Temples of the Cosmos

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

At present there are twelve temples of stone, a Faery Ring and the Rainbow Whale which are collectively called the Temples of the Cosmos.

Approximately 50 different kinds of stone were used to build the Temples of the Cosmos. 353 tons of stone were used. In gematria, the science of numbers in relationship to names and their spelling, 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.
