KingSss Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Legends and myths of the five sacred mountains Many mountains have legends that have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. In them they are living beings, even gods, but always with their characteristic appearance and temper. Here are 5 of them: Kailas, Tibet According to myths, in this mountain lives the great god of movement and destruction Shiva with his retinue of deities and spirits. In many ancient texts about Kailas, the same is repeated - none of the mortals dare to climb the mountain where the immortals reside, led by Shiva. And it is a fact that to this day this mountain has never been climbed, since it is believed that conquering its summit is equivalent to subjugating the souls of thousands. For many centuries, Kailas was a sacred site for Hindus and Buddhists, and before that it was the center of shamanic mysteries where mass sacrifices were made. Sinai, Egypt This mountain is well known as the holy place where God appeared to Moses and gave him the stone tables with the Ten Commandments of God. In biblical times, the mountain was called the mountain of God. It was the scene of some of the most important moments in the journey of the chosen people into the wilderness after their departure from Egypt. The name Sinai is very likely to be derived from the name of the Deity Son, as well as that of the Desert Son. Comfort hotels in Fuji, Japan Many myths and legends are associated with Mount Fuji and have made it the center of religious thinking. It is called the Buddhist goddess of fire Fuchi and is the sacred mountain of the Shinto goddess Seng-Sama, whose sanctuary is at the top. It is the most sacred of the three sacred Japanese mountains. Ascending Fuji's nascent respect is definitely one of the biggest challenges Japan has to offer. It is a matter of honor for the Japanese. Shasta, USA It is believed that a strange force inhabits the region and protects the native po[CENSORED]tion. Each march to her required long preparation through prayers, fasting, and shaman guidance. Failure to comply with all of these conditions will usually result in loss, serious trauma, insanity, or even disappearance from the face of the Earth. Some Native American tribes consider it one of the thirteen refugees of lizard people. Others describe the place as a secret entrance to an ancient Lemurian world in which survivors of the continent's death are sheltered. There is even evidence that the mountain harbors an ancient brotherhood that uses mystical energy through which it tunnels through solid rocks. Lycaion Mountain Lycaon Mountain is the site of one of the earliest werewolf legends. Likaon, a hero in ancient Greek mythology, had 50 sons. Ancient legend states that when Likaon's only daughter was hunted, she was seduced by Zeus and she became pregnant by him. Likaon was so angry with his daughter's defilement that he killed her child and offered it to Zeus while the god was visiting for dinner. Zeus was angry, killing all the sons of Lycaon and turning him into a wolf. It is believed that if one eats meat from the mountain, it will become a wolf in nine months, then it will regain its human form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
