2008-8-27 – "Blackrock – Ash & Fire"
"…In the Summer of 2008 Lady Ash and I journey together at last to Blackrock, recognizing ourselves as laying down the framework of the container of energy around the campsite where we are staying. Here, we clarify the energies of the realms, feeling the magics of divination that we shared at the Academy witnessing the Mythica and the surface plane together. …"

"Ash & Fire"
The ash leaves a glyph on my hand of a heart. I shoot and photo and share the experience with Evon, wondering if such symbolizes my finding the love I look for in the desert this time around.
Foundations of Fire
After I dock Calliope's Dream in the space, Lady Ash and I walk the perimeter of the camp, feeling the energies of fire. There is the sense that we are laying down a foundation of energy, a container of sovereignty and support that is our part in the the subtle matrix of wonder shared by all created by the very presence of our consciousness and intention.

Walking the Dune Sea
It is there we encounter Patience Yanderling, one of the bards of faerie sitting by his guitar …
It is a constant in the shifting landscapes of the playa as to whether one's path will be obscured by one of the roving dust storms which occur spontaneously and without warning along the path.
Exploring the City
Hjeron is kind enough to pause in his wanderings for me to shoot a picture of him standing before the great chariot. The sense of him being the essence of the Horse in this moment, of him standing in the ripples of his own gravity of character are extreme.
Joust of the Djedi
They stand at the man, spinning their lightsabers in a vast ensemble …
Burning the Man
The ritual always reaches it's height when the ensemble of mythologies gathers before the effigy of the Burning Man …
Glyphs of the Temple
I know there is something significant about the reflection that comes to me from the staircase of the temple, yet it will not be until I return to the Academy that it reveals itself …
There are many times when I witness a photo I was led to shoot on the quest and see it's significance later –
