We live in Western North Carolina, old Native American Indian country for thousands of years and there is a lot of history and amazing places around here.  Since the farmer plowed the field the other day I figured it might be a good time to go out digging for artifacts  - I had previously asked if it was possible and he told me that he had found some arrowheads down there and that I was welcome to dig all I wanted.

After spending about an hour out there in the field I realized that I really had no clue as to what I was looking for – maybe arrowheads but I really didn’t know what they looked like… so I went home, grabbed my pouch of tobacco and went down to gift whoever hangs out down there with some.

The whole area is very well gifted with orgonite but I like to gift tobacco as well in certain places and this felt like a good time.  I really did connect with whoever looks after that area and had a nice little chat where I told them that I would be back tomorrow and that I needed help finding something interesting – I just did not seem to be able to do it on my own…

I think you understand that feeling when I say that I could barely go to sleep cause I just knew that I had been heard and that it was good…

This morning I went down and started digging.  It seemed like there was an artifact in almost every piece of dirt I picked up and I had an incredible time with some interesting insights…

When I was wearing my glasses I could not find them… but when I took my glasses off and fumbled around in the dirt with my hands they were everywhere – it was truly incredible and I completely lost sense of space and time.  I felt like I had company and that they were having as much fun as I was – there was an incredible sense of joy in the whole event.

Of course I had put out there that I was only willing to find objects that wanted to be found that that would not disturb anyone…

Somehow I lost five hours of time digging when Dennis finally came down to give me a drink and told me that the day had pretty much passed…  and had a good laugh at me barefoot in the field covered in mud.   Our dog kept going back and forth between me and home and tried to help me dig, not knowing what we were looking for

I had found this amazing space that one is always yearning to connect with but it gets harder as one gets older – that complete sense of joy and play.  Us orgonite makers often find that creative space while pouring and I have several other outlets but today was truly special…

I have all my life had this dream of finding an untouched artifact somewhere and was all excited when I came home cause I really felt like I had connected with something new (or old, rather…) down there – right in my own neighborhood.

Now we are going to be practicing some psychometry on some of the pieces I found…  

Here are a couple of amazing arrowheads that I found – the top one is made out of quartz!

“As you see, within our bodies each of us has the elements needed to produce phosphorus….

Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can’t strike them all by ourselves; just as in the experiment (combustion of phosphorus in a bell jar), we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love, the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches.

For a moment we are dazzled by an intense emotion. A pleasant warmth grows within us, fading slowly as time goes by, until a new explosion comes along to revive it.

Each person has to discover what will set off those explosions in order to live, since the combustion that occurs when one of them is ignited is what nourishes the soul.

That fire, in short, is its food. If one doesn’t find out in time what will set off these explosions, the box of matches dampens, and not a single match will ever be lighted.”

Here are some pictures of this one beautiful place called Nantahala where we gifted both the river and the lake.  It’s old Cherokee Indian country and the energies are very interesting – one side of the mountain feels very different from the other.  There were places where we got those amazing giddy feelings where the local spirits were happy to see us and we felt compelled to gift tobacco as well as orgonite…

Then we came upon this sign by the lake, it says “PRAY” – what a wonderful location to do just that

Here it is with a 12 oz. HHG next to it for size reference.

I came across this one crystal that was unlike any I’d seen before so I snapped it up – it has a nice point on one end and lots of little terminations on the other with a perfect little chlorite point in the middle.

Then we did some bones too

Cat had to check it out – this one comes running every time the camera comes out…  As you can see the plate is a pretty good size and the brass pads look just perfect.  The black layer is iron oxide and then there is another layer with clear resin and aluminum, brass and copper with a crystal configuration.

I also made one in reverse:

With the right coating these would make lovely garden stepping stones  I will have to make a few more and make tracks in the garden…

Then I got this flower mold – it’s huge, probably about eleven inches across:
