Aetherius Society
The Aetherius Society considers it to be one of its 19 holy mountains.[3][4][5]
According to the Aetherius Society, Mount Wakefield was charged with majestic spiritual powers by The Master Jesus, a Cosmic Master from the planet Venus. On Christmas Eve of 1960, George King climbed the mountain in order to act as a conduit for the power between The Master Jesus & Mount Wakefield.[3]
