Temples of the Cosmos

On Fall Equinox 2001 I began building temples of stone at Stardreaming Ranch south of Santa Fe, New Mexico — the Temples of the Cosmos. The last temple was completed on Fall Equinox 2005.

At present there are twelve temples of stone, a faery ring and the Rainbow Whale. The temples are: The Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Moon, Temple of the Stars, Temple of the Heart, Temple of the Violet Flame, Temple of the Milky Way, Temple of Lightning, Temple of Dreams, Temple of the Rainbow Serpent, Temple of New Atlantis, Temple of Avalon, and Temple of Magic-13 Grandmothers and Grandfather.

Approximately 50 different kinds of stone were used to build the Temples of the Cosmos. 353 tons of stone were used. In gematria, the number 353 represents Hermes, or Mercury. The stones come from sources throughout the United States and Mexico. The stone ranges in size from huge boulders of quartz and granite to chipped pieces of obsidian and red jasper.

Each temple is oriented to specific stellar, lunar or solar alignments. Each temple has its own creation story, unique design, type of stone used, and time of the year it was built. Created according to the Hermetic tradition of revered geometry, alchemy and magic, these temples, or vortices, create a portal for divine energy and healing.

In creating these temples, the stone taught me surrender, trust, love and humility.
