Shaman’s Dome is perhaps the least ‘known’ vortex in Sedona. It is isolated in a magnificent, rolling valley of the Red Rock National Forest, just south of Sedona. It is a perfect dome of rose sandstone quartz, soaring 750 feet above base. A powerful cave, known as Shaman’s Cave, is carved into its upper portion. Known to indigenous holy men for centuries, it is an inter-dimensional portal, a stargate.
Shaman’s Cave is a protected site. Local legends claim it is used by Starseed, extraterrestrials that taught and lived among the Indians. It is the most pristine, if not the most powerful, energy portal in the Sedona vortex. In December 2001, I had the wonderful opportunity to do a five-day vision quest in the magnificent energy of Shaman’s Dome.
Tyb’s Journal: Quest, Day Four
The fourth day of my quest brought a profound vision, but it was not what I expected. I had awakened at dawn from an endless night of tossing and turning, feeling glad the long cold night was over. Sleeping on the ground is hard enough without freezing temperatures. I repositioned myself inside my sleeping bag and blankets to watch the emerging sunrise. I was ‘in the effect’ of four days of fasting. Still early and still freezing cold, I sat up, lightheaded. I rubbed my eyes and gazed at the amazing Sedona landscape from inside my prayer-tie circle deep in the Red Rock National Forest, 300 meters from Shaman’s Dome. Dawn bathed the silhouetted cliffs in pink. I closed my eyes momentarily, not quite awake but not asleep.
Vision of Red Feather
Then it happened. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see a regal looking Native American with jet-black hair. His raven mane was adorned with a small red feather in the back. He pointed to the feather, and I knew that was his name – Red Feather. He had a huge mountain lion with him, a sleek magnificent creature! He kneeled in front of me and pointed to Shaman’s Dome, and I knew I had to go there. Timeless moments passed, and Red Feather came again. I sensed a great integrity in him and felt humbled by his presence. I got the same message again … go to the Dome.
