Direction: East
Element: Air
Offering: Barley
On the fourth day, I lit a white candle for my altar and headed to Dreamy Draw Park, arriving at approximately 10:55 AM. A thin cloud cover hovered over Phoenix, a perfect opportunity to avoid the intense sunlight.
When I arrived in the park, I gathered my things and headed to my fourth destination. I arrived at my ceremonial location at 11:20 AM. I photographed the landscape towards the west, another one of the ground at my feet…
And then began my ceremony at precisely 11:23 AM.
While shaking my Hopi rattle and repeating the following mantra;
The Father and I are one.
I stand before thee in the Light of the Christ.
For I am Light
I am Light
I am that Light.
…I greeted the six directions: north facing Hopi, east, south, west, above and below. I gently placed 123 grains of barley on the ground as an offering…
I then added the Rose Quartz that I had taken from the third location the previous day.
I then removed the coconut oil/corn paste from my medicine bag, placed a small amount on my ankles, wrists, and forehead, and faced the Sun. I looked directly at the Sun…
stretched out my arms and legs,
And with the following intentions: selflessness, fulfillment, completion, universality, universal understanding, interrelatedness, compassion, idealism, tolerance, forgiveness, generosity, benevolence, humanitarianism, emotionalism, and justice, I humbly come to you for myself and all of humankind.
I spoke the following words: Creator, I humbly come to you for myself and humankind. I stand before thee in the Light of Christ completely naked, just as I am. Please see me for who I am—all my imperfections and flaws. I humbly come to you openly and honestly, revealing my true nature and hiding nothing. I kept the remaining part private.
I continued to face the Sun until I felt my message was received. Once I was done, I looked for another Rose Quartz to use in my ceremony the following day. I then closed my ceremony with the I am Light mantra.
I packed up my things and headed back to my vehicle. Once I returned to my apartment, I placed the new Rose Quartz by the lit candle, and after the sunset at 6:27 PM, I removed the coconut oil/cornmeal from my body and face.
At that point, I declared the fourth day complete.
