I have
returned from Sedona. I spent two days with Matty and we attended a
very nice ceremony at a Mago's Ranch outside of Sedona on the first
day of the 4th Night. It was a small gathering of Ians close friends.
Walker the ranch owner and ceremonial leader has a wonderful place located
on 5 acres of land in the red rock desert. The ceremony began at dark
with a procession from the ranch house down a small hill to a fire ring
where we were smudged / blessed then sat around the fire and passed
a talking stick. Each person talked about Ian and his effect on our
lives. The personal stories were very touching and some quite funny.
Ian had a way of making people laugh as well as think! After the ceremony, we went back to the ranch house and watched Ians very last presentation which was given in Feb 2005. This last talk was actually held at Mago's ranch and Walker had a VHS copy of the talk. I had never seen it and it was so good. Ian went through the Mayan Calendar basic information quickly and focused the talk mostly about whats next and his new insights which I had not herd. It was like time travel to me. He seemed to be speaking to me (us). I really hope to track down the person who filmed the talk and find out about distributing this information. I know so many of you would love to see it. I was told that this may be a challenge, but I feel that within the Sedona network someone should be able to contact this person. Matty and
I and a man named Brad spent a lot of time together talking about Ian
and his legacy. Brad was the person who volunteered to drive Matty and
Ian down from Canada to Mexico. This last trip for Ian was epic in the
sense they traveled 2,700 miles in 3 days and Brad played a very important
role. I was very glad to meet him in person.
