I do think it may partly explain why I feel better connected to Kemetic Paganism than what my biological ancestors would have practiced---I, too, live in a desert with a regular flood cycle. But some things still need to be adapted for what I have.
I always get a little stuck when it comes to spells calling for something to be buried at a crossroads. There's not an unpaved crossroads within a hundred miles of me, closest I could get would be hucking it off the I-80 interchange and hope it doesn't hit anyone. So I have to consider what the intent of using a crossroads is for that particular spell. Someplace busy with spirits? I know a few. Somewhere to dispose of baneful ingredients where the energy goes far away? Walmart dumpster, most likely. If I have to, there's a (singular) river within reach, but that requires consideration of what environmental impacts might be.
