Archaeology and Spirit Guides

Written by Robert Bruce Baird


One ofrepparttar northern derivatives of Hopewell of interest to a few scholars isrepparttar 109255 anomalous Effigy Mound culture of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa. The remains attract attention because ofrepparttar 109256 range of animal forms represented byrepparttar 109257 low effigy mounds. There are sometimes burials atrepparttar 109258 "vital" points - hips, head or heart area - ofrepparttar 109259 animals, but there is onlyrepparttar 109260 simplest of grave goods.

{How these nature worship spiritual guide representations can be talked about as "anomalous" is beyond me. The Serpent Mound near Cincinnati is a key worldwide astrological figure. The Nazca Line effigies of animals are well known. The Dragon Project and other ley line and Gaian concepts of earth energy and center point location ofrepparttar 109261 Mayan urban and pyramid complexes are definitely related. Stonehenge is recently shown connected torepparttar 109262 Serpent Mound and certain astrological or astronomical observations are discussed in Ancient American magazine. Vortexes of energy are obvious in places like Sedona, Arizona. The Giza main pyramid is on such a vortex and some people talk about time warp effects there. But we must remember most archaeologists like their academic brethrenrepparttar 109263 psychiatrists, don't believe in psychic visions, soulful interpretations and other spiritual things that all early people on earth clearly knew very well.

What good is there in denial of what others did or used as central to their lives, even if 'science' of this variety was right? They aren't right anyway, but please ask this question ofrepparttar 109264 scholars who are interpreting these important cultural artifacts. Why avoidrepparttar 109265 actual beliefs ofrepparttar 109266 people? The reason to locaterepparttar 109267 burial in points whererepparttar 109268 energy is collected relates torepparttar 109269 cult ofrepparttar 109270 individual involved and their tribal guide, as well as to their sex and specific power ally. It is part of many less dramatic rituals such asrepparttar 109271 Star of David andrepparttar 109272 pentagram.}

Burials are either flexed or bundle types. The link with Hopewell is found in ceramics and inrepparttar 109273 interest in raptors and certain mammals. At one group, Sny-Magill (now a national monument in Iowa), Beaublein (1953) thought two mounds ofrepparttar 109274 group to be Hopewellian in construction and content. McKern has reported several sites ofrepparttar 109275 Effigy culture (McKern 1928; 1930), as well asrepparttar 109276 Wisconsin Hopewell - locally calledrepparttar 109277 Trempealeau (McKern 1931). Jennings (1965a) and Rowe (1956) have attempted summaries ofrepparttar 109278 Effigy culture. The sites often lie on ridges overlooking a stream valley. The mounds take about a dozen shapes: conical, biconical, oval, linear, panther, bear, bird (goose, raptor), deer, buffalo (?), turtle, lizard, wolf, or fox, and beaver. These are arranged in clusters or lines with no regularity as torepparttar 109279 forms depicted;repparttar 109280 linear and conical ones are mixed withrepparttar 109281 effigies. {Likely no relation to guides or spirits but rather to allow earth energy to build or flow in some manner enhancing or guardingrepparttar 109282 people. Their ancestral forefathers who are often dug up and moved inrepparttar 109283 Iroquois or eastern regions mimics practices carried on aroundrepparttar 109284 world. [There is a genetic energy and spiritual reality that psychology has shown to exist between family members separated at birth (Harvard) and especially 'twins' (Minnesota's University).]} The groups may contain dozens of mounds...
