Esoteric Geography – The Desert

For thousands of years natural formations have been assigned often magical and spiritual meanings in various cultural circles. In this series we will examine some geographical terms through esoteric eyes. Now in our next part we will discuss the desert.

 

In most cases the endless desert, whether it is stone, sand or even salt, symbolises spiritual barrenness or loneliness in both art and literature. In addition it regularly pops up, most typically in films, as the metaphor for facing problems and seeking a path.

The so-called salt desert is even more cruel and dangerous. Here, in addition to the barrenness and lack of water, the greatest enemy is the thousands of tiny holes hidden underneath the salty surface.

In the religion of the South American Indians the desert is the place of ghosts which consume people if they go there. The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, stands out from the rest due to its uniqueness. Here, the more than 10 000 square kilometers of salt plain literally merges with the ground and the sky. Local legend says the goddess Tunupa’s tears were mixed here with breast milk after her husband Kushku left her. The goddess began to breast
