Apparently, the rather ominous Bohemian Grove annual occulty event is now a "festival".
We know that because the writer and activist Kellie Tranter said so in at least 4 places in her opening paras, before I lost count. After that it became an innocent boys weekend away, giving the impression of raunchy jokes whispered behind hands, barbie's, beer and all the usual boys-at-play antics.
The "provocative presentation" in the words of the organizers is, of course a ritual drama, with an occult theme, called the Cremation of Care ceremony. What the writer of the above article prefers to call "druid worship", is actually possible if the owl symbol of the Grovers is, indeed, the owl of Minerva called Moloch (formerly Molech), which I think it probably is. Although to be fair, I think it more likely that it is the Roman love of conquest and war that is being honoured here.
Minerva was the Roman goddess of war, wisdom and the arts, and who curiously equates with the goddess Britannia.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
