You can also scroll through this book with a few pictures and read about the Bohemian Jinks. It’s interesting.
The forest play with the tree-spirits and
sacred groves got me thinking of the
arboreal entities and
Middle-earth plants in the "Lord of the Rings". And wondering if Tolkien himself or any of the other
Inklings could have been among the global-spanning invites to the Bohemian Grove over the decades. Apparently not.
Quote:There’s a lot of weird stuff here. We have a weird Temple of Isis thing, too. This area is notorious for weird crap, e.g., the Peoples Temple, etc.
<grin> Maybe the type of
entomologist drifting from six-legged to two-legged specimens would find the area an attractive resource for study. I guess organizations like the
Satanic Temple go through all the motions like actors, with full awareness of it being activist theater. But the other ritualistic practices across the globe born in the course of recent history...
Perhaps it's like imaginary kid's play kept alive at the adult level to serve a lingering social, psychological, or recreational need. Whatever function these various overtly invented spiritual orientations or their ceremonies serve, they surely don't necessarily entail initially believing in the most fantastic elements at the deepest level of the participant's mind. Anymore than the child did with make-believe creatures they had as friends or battle foes. But somehow all the other group members engaging in the pretense along with one gives the "game" a sense of intersubjective realness or credibility -- similar to our treating moral contracts, consanguineous ties, marriage vows, and pledges of allegiance as sacred or holy. Of course, as generations of those "playing the game" pile up, the original personal secrets of the founders die (the how and why of their concocting the game), so that over time it may be hazily regarded as truly having risen from legitimate spiritual insight or higher-level intervention.
Quote:When my boys were young, my youngest came running into the house crying because the older boys wouldn’t let him into their secret club. The girls were out front and saw what happened. They knocked on the door and told him that they had a better club. The father of one was contractor and built them a cool little clubhouse. They made him a necklace and dubbed him an honorary member. They had snacks and all sorts of activities for him. That entire summer was full out war. The boys were jealous and tried to recruit him to back into their club but he declined. They spent the entire summer trying to destroy their clubhouse, complete with covert operations and everything. They still talk about it.
"Weaving spiders come not here"
Screw that! Nothing wrong networking, right? Can you imagine a similar situation, where each summer the most rich and powerful women meet, and choose only a handful of men as honorary members, but with the motto of…
"Where webs are weaved"
Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When first we practise to deceive!
Yah, what's being woven usually isn't as cabalistic as the NWO romps below, but ventured alliances are bound to tentatively form like contestants on
Survivor.
Amusingly, there's that crazy
conspiracy stuff that focuses on Hillary Clinton's hacked-emails occasionally, with a connection to Bohemian Grove. Especially where one staffer,
Lew Amselem wrote something forwarded down the line to eventually reach Hillary. It's at the very end of
the message.
“
With fingers crossed, the old rabbit’s foot out of the box in the attic, I will be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch . . .” ... "
Hillary Clinton is so deeply entrenched in the elite New World Order establishment that she even bows down to Moloch, the same occultist god they perform human sacrifice rituals for at the annual Bohemian Grove meetings [...] The Bohemian Grove club might be infamously male only, but temporary exceptions have been made for women before..."
--Wikileaks Email Dump Reveals Clinton Ties To Occultist Group
OTOH, there are sources which claim the Russian hackers may have modified some of Hillary's and other colleagues' emails prior to giving them to Wikileaks. That one seems a probable candidate. If nothing else, a facetious closing remark that shouldn't be less uncommon with government employees than with everybody else. (
