In our work to bless and attune San Francisco, we had
established the Center of our directions in the back yard of my friend and colleague,
since we had discovered that her house was actually in the center of the city.
Now that she was about to move we had to find a new, public place for the Center.
We chose Twin Peaks. It’s geographically pretty much in the center of the city,
and has fabulous 360° views, complete with parking and trails. Here are some pictures from our new site.
Before we could establish the new Center there we had to close down the old one, so we trooped out to the back yard and lit our candle, opening to the flow of energies from the sacred directions and inviting the spirits who have been working with us to hold that locus of power. We explained what was going on to them, and pointed out where we were going, as the great peaks were very close by. Some of the spirits would be going with us to the new place; others were local to the area on which the back yard was formed, and would stay there.
Obviously, we won’t be burning any candles on Twin Peaks, so
for the new Center I had brought another round, flat stone, similar to the ones
I consecrated in the East and South. We drove up to the Peaks and found a
perfect flat area that is easily accessible and yet out of the main areas where
people were walking. It was near a crossroads; always an ideal place to
establish a center. And as we walked around a bit, we found yet another faint
crossroads, this time a path in the grass, right where we could work. This felt
like a faery/nature crossroads, rather than a man-made one. As usual, we felt
we were being guided to the perfect spot.
When we opened out the directions there, we felt the power of being on a high hill in a natural setting. We felt our “usual” contacts, as well as the new ones specific to this place. We oriented everyone to the situation, namely that we were moving a Center and had already established power loci in the East and South. They seemed quite amenable. After charging the stone, we buried it, as it is our usual custom to put the stones into some bushes, bury or otherwise return the them to nature.
The new energy we partnered to create takes the whole project a quantum level up in power by establishing a Center in a high, open public place, from a tree-shaded private back yard. Phew! Our last task was to open the next direction: West. Having West and North be the ones that open with this new Center in place is very interesting: they are the two more “feminine” directions. I’ll continue the saga, our journey to the West, in the next post.

This sounded like a beautiful experience! If you're interested, here's what happened on a different hill on April 30:
