Today I made a site specific "rapprochement installation", "The Zia Crystal Grid at Castle Rock".
A Crystal grid is made by the placement of stones in a geometric pattern for the specific purpose of directing energy toward a goal and Zia is the symbol of New Mexico.(Zia definition courtesy of JessicaWhitten.com):The people of the Zia Pueblo in New Mexico regard the sun as sacred. Their symbol, a circle with groups of rays pointing in four directions, is painted on ceremonial vases, used to introduce newborns to the sun, and is featured on the New Mexico state flag. Four is a sacred number of the Zia, and can be found repeated in the points radiating from the circle. The number four is embodied in:
The compass (north, south, east, and west)
The seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter)
The periods of each day (morning, noon, evening and night)
The stages of life (childhood, youth, middle years and elderhood)
The sacred aspects one must develop (a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit, and a devotion to the well-being of others).
My intention was to direct energy in and out of the space with the intention of healing the earth.
The winds were blowing at 20 mph today and it was a scorching 97 degrees Fahrenheit. Overall I loved the experience and thought it was very successful. I loved Castle Rock and hope to return very soon. I am pleased and felt the installation was well received.
