New Moon Treasure Map and My Dream Living Situation

Happy New Moon/Dark Moon everybody.

As new moon begins to take shape and starts waxing, now is a good time to focus and meditate upon the elements that you’d like to draw into your life. These next couple days I’m going to be working on what I call a treasure map. A treasure map is a term I use for poster boards I make where I paste my photography, magazine pictures and relevant words that correspond with what I’m trying to manifest in my life at the time.

I’ve made a lot of treasure maps in the past, its a form of magick that works really well for me as does journaling magick (when I have the discipline to keep up with it). I made my first treasure map when I was 14 (way before the Secret and What the Bleep frenzy) about going to school in Scotland. Everyday I looked at that poster and thought about how much I wanted it. I did go to school there, for a year, it was awesome, still one of the best and most influential years of my life. The next one I made when I was 17, it was about traveling, I put the word Nomad at the top and pasted a bunch of pictures about traveling all over the poster and nomadic animals like birds and sea turtles, one was of Australia actually. The next few years I traveled in three different states and to Australia. Now whether you believe in manifesting your own destiny or not, its still a good meditative exercise to stay focused on what positive elements you’re trying to bring into your life.

This time I’m working on what is essentially my ideal living situation. Right now my boyfriend and I are living in a nudist colony. This is closer to where we want to be in the social openness and comfort level of the natural naked body. So far its been a huge step forward.

Consider this blog a sort of virtual treasure map.

Now I want mountains, beautiful women and men that are open minded when it comes to sex, polyamory and sex work and an ecovillage thats self sustainable with a huge organic garden and ducks and chickens and goats.

solar panel at Moora MooraWhen I was WWOOFing at the Moora Moora community in Australia I loved the location and the fact that it was completely run off of solar panels. At Moora Moora they employed a great many environmental practices such as composting, strawbale insulation, organic farming, solar power, and rainwater collection. It was a great location as far as landscape goes to, 600 acres on a moutaintop which gave them the access to the sun whilst also providing a temperate climate. All of the houses were owner built which gave each house a very unique look. This was my favorite and is my dreeaaaaam house!

I love the fact that its round instead of square. The inside was beautiful and open with a loft where they slept.

Anyways, this is the kind of house and overall environment I want to live in.

I think that my boyfriend and I have a lot to offer when it comes to intentional communities and alternative living. He has been a  Native American/Celtic shaman for over forty years and specializes in geomancy (which is like feng shui for the Earth) and programming sacred structures, check out some of his geomancy work here.

I think my work in the sex industry and especially dancing has given me alot of insight into the way people work, especially in dancing you’re seeing some people at their most vulnerable time and its your job to hold their hand while they explore themselves in a way that they usually may never get a chance to.

I would like to live in a place that could be an ecofriendly sex/naturist retreat. Imagine a retreat where people go to shed the layers of programming about their body and sexuality in general while learning how to better care for their health and the environment through organics and sustainable living? Imagine a place that brought back the concept of the sacred harlot and sexual surrogate in its truest form, not the misogynistic/patriarchal version we receive today.

Thats what I want.

Tonight I’ll be working on making my physical treasure map and will post pictures for all to see.

Peace, Love & Pussy,

Sequoia

  1. The treasure map sounds like a great concept, like writing a list of things you want to do but in a very right brain way. I love the round house.

  2. A friend and I had been pursuing the whole “law of attraction” thing for years before The Secret and What The Bleep as well. I’m still not 100% sure there’s any mystical power at work there, but visualization techniques certainly seem to work, whatever the mechanism.

    Have you ever looked into the Rosicrucians? They’ve been doing work in this sphere for years.

    I saw a mention of WWOOFing the other day (in Mother Earth News, if I’m not mistaken) and thought, “Oh, hey, I know what that is! I read about it on Sequoia Redd’s blog!” Heh… Go figure.

    I thought for a long time that straw bale construction would be how I’d build my dream house, but at least one university has shown that residual moisture levels in straw bale walls can be within the range necessary for the growth of certain toxic molds, and that more long-term study (10 years or more) is necessary to know for sure whether straw bale can remain mold free over time. So, until I find out more, I think I’d probably build with ICF’s (insulated concrete forms). Of course, living underground would be awesome, too.

  3. I think your ideas of a treasure map are simply fabulous. I always enjoyed chatting with you on the forums of AW and am now happy to find your site here. I think there are times we need to reflect on our life and where things are going. I recently had to go through similiar process and have been enjoying doing something I have been interested in, right now am now working as a substitute teacher. Many people are now asking me if I am looking to become a full-fleged teacher, but right now I am just taking it day by day. Could you use a teacher at your retreat? Anywho, I think you are an amazing woman and will now become a regular visitor here to your site. I would love to e-mail you back and for “Sequoia”. I also think its so awesome that you are so vocal and expressive about your views. Ciao for now.

  4. I am Sequoia. The people at Abby gave me Sahara as my stage name.

  5. Sequoia, I am soooo glad we reconnected. I am sure to enjoy being here with you. Can you please reply to my comment or should I keep that to the e-mails. KISSES.
