    Sedona Heritage MuseumSedona AZ (October 19, 2021) – The Sedona Historical Society is hosting their fall “Voices from the Grave” pioneer cemetery walk on Friday and Saturday, October 29 and 30, with show times at 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. A group of talented spirits and their ghostly escorts are set to once again entertain and inform visitors at the oldest cemetery inside the City limits of Sedona. This fascinating outdoor theatrical program with costumed ‘spirits’, history and fun, can only take a limited number of people, and was a sell-out event last year, its first year.

    Spirits will be awaiting guests for their annual return to this world to share their Sedona life stories.

    Ticket are still available online at sedonamuseum.org. Ticket holders will be going back in time to meet pioneers who lived and worked in Red Rock country. These “Voices from the Grave” are re-enactments by professional actors who will greet and meet visitors as part of an open air “cemetery walk” at the Cook Cedar Glade Cemetery off Airport Road. Participants will be escorted from one pioneer grave site to another for history and some hilarious or heartbreaking story-telling by select “ghosts” as they recount their lives and adventures in the Sedona of the past.

    The cemetery walk provides a unique experience for visitors to meet the early citizens of Oak Creek Canyon. There are homesteaders – both male and female, Sedona’s first litter lifter, a moonshiner, and midwife Nettie Van Deren, along with some new ‘seraph’ surprises. This is a step back in time experience.

    Reno and Sheila McCormick will provide musical interludes. Professional actors portraying the pioneers are Shondra Jepperson, Dev Ross, Michael Peach, John Reynolds, Gary Glenn and Tricia Greer.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
