Pilot Mountain, North Carolina

Pilot Mountain. known to the Cheraw as “Jomeokee”, which was their great guide. The Cheraw people were also known as the Saura and Jomeokee is of the Sauratown Mountains. The people came from what is now present-day Asheville and settled here where they remained until 1710 until they were forced out to the Pee Dee River area. They became extinct as a tribe, although some descendants survived as remnant peoples.

The paths used by these tribes became the Great Wagon Road, used by the colonists to travel and settle further West and South. Jomeokee served as a landmark, much as the Standing Stone did, to travelers along the path.

What makes Jomeokee unique is that it has a metamorphic quartzite monadnock rising to a peak 2,421 feet (738 m) above sea level, quartzite has long been used in healing circles to adjust energy balance.

Mankind has long held the belief that imaginary lines across the sky and the earth determine a person’s fate and guide migrants on their journey. Ley lines, the geological alignment of points of interest, are thought to bundle energy. Ley lines are pathways for memories around and throughout our earth. These memories are seen in the relationship to like elements: mountains, lakes, fault lines, etc. With its mineral qualities, Pilot Mountain is believed to be a center energy vortex that connects various points like a wheel. As we talk about the other points and show the complete wheel, or as I have come to know it…the web around Jomeokee.

In Ohio, we have the largest serpent effigy in the world. In Tennessee we had a Sixteen foot Wolf carving at Standing Stone, in Georgia we have a mountain, not unlike Jomeokee that also has had a bas relief carved upon it. Stone Mountain also parallels the Arcadia Ley line which crosses through Pilot mountain, Washington DC (Which we could write many posts on the obelisks, sacred geometry, and ley lines contained within the Masonic built city.

The other points on the far side of the wheel include: Cape Fear North Carolina: The Serpent Lei, the ley line that roughly parallels the Cape Fear River, traverses to Pilot mountain and the Serpent Mound. Grave Creek Mound, Moundsville WV: Another mound created by the Adena. Located in the Ohio River Valley, more than 60,000 tons of dirt were moved to create it about 250–150 BC.

The Great Dismal Swamp, VA/NC border: Considered a place of power, the history of this place mimics the mountains of North Carolina that hid the Cherokee that did not wish to relocate, the swampland hid many slaves and refugees over the years.

Cape Fear River, NC: Low lying wetlands that contain habitats for rare plants and a long history of being a sacred place that leads into the ocean itself.

Parris Island, SC: A bloody past over land control lead to one of the greatest bases of the United States Marines. Like Washington, DC, an odd place to locate something of importance at first glance. Contained within this are the many strands of Spider Woman’s web.

If one looks at the area within you have Hellier and Somerset Kentucky, both explored within the show, Hellier. Point Pleasant and the Mothman sightings, energy vortices like Red River Gorge in Kentucky, even the stories of the first people who hunted in what is now Scott County Tennessee. Reliefs and artifacts have been found within a multitude of native cultures and legends about Grandmother Spider. The Cherokee speak of the time that the old Spider brought them light made from pottery she had formed. (Indeed many tribes say that she made them from the same clay as her sculptures). She appears all the way to the mound builders that formed many of the earthworks we now consider sacred. If we look at the octagon earth works in Heath Ohio, it is specifically attuned to lunar alignments, another nod to the lunar qualities of Grandmother.

There are other Spider gods of course. “The Spider God”, Atlach-Nacha resembles a giant spider with a human-like face. It came from Saturn with Tsathoggua. It dwells in a cave system beneath Mount Voormithadreth, in the now extinct Arctic kingdom of Hyperborea. There, it spins a great web, forming a great bridge between the Dreamlands and the waking world.

In Ancient Egypt, the spider was associated with the goddess Neith in her aspect as spinner and weaver of destiny, this link continuing later through the Babylonian Ishtar and the Greek Arachne, who was later equated as the Roman goddess Minerva.

In other Native American myths, Spider Woman is the Creator of all things and also known as Thought Woman. She is the stillness, the creative energy before it takes shapes or form. She is all-powerful, possessing a power that is beyond all imagination. She is the sharpest, most focused thought, the clearest vision, the one with power unimaginable.

One myth tells of the Web of Creation. It speaks of the strands that are interwoven and connect everything in this reality matrix. Thus, when one part of the web is touched, because everything is linked together so intricately, this touch at one end of the web will be felt and affect the web all the way to the other end.

Has Grandmother Spider formed a web over this area contributing to it’s High Strangeness? The case could certainly be made.
