Terri speaks about Serpent Mound

Image from Britannica Online - Serpent Mound"I grew up In Idaho and worked in places like Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons and moved to Ohio because of a job offer. For the first few years I hated it; it was hot humid and I was miserable.

Then one day while in prayer, I was urged to make a medicine wheel in my back yard. So I did.

I offered tobacco to the four directions with eyes closed, then opened them and the beauty came flooding in it was like Dorothy in the wizard of Oz. It was that day I was guided to go to the serpent mound and many others in the Ohio valley. I have learned much about the mound from the elders of other tribes all over the world and of course from the ancient ones who dell there.

On one occasion, I spent the night in the oval of the serpent with a Cherokee Grandmother. All though the night I heard chanting – It's a chant I use today when calling the spirits forth. I also felt the warm breath of the creator on me and I never got cold. I fell asleep and when I awoke the Cherokee Grandmother had gone home and I had two bite marks on my left wrist. I feel these marks are where the energy came in so I can share it to others through my right hand.

At the serpent I work with many and some when they come here say we will activate the serpent and I just smile because it is not you that will activate the serpent it is the serpent that will activate you. I like doing ceremony there just for this purpose.

And at the end of each Ceremony we blow smoke from the serpent pipe and say welcome to the brother and sisterhood of the serpent mound.

Our community grows with the serpent light workers. We work with energy centers in the body as well as the morning star community. I invite you, the reader, to come visit sometime and I will tell you more as it relates to you."
