The Oregon Trail, Moving Cross Country Options

Hi All. So, I have recently had a kind of breakthrough experience and realized that I want to move to Portland, where my closest spiritual family is, because of them and for other reasons relating to wanting to continue to explore rather than settle my feet in the red Georgia clay.

I have, in this endeavor, begun to plan my trip which will begin approximately August 31st.

On the way, I have a particularly ambitious project in mind.

Last summer, I buried a crystal at a place of power, an ancient ceremonial site that is still cared for and maintained in north georgia. I spent time meditating there, and I linked the crystals on the fly, as it were. Very crudely, and the link is very weak, but I do get the same vibe by placing my awareness into the linked crystal during meditation. I dowsed with a pendulum for the appropriate burial point.

Well, it got me thinking about making a much stronger link by carving seven crystals - six with the same sigil on each of six faces, and a seventh with one face bearing a sigil from each of the others. I've done something like this with other applications before, creating sympathetic links between two things in a variety of ways. These I'll carve and then blood, much like carving runes. Then I'd like to take each of the six crystals to places of power across the US and bury them there, making the seventh into a kind of link/receptacle through which those energies can be accessed.

So far the one linked crystal I have created has a tendency to simply take me into the solemn reverie that I felt at the mounds in north GA. Very quiet, but also a sensation of... biding, I guess, waiting for something. A kind of calm anticipation that, in terms of utility, I have found is an excellent precursor state to ritual work. Going into that state using the crystal is extremely easy. Just closing my eyes and kind of moving into and through it along the philotic line is like getting warm by stepping into hot water - your mind just goes there, your energy makes a natural shift.

So I want to do the same thing with much greater places of power. However, finding a decent list of them is proving to be kind of difficult. I wonder if anyone has put any significant study into the subject of North American Places of Power, vortexes, etc., and if you'd mind helping me with either links or suggestions. I'm going to try and take a route that at least goes through new mexico, because there are some sites in general there that I've always wanted to see. I will also, I think, swing by the grand canyon because, I mean, it's a cross country tour. Why not?

I have the freedom to take a winding path from one corner to the other, and plan on taking my time and enjoying the journey as well as creating links to six of these places.

The purpose, is to have access to those places and their states remotely and easily in a talismanic sense, and to be able to use the same sigils for the creation of sympathetic links to other talismans as well.

I am looking currently, and will continue to. But my main difficulty is that although there are some lists of places, there is very little discussion on the actual nature of the places. That is to say, on the tone of the power there.

Well I know of only few which are famous, active, and powerful. If your are looking particularly for maintained sacred places it might be a little hard to find them. Sedona, which has four vortexes is a big miss mash of happenings. The Buddhist temple I work at has a sister site there and I have herd that the Lama considers it highly useful to Buddhist practices and her work that involves manipulation of karma.

Weavers peak in the Superstition mountains has a lot of goofy lore around it, but I can think of few places that have better wood chi - good for Jupiter workings.

There are places in to Pocono mountains where the geological formations have gathered chi in one place for as long as anyone would care to postulate. I do not know where they are but it might be a help to know they exist.

Mt. Shasta and panther meadows, a smaller vortex in a larger one, have been considered a ‘soft spot’ so to speak, a place where the bounds between planes are not so thick or do not exist. The springs are supposed to be very potent and healing.

Looking glass rock, NC. Used for vision quests for thousands of years.

Wizard island is supposedly an active ceremonial site with very intense but calming power. Said to be a little like a white Tara practice.

Black Hills in SD have many places of power but most are parks now and trampled with tourists. It is also, very yin in nature as indicated by its geography. The chaotic miss mash of rock types, formations and the many protruding spires and round rocks would make this places energy rich in shaqi, bad if you live there yet, very conducive to magick related to big, blow it up and start over type magick and cursing.

Old Man Mountain in rocky mountain national park was and is used for vision quests, but this article makes references to other uses and even to it being a geniuslocus, which would make it rather unpleasant to work with casually.

That's about all I know of; if you where looking for dragon veins in the US then I would be more help.

That is a very helpful list, I may visit the temple in Sedona when I am there.

Do you happen to have a map of the dragon veins (different than ley lines?) in the us? Or knowledge of where they run in the southern half of the country?
