The Sacred Pentagram of Sedona

The Sacred Pentagram of Sedona

The ancient Yavapai legend of the beginning of human time sees the People emerging from the lower world by climbing stalks of corn growing up through the waters of the Great Flood.
So all the people go up on the corn. They go around, go around... and where the ears of the corn come out, between there, they sleep. After some time, the water goes down. The girl has a dove with her and she sends that dove out. The dove comes back with a little weed. So the water has gone. There, at Sedona, is a high place. It is the highest place all around. And when the water went down, the log hit that high place. It stopped right there, and the girl came out from the log. That girl was called Kamalpukwia. She was First Woman, and we come from her. She came out at Sedona, and that's where all Indians come from.

The Sedona area, location of February's Sacred Geometry Conference, is in itself a giant temple, laid out in the proportions of Sacred Geometry. Sedona's vortex portals and interdimensional spaces are evident in the landscape itself, and also are referred to in Native traditions of the emergence of Humankind.

The mathematical location and shape of interdimensional and vortex portals in this region are as meticulous as though, like the Great Pyramid, the whole thing had been planned by human agency. In effect, a much greater-than-human agency is responsible for the miracle that is Sedona.

Before we talk in more detail of the Sedona area and its sacred proportions, we need to first understand some of the basic shapes and ratios that govern them.

The Golden Section and the Pentagram

[font=Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif][size=3] Perhaps the most dynamic vortex for the creation of life on Earth appears in the ratio known as the Golden Section (also "Golden Mean" or phi). The Golden Section appears naturally in many ways. A repeated manifestation is in five-fold geometric forms like the pentacle or Pentagram
