I never see any of these weird goings on. All I see is guys in weed with two teeth between 'em, oh and the fat waitresses at the Black Bear Diner

The Sierra Club has a couple of "photographs" in the lodge that purport to show the shadow of Jesus standing on the summit. One is an image of a shadow with its hand raised to the sky and a halo over its head. Very strange indeed.

Has any one heard of the Dalai Lama saying that Shasta satisfies all 12 requirements for being a spirtual center? I've heard this but never been able to verify.

The question to your awnser lies within...

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

A stately pleasure-dome decree:

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground

With walls and towers were girdled round:

And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills

Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;

And here were forests ancient as the hills,

Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted

Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!

A savage place! as holy and enchanted

As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted

By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

 

Samuel Taylor Coleridge might have been writing about Shasta, but more likely it was the opium.

I climed Shasta in 1992.I saw a man in a speedo swimsuit,ski poles and a water bottle at his waist. He had nothing else on,I saw him descending the red banks at over 12,000ft.It was a cold windy june day. My wife said man that guy was built!
