Stone stack wedged between tree trunks on the trail to Cathedral Rock, a magnetic (female) energy vortex, Sedona, Arizona, USA

Buddha Stone Stacking at Cathedral Rock, Sedona, Arizona, one of several mystical energy vortices in that area of the world. This stacking of stones is a recent Buddhist practice, and is probably due to monks stacking stones, as well, in the past. This practice is probably a form of worshipping, but it's mainly a gesture of asking or wishing for good fortune to be bestowed on the stacker and his/her family. Each stone within the stack represents a particular wish and possibly, family member.
