To be retained
- Major Volcano of California
- Sacred mountain for many peoples
- Home of modern New Age myths
- Vortex not shown
History and context
The mountain is found in the territories and traditions of peoples such as the Shasta, Winnemem Wintu, Karuk and Modoc, according to distinct relationships. Modern esoteric authors then located there ascent masters, Lemurians, UFOs and portals, narratives without historical or scientific basis.
Why is this place spiritual?
Aboriginal meanings should not be merged with New Age myths. For contemporary visitors, the mountain also serves as a place for retreat, meditation and personal quest.
What the landscape makes you feel
The snowy cone dominates forests and plains very far in the round. Altitude, weather and volcanic risk remind that a spiritual landscape is also a demanding physical environment.
Energy, atmosphere and feelings
No vortex or portal is established. Feelings can come from altitude, effort, expectation and visual power, without invalidating personal experience.
