Charging Mountains: Inside the Aetherius Society

In 1955, a London taxi driver named George King claimed an extraterrestrial intelligence called Aetherius contacted him. He became the Primary Terrestrial Mental Channel for the Cosmic Masters, and founded a religion where specific mountains around the world serve as spiritual capacitors. This episode explores the Aetherius Society's origins, the mechanics of charging a mountain, the pilgrimage experience, and how the movement survived its founder's death in 1997. We also cover the Silence Group's claimed role in counteracting the spiritual fallout of the 1957 Kyshtym nuclear disaster, and why this small but persistent new religious movement has endured for over seventy years.
