The designation of Michael Peak as the "Peak of Initiation" was made known in a very dramatic way. This occurred following an initiation, December 20th, 1997, at Emerald Lake. [See story below]
A Winter Solstice Healing Journey
to Emerald Lake
A new acquaintance had asked to be taken to Emerald Lake to make contact with Lord Mikael. He had very recently been widowed and was in a deep grieving process. Mikah escorted the widower to a chosen point on the far side of the lake, trudging in knee deep snow all the way.
A powerful contact was made with Lord Mikael and Lady Faith. The initiate released much grief and experienced profound healing. Mikah was prompted to take her leave allowing him time alone in the Presence.
Feeling profoundly moved and very introspect, Mikah walked the perimeter of the frozen surface of the lake, quietly making her way back to the lodge. The initiation had stirred something deep inside of her. She walked about 10 minutes, when she heard a very strong voice within saying,
"Turn around!"
Mikah didn't immediately comply and again she heard,
"Turn around!"
She quickly turned and looked in the direction of the initiate. He was still standing on the frozen lake with his hands outstretched, exactly as she had left him.

When Mikah looked above where he stood,
a strong rush of energy coursed through her.
Directly above him was Michael Peak. The voice rang out again,
"Behold ... the Peak of Initiation!"
In that moment, Mikah was stunned and trembling. She couldn't believe that she hadn't understood this before, as she was personally initiated in the shadow of this sacred peak in 1984, by a "metaphysical teacher" from Cyprus she 'happened' to cross paths with.

exceptional.
However, we were careful not to feed them, as this makes these creatures dependent on hikers' offerings. Feeding any wild animal is not permitted in the National Parks.
