The Mound Builders Prayer for the Dead

The Mound Builders Prayer for the Dead




O’ earth, as a mother, as a mother covers her child with her garment, so do thou cover him in thy arms.’ ‘May the earth, which has been raised above him like a tower become light to him, may it afford him shelter, and serve as a canopy.’ Again: ‘Carry him to that immortal and imperishable home; where the gates of heaven are open; where the heart’s desires are fulfilled; where there is happiness and contentment; meet there Yama and your own good deeds; leave your sins behind and enter your real home.

New Serpent Mound Discovered in Ohio

New Serpent Mound Discovered in Ohio


An identical Serpent Mound is located in Clinton County, Ohio situated next to a burial mound that contained over 100 burials before being looted by the Ohio Historical Society.


This is the burial mound next to the Serpent that was an ossuary or charnel house before being capped with earth.

This serpent mound located near Chillicothe Ohio is an example of the Serpent being the consort of the Earth Mother.  Serpent mounds at burial mounds at burial sites were constructed to "protect" the dead.
