An Imaginative Reconstruction of the Lore of the

Lost Continent of Lemuria

MT. SHASTA FOLKLORE

The concept of the Sylph was first created by the alchemist,

Paracelsus. The concept has been modified over the years to

represent a form of fairy life, that of the 'air spirits,' though

some thinkers on the subject of fairies relate the Sylphs to

mental or 'fire spirits.'

I have written a book on Lemuria, which is now out of print.

It was in part a 'stamp book,' containing protectively mounted

signed and numbered copies of  stamps from Lemuria, created

by myself.

LEMURIANS

Many metaphysical people--from Mt. Shasta especially--take the

subject of the Lemurians very seriously. I hope that my presentation

does not impinge upon anyone's sensitivities. Perhaps most people

would rather see all this as an imaginative fairy tale. And indeed

much of this material is completely fictional. But even works of

fiction can relay truths that cannot be relayed by conventional

thought.

Helene Blavatsky, the Russian Theosophist, was the first person

to popularize the concept of a forgotten race of people, referred

to as the Lemurians. Lemuria is styled as a lost continent of the

Pacific or of the Indian Ocean, a kindred concept to that of the

lost continent of Atlantis.

My map of the lost continent of Lemuria shows that portion of

Lemuria that existed in ancient northern California.

I used to live up near Mt. Shasta when I was a little boy; and I have utilized earths gathered

at Mt. Shasta as pigments for paints for my paintings and sculptures in my adult years.
