walks along 

the coast.  Each one has a unique energy and harmonic.

The Love Labyrinth™ is a one of a kind piece.  

It's only possible when I find a large heart shaped stone.

The Double Happiness is a design I created for a wedding.

It's a reinterpretation of the classic Chinese symbol for auspicious blessings.

In feng shui, it's perfect for the Marriage & Romance (or Southwest) corner of the 

house.  This year Chinese New Year is February 14th!  Double Auspiciousness.

The Celtic Triskele represents the cycles of life ever flowing outward 

and always returning to the point from which they started. 

More carved stones available in my shop.

. . . and the cedar was overlaid with gold

 

 

 

 

This very old cedar had fallen across the shore and into the sea.  

Saturated from being under water, the wood was intensely red.

The shocking color inspired me to gather a kind of 

honey calcite stone along the shore.  Similar in translucence to amber, the stone 

has this luminous glow and magical soft energy.

The cedar's exposed fiery red core felt like a raw wound.  

{ The tree is about 45' in length. }

Laying on of stones was a simple salve in acknowledging the majesty of the cedar.   

It was only later while going thru the photos, that 

I saw the heart beneath my offering.

The Angelic One

 

During the past two years I've been a weekly volunteer at Sardis Raptor Center.  It is a privilege to be able to work with all of these birds of prey.

This is the beautiful and "saintly" Tundra.

Her highness prefers to be carried above my head. Usually she has a very hyper disposition, but here she is in deep stillness and contemplation.

Here are more images from my Sardis Collection.

Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe ~ Santa Fe

The Santuario de Guadalupe, begun in 1795, is the oldest still standing church honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe in the U.S.  

In August 2008, the new Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe was unveiled in a full day ceremony following the arrival of the sculpture from Mexico City.

This is an incredible gift to Northern New Mexico.  The radiant energy that the shrine infuses to the heart of Santa Fe is extraordinary.  The sculpture is 12' high on the altar.  There are vases for daily offerings of flowers, an "intention" box for prayers, and the Inlaid bronze Holy Rosary Walk in the pavement surrounding the statue  

Our Lady's Feast Day is December 12th.

For a remarkable tribute, see this documentation of her journey.
