Dr Strange and Lady Sekhmet in Kansas: a Geomantic Fairy Tale
Tuesday, March 28th, 2006
It began the way such adventures often do these days, with a chance remark over brunch in a trendy Colorado natural food restaurant. A man named for the Greek sun god, Helios, was expounding on Eldorado, and I interjected a quote from Poe’s poem of the same name. A conversation ensued and the town of Kanopolis, Kansas, was mentioned as a point of some interest in terms of Native American prehistoric cultures. I heard the word “petroglyph” and decided then and there to stop in Kanopolis on our way back east.
Lady Sekmet and I were in Boulder, emerging spiritual center for the over-educated, self-indulgent technocrats of the new world order, attempting to organize a school for geomantic studies. Geomancy, from the Greek words for “earth divining,” is the current label for the emerging paradigm of sacred geometry based planetary bio-systems engineering. Boulder seemed receptive to our ideas and we left feeling positive, full of good vibes and pure intent.
