I’d been meaning to investigate that for years but the timing was never right and I wasn’t about to mountain climb the steep ridge alone. The first time it reminded me that the landlady told me that there is a Native American Mound (burial place-mound of earth-ceremonial ground for Cherokee) here high on the ridge. So what! Right? But there’s more to it–there always IS with me! Apparently someone who likes Mounds candy tosses their wrapper when they come around this particular bend-and it happened twice. I live on a country road two-lane curvy highway in the mountains of North Carolina and many people are of the habit of tossing their litter and it ends up in the yard now and again.Īnd today was no exception, there were some papers in the yard and as the mower and I came across from one, upon picking it up I nearly froze in my tracks! There it was again! A MOUNDS candy wrapper (coconut filled dark chocolate). A few weeks ago (and if you are a regular follower of this blog, you may recall this), I found a “mounds” candy bar wrapper in my yard when I was mowing.

I’m taking a bit of a break from outdoor work, mowing and raking all those things that make landlord’s happy. I just have to blog this quickly because it happened AGAIN and after this weekend… well, you’ll see what I mean. That’s twice now! Yes, I know that posting something like this is risking appearing crazy to some so be it- I’m used to it. (This has nothing to do with anything but if I could have a “DO OVER”, I’d have studied archeology in college instead of physical therapy…. Inserted Later: I’ve just learned that in the archaeologically termed “Woodland Period”, the Cherokee in this area actually did create their burial mounds on the top of mountain ridges or “high up” -this according to a Cherokee Archeologist from Cherokee, NC.

And no wonder the crowd of deer come and go from that very place. The oldest religion of which we have any secure knowledge is shamanism.Īhhh, and to think one or more may be buried here upon this property… no wonder the crows circle above that area and nowhere else. The world’s oldest profession is the shaman!! The ancient shaman is the ancestor to the modern-day doctor and the priest. Could I possibly have ancient shamen buried with the local tribe just above my house? (Correction the house I rent.)
