    A Mystery Stone was found in a field by the Shenandoah river, near Berryville, Virginia. Photographs and computer images generated from the Stone reveal enigmatic forms. They show a cosmogram, an alternate way to view the universe and one that bears Indigenous meaning. The Haikus reflect on the meanings of the designs and  often pose a question for the reader to answer. We invite you to help in the discovery of the meaning of this Mystery Stone from the Shenendoah.

    A Mystery Stone found by the Shenandoah River has designs that resonate with ancient Mississipian art. Could these markings be intentional and inspired by  a culture that existed almost a thousand years ago?  A variety of archetypal images appear to be present on the stone, such as Birdman, twinned humans, and netherworld creatures. When designs and mandalas from Southeastern ceremonial art are overlain atop our dinted stone, we find that beauty and meaning are revealed. You're  invited to take a tour of the Mystery Stone, in which you are often challenged to answer questions the Stone proposes.

Possible associations to Eastern Woodland cosmology are related in Haikus and images, from the spirit helpers of shamans to animals that dwell in different parts of a triparite world. You are invited to view these animal forms and envision their meaning from clues the Mystery Stone offers.
