Bad mojo after removing rocks from Sedona Vortex

We went to Sedona and the Grand Canyon during Thanksgiving week. The second day in Sedona we went on a hike in the Vortex area. I like rocks and always bring some back from our trips, so I took about 5 or 6 from the vortex area. After we left Sedona and headed to the Grand Canyon, the bad luck started. Here is what has happened since Sedona and up to today:



1) Two separate car accidents (minor, but damage to two cars)

2) One injury unrelated to the car accidents.

3) One mystery illness that almost caused me to miss Thanksgiving dinner. I ended up sitting at the table unable to eat!

4) Family fight during Thanksgiving dinner in the Grand Canyon that caused us to leave the Grand Canyon one day early.

5) Bad weather in the Grand Canyon that cleared the day we left early. I actually never saw the canyon the entire time we were there.

6) Woman on a walk with infant (in a sling on her chest) makes eye contact with me (in my car), steps off curb, slips in water and falls. She managed to cradle baby with her arms before she hit the ground - both were ok. If she hadn't made eye contact with me, she might have avoided the water.



I am hoping that some of the Arizona bloggers can tell me if there is any sort of superstition having to do with removing rocks from the Vortex. Just like in Hawaii where you are not supposed to remove the black sand, and in Palm Springs where you are not supposed to take the rocks from the Indian Canyons. There were no signs that said anything of the sort. However, if I have to mail the rocks back to the visitor center, I will. I thought the Vortex was supposed to spread positive energy!



Ok, have a good laugh, but this is no joke!! I'm totally serious.
 
This story sounds similar to the other rock curse from the <a href="http://www.nps.gov/havo/index.htm">Volcano National Park</a> in Hawaii. You can read more <a href="http://www.snopes.com/luck/pele.asp">here</a>. You might have to return that rock otherwise your luck may not change ;-)
 
I would mail the rocks back to the visiting center.

I hate admitting that I believe in this stuff - but I think I do.

Good luck.

the only thing I've ever taken was a small sample of White Sands Gypsen from Ground Zero.... I sent it to my brother in Los Alamos, I've also sent him some Trininite samples. He worked at Los Alamos for a while.... No bad luck, but it did show up on his dosimiter faintly.... He then put it in a lightly lead lined box and has been fine.



good luck

OMG! Yes, I think I have to mail back the rocks. Unfortunately, one weighs about 20 pounds (don't ask how we got that one back to the car). The big one didn't come from the Vortex, but the smaller ones did. I will mail the small Vortex rocks back immediately and if the bad luck continues, I will have to mail Big Daddy back as well.
 
That's interesting. I worked with a woman, early-mid 30s. She took a trip to Arizona and came back with a bunch of small rocks that she put on her desk. A few months later she was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Now I wonder if there is any correlation. She was a total health freak, skinny, exercised, didn't drink or smoke.
 
Taking rocks from the Islands is bad. I remember going with my family as a kid and my brother and mom got into it for an hour because he tried to sneak a rock and some sand back. It was always a superstition in Hawaii, not sure about anywhere else. But then again, I did grab a rock from Zion National Park when I was a kid and called it my "lucky rock". But it never gave me any luck.....
 
[quote author="skek" date=1228209053]I took a rock from Loch Ness when I was younger. I didn't have any bad luck, but now a 60 foot sea monster follows me around...



Mail the rocks back!</blockquote>


I wonder what he wanted...
 
Hey



I was in Sedona on T-Day and had a Buffalo Burger, damn tasty at that.



Went back up the hill to Jerome in the fog and a little rain.



Since I live 40 min from Sedona you can mail the rocks to me and for a restocking charge I will hand deliver them to the Gods/Goddess of the Vortex. (Whom I know well)



But wait, there is more, for an additional fee I will make sure your name is removed from the "bad karma" list kept by said gods.



For an additional fee you can have a rock named after you in the area. (I only use the best spray paint)



Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Sedona and the grand Canyon are really fine places to visit. You might try slide Rock Park outside of Sedona in the summer.



I just returned from the "OC" and man it was culture shock!! Way too many people and cars.



Enjoy!
 
Gee, I bring rocks from my trips all of the time, just brought one from Versailles in France, it was just basically lying right in front of me. I brought some from my trips to Solvang, some from Big Bear.

I've never heard of this particular superstition before, but it does look scary. I wonder if you have to return to the same spot you took them from, I don't think mailing is going to accomplish that...

You have to return them not just to the same place you took them, but to the same time that you took them.

Rocks have been mailed back to the visitor center near the Sedona airport, with an amusing letter. The will think I'm a nut, but should get a good laugh out of it. I cannot chance any more bad luck considering the poor economy and such. Hubby refused to allow me to mail his favorite rock back, though. Hopefully, he will not pay the price! I also kept the big one, but I think I'm safe as this didn't come from the spiritual Vortex. I hope this is the end of it!
 
[quote author="Astute Observer" date=1228356086]You may want bk to chime in as to the optimal orientation for the remain rock to make sure it does not interfere with the natural feng shi of your home. ;)</blockquote>


From what I've read about it, I have a feeling BK would not experience anything but bad chi if he came to my home. He probably would not even approach the front door. And btw AO, if the rock patrol comes to my home to arrest me, I will toss the remaining rock(s) off the slope and into oblivion. They will need a "rock" hound to find it! :)
