Sedona Javelinas



Like most cities that try to differentiate themselves from other places, such as Chicago and it cows of several years ago, St. Paul of its Peanuts and Charlie Brown Statues, Sedona has adopted the Javelina as its statue. Some might just say a pig, but this pig is the Javelina. They created a mold, then cast 50 replicas and broke the casting mold. The local artists then were given a Javelina to create one of a kind statue to be displayed around Sedona. They will be auctioned off later this year. I have posted 2 pictures; the pipe smoking Javelina is at Sky Ranch Lodge Click on the picture to enlarge it and you should be able to read the writing on the base.
Since this is a vortex site, a lot of artists have been drawn to the area as a place to feel the spirit and create their inner visions to share with everyone. The Javelina’s, are scattered all over town, and statues, paintings, writings are on exhibit in a multitude of shops for browsing and purchasing. Sedona is one of my favorite places to visit, hike, and explore the areas. Make sure you allow time, and catch the sunsets from the rock at Sky Ranch Lodge.The Sky Ranch Lodge is an excellent place to stay, and it comes with awesome views, or Garden Pond Rooms, and friendly people. The Lodge is within walking distance from the male vortex site in Sedona. I have no idea how anyone determined it as "male" site, but some say they have experienced a masculine presence while meditating there.
