desert magick

I find myself in the desert for a few days. The land here is awesome, not dead like most people associate with the desert, but rustic and mystical. It seems bigger here and the mountains are wicked. Tucson is surrounded by them.

 

The drive up to Mount Lemmon from Tucson is awesome. Watching the landscape change with the elevation is cool, from dry desert heat and tall saguaro cactuses to cold mountain air and ponderosa pines.

We hike up to an area with some cool looking boulders and climb on top of them to see the view. The sky is clear and the view is a beauteous 360 degrees, clear skies. You can hear the wind whisper from one side of the mountains to the next. I remember the first couple days on the trail in Georgia and getting tripped out about hearing the mountain wind whisper to you, from one valley to the next.

 

On top of the boulder, Matt pulls out his magick supplies: ash, alcohol and tobacco. We do a ceremony for clarity, I want direction and purpose and so we ask the ancestors. Right after we close the wind roars and Matt says this is a good thing, our intentions are being carried out with the wind.

    Thanks for the toplessness. I keep hoping that one day while out for a hike I’ll see a topless woman walking around. Actually, I hope for that wherever I am. Good photos, though.

  • Beautiful (the words and photos both).

    I wonder if the desert’s been calling its painted ladies on over lately – Arizona’s got me headed over in a few days for a woo-related errand.

    I like that you asked the traditional way. Very cool. My family’s not very traditional; mom writes her messages on a cigarette and then smokes it, and I used to just whisper into tobacco smoke. Here’s hoping they answer you clearly.

  • You look very happy, great pics!

    Good to see you smiling.

  • I found your blog through Curvaceacous Dee’s blog and I am glad I did. These photo’s are great but the topless one is th best, not because you are topless but because somehow you seem to fit into the free spirit mold of your surroundings.
