Along an Alertnate Route to Watertown CT


Can you see the Great Snake, the Stone Horned Serpent??



A segment of stone, laid down to resemble a Great Snake, by the "Indian footpath" that became a road named for a pond, shows a boulder head followed by a thick body, with a diamond shaped stone recalls a marking on a rattlesnake and the 7th Scale of the Snake Being called the Uktena, where the heart of the "Strong Looker" can be found, where the Uktens and be wounded and killed. Just behind the head is another stone sometimes found in other Snake Rows of Stones, spanning the width of the "stone wall," a flat surface facing forward, perhaps a place to rest a set of horns on its head..."



"...in Native American myths and legends, horned serpents are usually very supernatural in character-- possessing magical abilities such as shape-shifting, invisibility, or hypnotic powers; bestowing powerful medicine upon humans who defeat them or help them; controlling storms and weather, and so on...horned serpent mythology may trace back to ancestors of Eastern Native American tribes such as the Hopewell, Mississippian, and other mound-builder civilizations, as stylized serpent motifs have been found in their earthworks and artifacts which bear some resemblance to the horned serpents of historical Native American tribes..."
